Well I have finally decided to sit down and blog. This weekend has been a bit of a whirlwind as we had Christmas with both sides of my family and Isabelle's birthday. She has been so blessed this year. I figured that I better catch everyone up on her progress.
Isabelle is not walking yet. She is being really cautious for some reason about walking. She will take steps but normally only one and then she sits down. Maybe she is a bit like me. When I was learning to snowboard I would get scared if I went too fast and I would just sit down :).
She says many words, but only a few in context. She says "Kitty", "Maggie", "Up", and "Hot". She has also learned to sign please and all done. It is awesome to be able to communicate with her.
I have learned a lot about Isabelle the little girl who is "consecrated to God" over this past year. She is very sweet. She loves to read, taken in the world and move to the music. I think her smile is one of her most dynamic features along with her beautiful blue eyes. She loves to laugh which amplifys her smile. I still can't get over the fact that she is ours and that God felt that we were the perfect parents for her. I keep coming back to the thought that to whom much is given, much is expected. I desire so much to be a good steward of all the things that God has given to us and Isabelle is a constant reminder to me of that call.
So you are probably wondering where all the cute pictures are. Well, Isabelle managed to kill my input/output cord on the digital camera so we will have to post pictures once we get another cord. Hopefully that will be soon!
