Month Five with Isabelle

Isabelle turned five months old yesterday. Some highlights:

  • The little one has started arching her back a lot. It makes sitting with her a challenge because she’s all squirmy and wiggly.

  • She has started getting tangles in her hair! Oh no! TANGLES!!!! Alan sits there and works them out, like he’s grooming a little monkey.

  • During bath time she cranes her neck back a lot and it makes it hard to hold her. She’s just asking to roll head first into the water. But on the plus side it makes cleaning her little neck fold much easier.

  • She gets distracted while eating now. I must stay quiet and not move my hands into view or she’ll stop and stare.

  • Isabelle likes standing. Sometimes when we try to sit her down she locks her legs as if she’s standing.

  • She tries blowing raspberries. Video here.

  • She sticks her tongue out a whole lot now.

  • She started talking a lot falling asleep like she’s fighting it and trying to convince us to let her stay awake, talking to the sandman. Video here.

  • She can turn herself around in her exersaucer.

  • She’s started trying to lift her head and upper body up while she’s eating on her left side. Silly baby…can’t eat and get up at the same time.

  • And finally…rolling. Yep she’s got that down.

    • Isabelle is the center of our world. She is soooo loved.

    Read month four.

    I wandered over to Futuregirl’s Gallery by way of Crafting Japanese and saw the cutest toy puppy she made. It just sent me over the edge. I’ve tried ordering from Amazon Japan before but just couldn’t figure it out. Well that day it worked. It was meant to be. So I ordered that book along with four other yummy books that I have had my eye on. (can books be yummy? Yes! I think they can!!)

    These are the books I bought:
    ISBN: 4579110544 Clothes for girls
    ISBN: 4391130122 Crocheted Kitty
    ISBN: 4579109783 The one Futuregirl has with the cute puppy
    ISBN: 452904114X Softies
    ISBN: 4056041792 and more softies especially love the bunny

    Now if only I could read Japanese…

    Well maybe I can figure out the patterns…(says this non sewer)
