Isla decided that she didn't want to go to bed just yet. She stayed up until 10:30 pm. But mommy was so tired. Isla was tired too, she just didn't want to admit it. So she snuggled even more so than usual. But I didn't mind - especially when she was this snuggly.
Note the tired eyes of isla. She was being so silly I just couldn't keep a serious face when she was jabbering about her long day.
This is Isla's BFF Bostyn - he lives on the top floor. Don't let their sizes fool you - Isla is a little bigger for her age, and Boss-man is a little smaller. He's 3 1/2 months older than Isla. He's an energetic little guy - always on the move! Crawling, standing up, and now he's wanting to hold anything and take assisted steps.
Isla just watches him and you can see she's asking "Why are you always on the move??" Only because Isla is more on the chill side of life ;)
Ok, ok. Don't let the above picture of these two little angels fool you. It's more like this the other 98% of the time:
I have a whole new admiration for mommas and daddys with two close in age, or twins. They are a handful. A very cute handful though.
Random picture of me and my siblings tuesday night at the Texas Roadhouse in Logan. We hardly ever get pictures together! But isn't that just life when all of the kids are grown up, having kids and careers?!
Isla has been enjoying growing. In fact she's really great at it. So much that mommy was such a weakling and decided she was just getting too big to carry around in her infant carseat.
I had been debating about this subject for a couple weeks. Then the decision was made that since she was 27 inches long, and 21 lbs (with clothes, diaper, and blankets) and the infant carseat went up to 30 lbs max, and 30 inches long that it was on with the new convertible carseat.
After lots and lots of research we decided (and when I say "we" I mean me...) that it was the the Britax "cowmooflage". Of course it's highly rated in safety, and her head doesn't roll forward when she sleeps. Now I really have to stick to a schedule!! Before I could just throw her in a carseat and let her fall asleep, now I have to wake her up everytime we get out and in. Oh well, the life of a growing baby :( bittersweet.
So since we aren't planning on having kiddos in the near future, we decided to sell the carseat. But on investigation it wasn't going to get a lot of money unless I sold the whole travel system. But I L.O.V.E. the jogging stroller. It's a babytrend. We use it a lot. So of course I went looking to see if they sold the jogging stroller separately online. Nope.
But they had a pink one in the same edition at Babies R Us, and we're 5 minutes away from that store. So I put the traveling system on ksl and 45 minutes later it was sold. Cue bittersweet moments again.
But Isla loves the forward-facing stroller. And she's digging the pink.
Have I mentioned that I'm just madly in love with these two yet??
Who knew carseat and strollers would cause this much research and grief???
Ugh. For most of the labor pics I was smiling - the ones where you know the hubby has the camera out, so you stop and shoot him a quick smile - but the other majority of the time is spent trying to "relax" through the contractions pretty sure I was thinking "alright tawni you can do this. here we go. oh geesh i'm going to be having a baby. ok ok focus...1,2,3,4,5, ugghhhhh" 
Here's our Halloween photo. Isla was a very masculine football. Basically it was cheap and it was a very warm bunting. 
Here's my BFF from 
Ryon gave her some lovin' 
Her cousin Kairie and Grandma Maisie giving Isla some kisses. Too cute ;) 
Micah's family got together for Mother's Day (now I can be in the mommy pic!!) Here's all the girls - minus Micah's other sister Brittany - I just love my in-laws. 
Hopefully I can start organizing and backing up our other pictures. Since Isla was born I feel overwhelmed with how many pictures there are! How do you guys keep your photographs organized??
p.s. you now have some hair that a flower can clip too! yeah!
Gaye pulled out this cute little turquoise box and told me that this was the best thing ever. She opened it up and it was a buttonholer. "I wish my machine had a good buttonholer like this one is." It's perfect, and I have the perfect project for this.
Here's Isla's Fisher Price Space Saver Highchair. I love it. I just hook it to a chair, and she's good to go. It has different positions, the tray is easy removable, and it can be put in the dishwasher. But it looks a little masculine. So one of my crafty blogs re did her cover.
Here's what I have so far. The binding is taking a little longer, because I have to be very patient and accurate.
I have made a mommy BFF in my apartment building. We go on walks, take treats to eachother, watch babies if one of us has to do an errand, trade a night a month for date night. It's great to have her around. She's crafty, hip, a good baker, cook, and funny.
