Since Isabelle is starting to eat solid foods we decided to make our own baby food. It is so simple with the babycook babyfood maker. 1-2-3 and your done! Here are the first few jars from the Buxton kitchen...... watch out Gerber!
At only 6 months Isabelle knows about the finer things. This is her usual mood after a hot bath, a little baby massage and a fine bottle of Mama's Leche, 09' (the best year). She will lounge around in her robe and lamb slippers and listen to a classic rendition of twinkle twinkle little star, until she retires to her cozy haven of pink to dream her little dreams.
Isabelle has realized that there is a lot to see on our car rides and its not just a good time for a nap. Ever since this amazing discovery she will not relax in the car, she will hold herself up as long as she can just to see whats going on around her. Her neck must get tired!
This is Isabelle's cousin Carter. He is only one month older, but in size, he is quite a bit bigger. We figure it will be about 2 years before Isabelle reaches his size. Isabelle always looks forward to some cousin time, but since he lives in Washington she only gets to see him so often.
Here, Carter explains his goal of entering the NFL Draft next summer and how he can put in a word for her with the cheerleaders coach.
Ever since Isabelle saw her cousin Carter balancing on his feet, via his blog, it is all she can think about. So today she insisted we catch her on camera.....just to further the friendly "Cousin Competition."
Maybe they will have a "Stand Off" this weekend when Carter comes to visit!
We decided it was time to go buy Isabelle a high chair. She looks pretty small sitting there, but she will grow into it. She seems to really like it!
We took Isabelle to her first Gymboree class. Since she is so advanced she skipped level one and went to level two. When we first arrived we put her name tag on and waited for class to begin. 
She did so many different activities like parachute and bubble time,
she discovered different tunnels,
daddy explained how to push the ball,
she just loved the colorful balls,
Isabelle was all "cowgirled-up" and ready for the rodeo. She went and watched bull riding and the rodeo clowns. Everybody loved her western look!
Isabelle is getting so close to sitting all by herself. Everyday she can sit a little longer. I swear she is doing something new everyday.
We decided to get Isabelle's pictures taken every month for the first year. So here is a peak of a few this month.
Look what Isabelle learned to do this week. After 5 months of drooling and soaked onesies, Isabelle figured out she could entertain herself with blowing bubbles.
One thing that everyone told us is that babies grow up fast. We have realized how true that is! I cannot believe that Isabelle is going to be 5 months. We are cherishing every moment with her, she is not going to be small forever. Looking back on her monthly pictures proves that babies do grow fast.
