Week 17

Although you would never guess it by this crabby look on Bell's face- Week 17 was a good one. She actually took several naps during the day and went to bed well at night. I was home every day and we had lots of time to play. We can't believe how big she is now. Really- she is bigger than almost all of my friend's babies that are older than her. So funny because she started out teeny. We love it though. She is a future athlete for sure! Isabel decided that she loves this stuffed giraffe that she got from one of my coworkers. (Pretty much everything she loves she puts in her mouth now) This week we went for a walk using the Baby Bjorn. She is finally big enough to face forward so she enjoyed looking at all of the neighborhood sights. Her head still seemed pretty wobbly to me but she seemed to really enjoy it.
These are pictures of Bell's new favorite thing to do. Suck her thumb and eat her blanket! This is endlessly entertaining to her.
Now this picture took some doing on my part because Isabel and Lucky still refuse to acknowledge one another. Lucky is much more interested in Isabel's toys than in her. Sometimes when Jason and I are giving Isabel too much attention Lucky performs little "tricks" to get our attention... ( "Look what I can do!) like he'll race up and down the hallway as fast as he can or he'll roll onto his back and wiggle around. He even gets up in the glider and rocks in it when I am changing Bell's diaper. She is so not impressed.
The fact that Isabel NEVER smiles for the camera is starting to become a running joke. I have pretty much given up trying. Now we try to see just how crabby she can look in every picture. You would think she has a pretty hard life by her expressions in these pics.

I know what you mean about getting them to smile for the camera...its like an act of god!! PS about your BB carrier, i have that same one and brody fits further down in there and his arms go under the carrier top and out the sides. Are you sure you have her in their correctly? This might help with her wobbling!
