Wow, Isla has grown up so much in the last month! Where to start? Well she’s starting to talk now. More than just the "da da" and "ma ma" words. The cutest is that she’ll say "cheese" for the camera, and after she says it she smiles REAL BIG! During the Super Bowl she was also saying touchdown which sounds more like "tut dwn" and she’ll throw her arms up like the refs do (though she was rooting for the Colts and her team lost this year). She’s doing plenty of others like "ball" and "block" which sounds more like "bok". She’s saying "uh-oh" too when she drops things.
She’s also learned to shake her head for yes and no. And for the most part she uses the one she wants to. She’s also pointing out things like mouth, nose, eyes, and belly. If you say, "Isla, where’s your belly" she’ll lift her shirt up and look at her stomach.
She likes to make "fish lips" now too. It ends up looking more like a kissy face. She puckers her lips up and moves her jaw up and down. She thinks that’s pretty funny.
She’s starting to like to color and scribble also. And half the time you can find her carrying a book around, she just loves flipping pages and having mommy and daddy read to her.
She has learned to climb up on things (yikes). She’s gotten up on the couch on her own, and while she’s waiting for the bathtub to fill up she’ll try to lift that leg up to get in, but she’s still a little too short for that.
She can even unlock mommy’s iPhone on her own. She picks it up, presses the button to turn the screen on, and she even knows how to slide her finger to unlock it. Then she becomes dangerous...the next thing you know the icons are in edit mode where you can easily delete things with just a simple tap...
She’s gotten a couple more teeth too, one of them is a molar. Jamie thinks the molar under that one is starting to show, so it is just a matter of time before she can do some real damage! Although she’s already a bottomless pit. She out-eats Kelton at almost every meal...though that’s not saying too much since Kelton has become a very finicky eater lately.

Isla has learned to whistle! Ha ha!
Jamie heard her first several days ago, but the other day I was playing with her and Kelton and I had a toy that is meant to squirt water in the tub, but I was just squeezing it making air sounds... Isla puckered her lips and started breathing in and out to sound like the toy, and she started whistling.

Since we last posted Isla officially turned 1 year old! And since then (now a month later) she has grown up a lot!
She’s really started to chatter and make different sounds. She’ll often mimic just about any sound as best she can. It’s Christmas time so we’ve been trying "ho ho ho" a lot. She’ll pucker up her lips and basically humms the sound "mmm mmm mmm". So cute!
She’s a pro at walking and has been going faster and faster. She has even officially ran away from me...she saw me coming, got a big grin on her face, turned around, and took off down the hall.
She is now consistently sleeping through the night. Very seldom does she wake up before morning.
She’s fully transitioned off of formula and baby bottles. She’s such a big girl now! She’s eating table foods and having sippy cups of milk, juice, and sweet tea. After the holidays we will be removing the pacifier as well. It shouldn’t be hard since we can get her to fall asleep without it already.
At her last doctor checkup, she was healthy despite being at only 3% on her height and weight -- she’s just a little girl.
She enjoyed Christmas! Still a bit too young to really know what’s going on, but she knows she likes her new baby dolls, toys, and books. She’s very cute with her baby dolls. She’ll pick them up and say "awe" as she squeezes them up to her cheek. She’ll give them kisses, and feed them with those toy bottles with real liquid inside. It’s funny when she feeds them because she’ll smack her lips to make an eating sound.
She also likes all of Kelton’s new Christmas toys! Ha ha ha! That poor boy.

Just today Isla has started to stand up all on her own without holding on to anything. And you can already tell she’s starting to favor walking over crawling!
Mommy has started transitioning her off of formula. She’s also been sleeping through the night more often! She’s really starting to act like a toddler.

Isla had her princess party for her first birthday yesterday. She had a large turn-out of friends and family! She had a great time. She received lots of money and plenty of clothes. Her favorites were the baby dolls she was given -- she’s 100% girl!
She was too timid to really go after her smash cake, she didn’t like her fingers being messy!
She had a blast watching all the kids running around like maniacs!
