Lovely Weekend

The weather has been beautiful here-although is getting a bit colder this week. Everything is FINALLY turning green. Thank goodness. Here are a few pics from the weekend. Isla has been perfecting her sippy cup skills, and even tried a teething cookie. We did a lot of playing in the backyard and relaxing. Life is good.

6 month stats

Isla weighs 17 lbs, 4 oz and is 25.25 inches tall. She is doing great and was healthy as can be at her 6 month visit.

Easter and Warm Weather

We are loving the warm weather! Our sprinklers are on, our gardens are planted and we are just praying the snow is over! The temps this week are supposed to stay above 60 all week! Hallelujah! We had a wonderful Easter holiday! Here are a couple of recent pics:

Six Months

Hard to believe baby girl is 6 months old! She is such a doll, started solids, doing great and loving everything. She is the funniest little gal. :) We are so in love.

What are we up to?

Things are busy in the Albano house. Brandon's 35th birthday is tomorrow! We spent the evening out for a fun dinner at Benihana. It is Hudson's favorite restaurant and he loved it. Tomorrow night we head out for a fun dinner and drink night out with friends downtown. I can't wait as we haven't had a night out in a while :). Heidi-our new nanny is working out really great and Hudson has been with her all week due to spring break and is doing great with her. Our laundry room renovation is underway and our light yellow "fortune cookie by Martha Stewart" cabinets were installed yesterday. Today, the countertop person comes to measure. Everything should be wrapped up in a couple of short weeks while we wait for the counters to be cut, and will likely be getting the room painted a light ivory :) We also ordered new couches finally (two to face each other in the living room). I will post pictures when those arrive in about 4 weeks. Things are finally coming together!!! Oh and the weather is warming up :) Thank goodness. Can't believe Isla will be 6 months in a few short weeks..

Five Months

Isla turned five months yesterday. What is she up to? She is experimenting with solid foods, including carrots and prunes. She LOVES carrots and is doing just great. She is drinking around 24-30 ounces of milk a day and is doing great. She is rolling across the house, sitting up unassisted in her bumbo and generally flourishing. She is a happy happy girl, always smiling, and goes down for a nap and to bed quite easily. On the weekends her naps are short and she is busy, leading mommy to be very very busy. :) Isla loves toys now and grabs everything she sees. We are having such a great time with our big girl!! Hudson loves Isla too and I can't believe he is almost four! Yikes. He is totally potty trained, and is independent, helpful and very very smart. All around, we are doing great and there isn't much else to report. On the home front, we are working on getting things hung up on the walls (still lol) and looking to purchase new living room furniture in the near future. Our laundry room should be underway in a couple of weeks also. So exciting!

Isla...Almost Five Months! YIKES :)
