Isabella loves.....

Her mommy :) She loves sleeping with her mommy too! Sometimes this is the only way I can get her take a long nap is to ly down with her. She also loves her chi-chi! Don't try and give her a bottle, she will adamantly refuse it. It is such a wonderful feeling though, knowing how much satisfaction she gets from nursing. Whether she is having stomach pains, gets a little too worked up, or just having an off day, all I have to do is let her nurse a little while. It is absolutely the best feeling in the world being able to make her so happy.
She also loves her Baby Einstein dvds and cartoons!! The bright colors and contrasts will hold her attention for awhile--at least long enough for me to get the kitchen clean!! And she loves 'talking' to her daddy and listening to Cumbia with him. I have walked into the room before to see her fast asleep after her daddy bounced her around a little to Cumbia, she loves the instruments and beats. She also loves anything she can put into her mouth! And I mean anything!!

She is such a wonderful girl and when I look at her I cant believe I have been so blessed.

Changes

Today Isabella rolled over for the first time! She has also been talking up a storm! I remember the days when she was so little and I would cry when she would nurse b/c it hurt so bad...and the nights when she stayed awake till 5 am. And now all of a sudden those memories are nothing but that..memories. And memories that I love. I have been lucky enough to be at home with her through her crying, laughing, bathing, eating, and everything. I wouldnt trade any of the diaper changers for any good paying job on wall street.
