Yay Grams & Grampa are here!

I am standing!

Swinging with Grams


This has been such a fun time with Grams & Grampa. Isla has changed so much in the past few weeks. She just seems older somehow. She has been getting more & more confident standing on her feet without holding on, and is all over the place side stepping while holding on to furniture and whatever else she can get her hands on. Isla has taken over our short, narrow coffee table that Taylor built as a temporary fix many years ago. She now plays with her toys standing up over it and walks around the table while holding on to it for support. She is ever the mover. She went to the park several times with Grams & Grampa to swing, and enjoyed the beautiful weather for a good portion of their time here.

Isla is very much enjoying eating "big girl" food, especially anything she can feed herself with her fingers. She tried mom's family's ricotta gnocchi, and I am pleased to say is in love with them. She could truly eat them all day. She "double fists" the food she likes, with one piece of food in one hand and another piece in her other hand, so as to never run out. She also LOVES avocado and could seriously eat a whole one in a day. It is so great to watch her feed herself. She gets kind of serious and focused. Very adorable.

Isla has been singing even more. We now think she sings to herself and chats with the things in her crib, as she is falling asleep. It is great to listen to (on the monitor). She is experimenting with LOTS of sounds, including a throat clearing sound (which we think she was copying all those who got sick this past week), a humming sound, and a gurgling sound. She is also experimenting with lots of tongue movements as well, including chewing on her tongue. She is quite a character, with a huge, seriously huge, personality!
