Ok, so she hasn't completely got the "Sooo Big" down, just yet... HOWEVER, she IS pulling herself onto her feet! :-)
She did it for the first time yesterday. She would have tried days ago, but yesterday was the first time I was wearing non-stretch pants! ;-)

Back to Cloth
For a little while we stopped using cloth diapers on Isla. We THOUGHT it was the cloth that was giving her a rash... WRONG-O! It was actually the lack of diaper changes at daycare... :-(
So, now that my BFF Suzie Q is watching Isla every day, Isla has a clear bottom! We are back on cloth and its working quite well! :-) I am THRILLED that she's in them again.

Snowboarding
The girls and I have begun our weekly snowboarding adventures to get ready for out "2011 OMG Michigan" snowboarding trip.
Cece is looking AWESOME and I am so jealous. Kelly is doing great, but I tend to go too fast and I don't get to watch her too much. Sue is all about the toe side and is working on her heel. I am still working on steering with my back leg and haven't mastered the carving... But we're all on the right track!
It's just great to get together with the girls once a week. We should have started this a long time ago.

A new house - a new lifestyle!
First thing's first - we bought a new home! We began looking because there were so many great homes on the market and the interest rates were remarkable! Once we got pre-approved we called up our friend and realtor Melissa to start our search.
We looked at quite a few, but after heartbreaks and let downs we finally found THE ONE in Belle Plaine! It was a blank slate - which is great for Rich and I, because we really wanted to add our own touches. With an unfinished basement, bathroom and laundry roughed in, this was the perfect find. Unfinished is 1300 sq ft for $145K.
It might be further away from friends and family, but we are ready to continue our life and meet new friends in a beautiful new area!
So far we have painted the Kitchen and Living areas. There are some touchups needed, but it's looking fantastic! We picked up an electric fireplace to add to the ambiance of the living room - and boy does it look great! Beautiful old-fashioned design to mix with the modern elements of the home. We got all new furniture for living and dining and we are so pleased!
We are still working on unpacking (we moved in the weekend before Christmas). That is definitely taking a lifetime!
To go with the new house, Rich got a new job! He is working for Buhler Group Inc out of Plymouth, but he mostly travels. He is a Customer Service Engineer and is really enjoying it!
More to come!

Now that things are calming down....
I can finally post again!
Usually I like to post when we've had an adventure or Isla has hit a milestone... It's been a while since she has hit one, so I will just let everyone know what is going on with her now.
Miss Isla Bee is so active! She isn't crawling yet and she has no teeth, but she is rolling and flipping! I have a feeling she is going to roll to where she wants to go instead of crawl. It doesn't matter to me if she doesn't crawl!
She is learning "Peek-a-boo!" right now and has been waving "HI!" for a while. She goes "Haaaa," which I believe is her way of saying Hi. :-)
She likes her toys, but loves dog toys more... Typical. ;-)
She is back on regular formula and is eating baby food three times a day. She likes to eat cheerios, but hasn't quite figured out how to get them to her own mouth. But she's working on it!
She's starting to make "Da" sounds - just waiting on "Ma." ;-)
Stay tuned - there have been a lot of changes since my last post.
