Izzy's World

It's fun to be a traveler on Izzy's road to growing up.  I miss the baby at times, but when she does these things, I just smile and get excited for what's to come.

As I've mentioned before, Izzy is a stuffed animal fanatic.  Her crib is full of them.  After she woke up from nap, she wanted to place them on the railing… with mommy's help of course.  She giggled so much as this she woke daddy up from his sleeping (he worked last night so was sleeping during the day).  It was hard to get her out of the crib after we did this though.

Tunneling!!!!  If only we could build more!

I find these the funniest… what position will I find her in the morning???

When Izzy was just a babe, Abe was worried that he was going to harm her.  That never turned out to be true.  Clay is now one of Izzy's favorite "friends".  She will scoop his food for him, give him treats AND toys.  Her favorite is trying to get him to wear his last year's Halloween costume (the hair).  And Clay just takes it all in stride… not one hiss.  Gotta love the fuzz ball!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are blessed this year to spend Thanksgiving with Abe's parents, Habib & Salwa.  Even Clay was not forgotten!  Wishing everyone a warm and safe holiday season.

Busy, busy, busy with Izzy

As the weather is growing colder up here day by day… we have to take part of the times when it is still nice enough to be outside.  So on a rare day when all of us had off, we took a mini-trip to Providence to visit their zoo.  They have the bigger animals that the zoo in Boston does not have including elephants which was Izzy's animal of the week.

Capturing a family picture on the elephant.

 We took a break and went inside the gift shop to warm up a bit.  Izzy & daddy had such a good time.  Between the two of them, I didn't who to tell "keep your hands to yourself".

 Izzy is a stuffed animal fanatic!  She just couldn't get enough of all the animals in the store.

 Yes, we were "that family".  You know, the one where you wish they would just leave because of the mess they are making.  But it was short lived.  Izzy helped clean up after overdosing on the stuffed animals.

Izzy's new favorite thing is pull toys.  We have plenty here allowing her to choose which ones.  She will go round and round the apartment and even enjoys when mommy picks up the other ones and chases her.
