Well two days ago, after her afternoon nap Izzy decided she was going to start walking!!!!! She would let go of whatever she was holding and just go for it!!! She will take as many as 10-15 steps before getting where she wants to go or falling down. We have it on video but I don't know how to download it. I will get DH to do it and then I will post it.
It is just so amazing to watch the changes day to day. Lately it seems like just about everyday she is doing something new. I know she will be running around before I know it......she can take her time, because I am not looking forward to having to try to catch her :)

Winter Fun
We took Izzy outside for some winter fun today. She was not going for the sledding today, not happy about it at all! She had a great time on her swing though!!! It was a perfect day for it today not too cold!!!

1 yr Check Up
We just got back from the Dr for Izzy's one year check up. She is perfect, Dr couldn't find anything wrong with her.
She weighed 22lbs 2 oz and was 30 1/4" long. She got two shots poor kid but she took them like a champ!
1 yr already, crazy!!!!

Juno
I have been meaning to post about this since last week I just haven't had time to sit down and get it out.
Last Thursday (Izzy's b-day) I went with my girlfriends to see the movie Juno. What a wonderful movie. It is funny, heartwarming and made me cry. It is about a teenage girl who gets pg and gives the baby up for a private adoption. It was a very full circle day for me when I saw the movie because right before I left, C, Izzy's Bm called me to wish Izzy a happy b-day and see how she was doing. It has been a long time since I have spoken with her, and it was so nice. It sounds like her and the birthfather are doing really well and I felt so much love for them. Words can't even express how I feel about these two amazing people. I am so glad she called and it was so nice to talk to her. I really really really hope they stay in touch over the years.
I made them a book on Shutterfly of Izzy's first year and I am waiting to receive it so I can get it out to the agency. I hope they like it. They sent Izzy a b-day present of some really cute clothes and socks which was so nice.
Anyway back to the movie, I really think all you adoptive and non adoptive parents that read my blog should go see it. It is fairly accurate when it comes to adoption, some of it is a little hollywood but it is a wonderful movie and I think it puts adoption in a great light!

So tired!!!
Man am I tired today! I don't know what was up with Izzy last night but she was up 3 times!!! The first time was at about 1:40, didn't go up there, she went back to sleep only to get up again at 2:30...which I went up there was going to give her motrin (i think she is teething) but it was empty so i just rocked her and put her back down, then she was up again at 5:30 at which point i did give her motrin and put her back to bed and she slept till her usual wake up time of 7:30. I just slept like crap even when I did sleep....I said to DH at 5:30, man going back to a newborn is going to suck!!! I really hope it is just teething and she is not getting sick!
I think it is kinda funny that neither one of us are rushing to fill out the paperwork.....i think because neither one of us is really ready to go back to getting up so much at night. We talked about starting it all in Feb...which is end of this week already!!!
Izzy's b-day party was a hit, the cousins had fun and Izzy did great! She ate her whole piece of cake and charmed everyone! She got some good toys but nobody went crazy which was good!
Oh and a status on my workout/weight loss journey......I have completed the first 2 weeks of working out....i even added one more day at home, so I have worked out 4 days a week for the last two weeks...that is the most ever in my life except for in high school when I played sports!!! I am also doing pretty well the nutrition part, it is hard to stick to it, but so far I am for the most part....I write everything down that I eat and teh nutritionist looks at it every monday! So yesterday we weighed in and I lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks!!! I was pretty pleased and so was the trainer and nutritionist! I know starting next week the workouts are going to get a lot tougher so I hope I can keep up!!!
Okay enough procrastinating, I need to get back to work, if i can stay awake. I am even drinking a red bull which I don't like and they were out of the sugar free kind so it is extra calories, I am going to have to cut out from dinner!
Oh and I can feel AF coming on (finally, with the working out and running out of the BCP, I am about a week late) so that isn't going to help my energy level!
