6 weeks tomorrow


Wow! Isabelle is growing growing. She now weighs over 8 1/2 pounds. She's starting to really pay attention now when you talk to her and occasionally she smiles back. Also she has started scooting all around in her bed. I will lay her one direction and when I come back in when she wakes up her head is facing the side of the crib instead of the top. Some days though she really doesn't like to sleep during the day, but it has been getting better. She was averaging a 5 to 6 hour stretch of sleep in the night but she hasn't made it past 3 1/2 in about 4 or 5 nights. I think she is in a growth spurt. Gabe and I are adjusting more and more to parenthood. We bought a team van two weeks ago which has made things much easier for us. Now we are able to go places with Isabelle and I can get out of the house more. Plus it has been great for all kinds of ministry stuff already like driving the interns, airport pickups, trips to Velingrad, etc. Enjoy the pics of our little princess.





She's staring at herself in the mirror here. We love her new play mat. And she seems more interested in it everyday.


I love this picture. She's so much more alert these days.
