fabric and family

so bree (pete's sister) just got back from a month-long trip to japan (so jealous), and she was so gracious to find and bring back some fabric for me. now, i just have to hone my sewing skills. i've sewn 2 pairs of pants and a doll for izzy, but they all are very sloppy. blarg...



as for the family, izzy has changed a lot since i last updated you all. she is now walking! she also has 4 new teeth--molars, to be exact. she can sign "baby," and we've tried getting her to do the other signs but she just chuckles. she's down to one nursing session a day, and she's doing really well. despite her allergies, she is a happy eater. she'll eat just about anything. well, she doesn't like orange vegetables for some reason. oh, she talks a lot. it's still jibber-jabber, but she has a lot to say. she also has a lot of facial expressions to go along with what she is talking about.


*don't be grossed out by her food. it's lentil soup. i make it every so often, and the kid loves it.


*izzy at the local splash pad. there were a billion kids there, and they were all bigger. izzy was really nervous and cold, so she spent most of the time walking very slow and doing a weird chicken pose. see below.
