Pigtails

Miss Izzy has been sporting pigtails lately to match her spunky personality! We have already had a busy weekend and Saturday isn't even over yet. Pat took Izzy with him to Menards and Lowe's this morning while I was at Yoga. I was very impressed that Daddy not only ventured out with Izzy so early, but he also had to let her walk and hold his hand, since he had to get a large cart to hold the wood he was buying and it didn't have a seat for Izzy to ride in. Needless to say, Miss Independent seemed to enjoy it. Then, our little helper played at home for awhile before running some more errands with mommy. We ran to the mall quick to pick up a few new maternity items for me, as this time around, I seem to be carrying lower and have found most of my clothes are uncomfortable. Izzy was super excited to try on some clothing for herself too and we got her the perfect Easter dress that she'll also wear for her baby brother's newborn photoshoot. We also got baby brother a little outfit too! Then, we met Nana and Auntie Heather and got to see what baby girl's room is going to look like, can't wait to see it all put together. Izzy was a trooper, but LOVES riding in her stroller and checking everyone and everything out, so I don't think she minded shopping.

Pat has been busy working on the basement, I'll try to post a photo of his progress tomorrow. He has done an amazing job, but one would expect nothing less from him. The way he can visualize all of this and make an idea turn out is very impressive. I love to have ideas, but could never imagine finding a way to get it done or even know where to begin working.

Cheese!

"HUGGGGGG!"

Blankies are obviously needed to go on the big girl potty. Miss Izzy was successful the other day, but surprised herself when doing so!

Miss Haddie came over to play, Izzy really wanted a self-portrait with her and grabbed my phone and said cheese. 

"Don't smile!"

These two finger/hand suckers are going to be trouble soon. Thanks for coming Kari and Haddie.

Goofball in the morning before daycare.

"Wock, wock, wocking" in her/baby brother's new chair from Nana.

Clearly not suffering too much while shopping. As soon as we met Heather and Nana, she was greeted with a teddy bear and a cupcake. 

She loves to hang upside down and will yell for Stella to come and kiss her. 

Painting with shaving cream in the bath tonight. She LOVED it!

I don't think she'll mind having a brother and all the cars and trucks that he'll have. She has been kissing my stomach recently when I asked her to kiss baby brother, it is pretty cute!
