- Isla is such a funny little character and she's growing so fast, my head could spin! I cannot believe she's already 6 months old!
- She has two new teeth (she got one at 5 1/2 months and the 2nd just 2 days later!),
- She's finally starting to grow hair back in the bald spot she made on the back of her head! She often likes to turn her head to the left, to the right, to the left, to the right and so on until she falls asleep which caused a huge bald spot on the back of her head! So funny!
- Isla began rolling over from her belly to her back right at 5 months of age and still doesn't care to roll from back to belly.
- She's never been much of a 'tummy-time' girl, she actually prefers sitting up (assisted still) and just watching the world around her!
- Isla is a people watcher and loves to go grocery shopping or just out in public, I think she's a future fashionista because she'll often do the elevator eyes and check a person out from head to toe as if she's critiquing their outfit for the day!
- Our sweet doodle pie finds the good ol' game of peek-a-boo to be VERY exciting right now.. she enjoys the quick little fright it puts in her and it makes her giggle. Which this in turn melts my heart so we can go on and on and on doing this game!
- She's currently getting over the stage of blowing spit bubble raspberries with her lips, but sometimes in the middle of the night she will wake up just to do that for a good 10-15 minutes!
- Isla does not sleep through the night, she often wakes anywhere from 2-6 times in a night with the average being 4.
- She's a little miss piggy and loves her milky very much. Isla is in the 97th percentile for weight and 95th percentile for height. She has been in the top brackets since birth!
- Her Daddy and I love her more than life, itself!

Some interesting Isla facts
A Valentine's Day Card for Isla Anne from Momma
To My Sweet Little Valentine Baby:
Isla Anne,
You are the center of my world and the center of my heart so it's pretty simple to say that you're my valentine this year! You and Daddy make me happier than a rainbow on a sunny day! Your smile melts me over and over again, I spend every moment that I'm with you just trying to make you smile or laugh. Right now you are big into mimicking so whenever I laugh, you laugh. I mimic you back with the sounds you make and you get a big kick out of that too! We're quite the team together!
I am so proud of you with every little achievement you make, whether it's your 1/4 turn from your back to your side or if it's a big ol' spit bubble you made that's sitting on your rosy little lips! Your everyday activities and changes make me smile and beam with pride!
I am so thankful and appreciative that you love me! Seeing the warm love in your eyes makes the longest of nights with you worthwhile. You're not a great sleeper, but I still get the greatest joys in seeing you wake up for the day! My favorite time of the day with you is watching you grunt and stretch, wiggle and then slowly open your eyes to see me.. and then the big ol' gummy smile that I love so much!
Isla, you have made this Valentine's Day the best ever! My heart has officially topped off the love scale because of you! Thanks for being the sweet, precious baby that you are! Happy Valentine's Day 2011!
I love you very, very much!
Momma

Isla's trying some foods!!
We're doing BLW (baby-led-weaning or baby-led-solids) with Isla. The basis is we give her solid foods and she feeds herself as much or as little as she wants. We offer her all nutritious foods like fruits and veggies and she has a lot of fun with it. For the first year of a baby's life, their main nutrition should come from breastmilk so anything past that is for fun and learning. And goodness is she doing both!!
Her first food was avocado, then she's had banana, wheat rolls, pickles, broccoli, apple, pineapple, and cantaloupe! So far her favorite was the wheat roll and pickles! Her least was broccoli.
Here are some cute pics with her first food and a couple other foods!
