I haven’t written in this in a while. I’m on my way to Nashville for Neil’s bachelor party. It’s so much harder to leave now. I try to remember Izzy looking at me as I say goodbye.  We took her to the doctor last night (Anna was being a little 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.

I didn’t really finish my last post. Izzy went on 2 beach week vacations, with both sets of families. She was able to hold her bottle, and was the star of the show. Anna showed me a picture of izzy when she was just born. She’s already so much bigger Read more…
