Today, Izzy and I and Anna played peek a boo. Izzy was laughing so loud. With me, she was trying to sneak under my hands to find me. Then she fell asleep on my chest. It was awesome. 

It’s been a long time since I wrote in this. Izzy had her first Christmas, Anna and I went to Costa Rica and left Izzy for a week, Izzy learned to crawl and has hair, and she can walk while holding on to things/hands. She’s also talking, first word was Read more…

I’ve been on the road for 3.5 days now. We are about to land and I’ll get to go home and see Anna and Izzy. Izzy crawled for the first time while I was gone. I used to make fun of people with their baby videos, but I think I’ve Read more…

I came home today after being in Atlanta for a few days, and I went to pick Izzy up from day care. When I got there to get her, she was in one of those things where you stand and play with things. She saw me and smiled, then started Read more…

Today is election day. You now only wonder how these decisions people make today will impact her life.  This past weekend Neil and Emily got married in Wilmington. Anna and I left Izzy with her parents, it was the first time Anna had left Izzy. It went great. I think Read more…

Izzy is over 5 months now. She is a very inconsistent sleeper. The progress she has made with her movements and strength is impressive though. She can basically sit up, she can stand up if she has something to hold on to, and she can easily roll over. 

Izzy is sick for the first time. It’s scary, and she only has a fever. She can also roll over, front to back and back to front, on her own. The hurricane is through new Bern, it was worst hurricane there since we’ve lived there. I hope nothing else happens Read more…

Quote for Izzy: Let your smile change the world, not the world change your smile.  Izzy ate “solid” food last night for the first time as I fed her from a spoon. She was feigning for it and not happy when it was gone.
