Here comes the Christmas Tree!

I finally got to put the new Christmas tree up. After a lot of work and figuring out all the electrical stuff, the tree lit up! It wasn't until after all the decorations were on it that I noticed the very bottom layer of the tree not having some clear lights...It is staying the way it is. I am NOT taking a thing down until 2011!

Izzy loves the tree and all the wonderful gadgets hanging off the branches. Gabriel helped me get the ornaments up, but favored one section of the tree and pretty much the one branch. Izzy helped by pulling the ornaments down, but it kept her occupied the entire time. Izzy likes to do the duck lip pucker thing and then she does the piggy snorting all at the same time(photo w/Madison). Pretty funny. Gabriel decided he needed to get under the tree, but no presents under there for him yet. I tried and tried to get a photo of the 2 kids together. As usual, maybe next time.

Gabriel's BFF

That would be Target. He was looking at a toy catalog and letting me know what he wanted. He got a little more detailed later on, but I am sure you can see what the theme of the thoughts is. He told me earlier that we needed to go to Target, "go Target, buy Thomas. Ok Mama?" Target commercials are a real nightmare in this house.

Izzy's first Beach experience!!!

NOT a happy baby!

Izzy at her 9 month check up and I guess she knows what is eventually going to happen. Shots. She only got one needle in the thigh an got over it pretty quickly. Izzy still was not happy about it and cried. This time, she is sitting up on her own. She didn't want to lay down for her commemorative office visit photo shoot. She only stopped crying when she was held. She is over the 95th percentile, as usual, for her weight (24lb 3 oz) and height (2ft 6in) and her head size is in the 90-95th percentile range. The doctor says she is just right weight and height wise. Our little butterball. Gobble gobble!

Happy Baby!
