The past two weeks in review:

I sincerely apologize for the tardiness of this post. I know there are some of you who check frequently for new postings and I feel as though I have let you down. My bad. So much has happened in the last two weeks. Isabella is walking and talking now. JUST KIDDING! In all seriousness, here's a brief summary of these past couple of weeks:

* Isabella slept 12 consecutive hours for the first time. If that weren't enough, she was still sleepy and went back to sleep for another 2+ hours. WHAT AN ANGEL!!!

* Isabella doesn't hate tummy time quite as much anymore because she can hold her head up and play with the toys on the mat.

* Isabella discovered the wonders of the Bumbo chair. She absolutely loves sitting in it.

* Unrelated to Isabella, David and I finally began purchasing furniture for our empty living room. We bought a sofa and cocktail table last weekend.

We leave for San Antonio on Friday, so next week's post (don't expect it any earlier than Wednesday because we don't return to Dallas until Tuesday) will have a ton of pictures. Stay tuned. In the meantime, here are the photos since the last posting:

Missing Videos

Apparently I'm not computer savvy enough to attach videos to the blog, so with a little help from David, here are the videos from Isabella's 3 month B-day:

Isabella's Party

This weekend was Isabella's party (since I opted not to have a shower before she was born). Her cousin Sara and Aunt Meagan were nice enough to co-host the party. She had a wonderful time, as did I. She enjoyed everyone that attended, especially her Aunt Meagan who made the long journey down to Dallas just for the event. The decor was adorable and the food was delicious. The restaurant, Bonnie Ruth's, did a fabulous job. They personalized menus and baked some of the best cupcakes I've ever had. They topped it all off with chocolate covered strawberries and a champaign toast. Here are some photos from the party (and two from afterwards):

Isabella's 3-Month Birthday

It's hard to believe that 3 months have passed. Children really do grow faster than I care to admit. I can't believe how much she has grown over the past 13 weeks. It truly saddens me how quickly time flies.

On a brighter note, with the growth has come a whole new world of sleep! Isabella gave us a gift of our own on her 3-month birthday. She slept 10 hours! As if that wasn't great enough, two days later she managed to top that by sleeping 11 1/2 hours. What an angel!!!

To celebrate her 3 months of life, I decided to do my own home version of a photo shoot. She was a great sport about it, so I hope you enjoy viewing the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Happy 4th of July!

We hosted our First Annual 4th of July Party yesterday. We spent most of the afternoon and evening in the pool...that was until the Rudy's BBQ was served. Isabella showed her Patriotic side by sporting her red, white and blue outfit. I was so preoccupied trying to take pictures of Isabella that I failed to capture the festivities. Sorry about that...

Isabella made a big step in the growing process Thursday night. She rolled over from her back to her tummy for the first time. We were so proud of her. It happened unexpectedly so I didn't have time to get the video camera to capture it. Maybe next time...

Here are the few photos I did take of the 4th and some random photos of Isabella:
