Just like her Daddy

It is funny how much Isla is turning out to be just like her Dad. Apart from looking exactly like him (and having the same hair line) she has also taken on some of his traits. I love my husband, but he can be very stubborn and it appears that Isla is the same way. She does not like it when we put a spoon in her mouth. She purses her lips and looks away as if to say "No way, no how, not gonna put that in mouth". Slowly she is backing down on this and trying out some solids. Her Grandma Connie was able to get her to eat cereal and pears this morning. Maybe we are making some progress with the solids, but I'm not going to push too hard just yet.

Isla is also turning out to be a baby that likes to just sit and observe. When she is on the floor she really has no desire to start moving around. She'll roll from side to side and look around, but that is about it. I was sort of beginning to worry that maybe something was wrong because other babies her age are a lot more mobile than she is. Then Grandma Connie informed me that Ryan was exactly the same way when he was a baby. Connie would watch all of her friend's kids crawl around and play while Ryan would just sit and watch them. As it is now Isla is following in her Dad's footsteps, but that could all change in a matter of weeks.

In the past week Isla is now sitting up on her own and rarely falls over. She will start to lean forward, but can now correct herself and sit back up. I still like to leave the boppy pillow around her though when she is on the ground playing with her toys. Here are some pictures of our baby girl - she is getting so big!:
