Learning to eat and lots of messes...

Izzy wondering where the real bread sticks are...

Izzy is loving finger foods, but we're still nervous about her choking on things. Mainly because she has no problem shoveling tons of food in her mouth, but then doesn't know quite what to do, and she scares us half to death when she does that!(new parent fears, I guess). We're working on teaching her to take small bites, chew and SWALLOW - (currently, she likes to just chew and add more food to her full mouth). I am all about giving her the food we eat, but for now, I'm liking baby foods, like this "biter biscuit", which work wonderfully in teaching her to swallow (they just disolve if she doesn't)and she doesn't choke on it.
Izzy makes quite a mess when she feeds herself, but you can tell she is so proud that she can feed herself. I'm amazed at all her abilities already!

more please!!

Also, she hates to have her hands and face wiped, but will gladly wash off in the sink!

Labor Day Weekend 2010

Another busy weekend has come and gone. It feels like we did so much with our family this weekend, but really we were all able to relax some and enjoy hanging out and playing with Izzy for the weekend. I'm thankful for the extra time with everyone. I just wish we had one more day off to do nothing now! Here are a few pictures to recap the weekend. Grammy made homemade blueberry pancakes while Izzy and Grandpa supervised (and taste-tested) YUM!! I'm pretty sure she said Yum a lot this weekend! Izzy showing Grammy how much she loves to take off and run outside She is growing up too fast - but still cuter than ever! Excited that Cheree and Daniel came too Learning all about Mac Books from Uncle D Laughing when Grandpa makes animal noises, another favorite for Izzy Ahhh ...my daily scene of frustration - wish she would listen to us and NOT stand on chairs every chance she gets...but naturally standing is always more fun than sitting for this daredevil, so we're working on that...

Closer than ever

It was soooooo good to see my brother and sister. I'm glad they will get to see Izzy more too! There is so much to her personality and abilities, it is just too hard to describe her over the phone! Yesterday was a very cool day for me - I got to hang out with my brother, sister and brother in law too... hanging out might not sound like a big deal, but to us, it is exciting because for the first time in a long time - at least 7 years the 3 Voyles siblings all live in the same state. Not just that, but we are only 2 hours away from each other. We have been 10 hours apart for the last 4 years...which meant only visiting each other 3 or 4 times a year - 3 or 4 RUSHED visits is hectic and not enough time together for us. Now with Cheree and Daniel in Chattanooga and we're in Nashville (so is Mark), we're all going to be able to see each other much more often, allowing us days to just "hang out" like we used to. I literally called Cheree and Daniel on Thursday to ask so...
