11 Months

In reading my past two posts one would wonder if we still do have a child and what she has been up to. Well the answer is yes and a lot to both questions! Isla has had quite a few changes in the past month or so. The biggest one would be that she finally decided that she wanted to crawl. She is now all over the place and Ryan and I are mourning the days when we could just set her on the floor to play with her toys and know that she wouldn't go anywhere. Now we have both sets of eyes on her at all times as she is finding all kinds of stuff on the floor to put in her mouth. Time to sweep and vacuum a little more frequently than we used to. For the past couple of days she has sat at the bottom of the stairs just looking at them. She hasn't attempted to climb them yet, but I'm sure she will sometime very soon.

Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks:

Isla was sick for about a week and so cuddly. She was not feeling well at all, but I enjoyed the nice hugs:

We were out in the front yard the other day and Isla decided she wanted to be silly and wear my shades. She thought she was pretty hot stuff:

That same day she decided that she wanted to help us rearrange our bookshelf - so thoughtful:

Thinking about the stairs:

Not quite yet - a little too steep:
