Baptism

Isabel was baptized last week in California. She was so good during the ceremony and then slept through her party. :)

With her Tia Chayo

With Laura and Alex

She met her Grandpa Javier for the first time!

Her Godparents, Tony and Maria

Like I said, sleeping through her own party. She got so many clothes!!

Pre-California fun

Some pics before we left town...

January

Isabel just continues to crack me up - she is squealing and laughing all the time. Her latest thing is sucking her bottom lip, and she resembles an old man without teeth when she does it (see pic above).

Freezing cold

Isabel is laughing more, blowing bubbles, grasping things - especially her feet. Here are some pics after a cold walk outside (it was 3 degrees today), and her first time wearing shoes - I don't think she really noticed. :)

Merry Christmas

Even if Isabel had no understanding, it was still so much fun to experience her first Christmas (I owe a big thanks to Courtney from work for working that day for me!!). We had a great time with family and got way too much stuff. Isabel was especially spoiled. Anyway, here are some pics of her in her Christmas pjs, and some cute hats (her Aunt Laura made the pink one). Isabel is still the best behaved baby ever - very mellow and so cute. We will keep her. :)

Christmas time!

Isabel is talking more and is just happier every day. We went to a Jazz-Lakers game last week, Isabel has never been so wide-eyed and quiet, she loved it (and loved it even more when the Jazz won! Sorry dad!)

She loves her Christmas outfit, and I have finally caught her smiling on camera!

First laugh today. This cute hat is was made by aunt Laura. Putting on the red suit really is like a scene out of "A Christmas Story", I think it may be too small, which is starting to happen with a lot of her 0-3 month clothes!
