Isabelle Bentley

Jack broke my phone so this is the only picture I have of today - taken from an older phone. Not bad!

UTV ride with grnamda & grandpa.  She gnawed on watermelon.

Such a happy girl. Practicing sitting with grandma. She ate 75% of this can! She fell asleep on the utv ride.

The kids & I headed to NY to visit grandma & grandpa Fuchs. 

We went to a splash park with Aunt Amanda, Mackenzie and grandma Bentley.

We went to a friend bbq today. Also took the kids to Davis farmland. She slept pretty much the entire time.  We also stopped by Grandma & Grandpa Bentley's.

Look at this happy girl!

<3

Izzie enjoyed a boat ride with grandpa Fuchs.

My dad came to visit. Two years ago today is on the left. Toady is on the right.  Look how happy Izzie is. 

Last day of school & first day of summer!

Happy Father's day, Dad! Happy girl. Izzie had a great first Father's Day. We went to Wright's chicken farm and to see Grandpa Bentley.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Getting stronger every day.

Twins! Love her pony tail!

At a birthday party!

Izzie's first union action - sitting outside negotiations! 

:)

We went to see grandma & grandpa Bentley as well as Aunt Amanda and Mackenzie.  What a happy little peanut.

What a nugget. Super unimpressed with the swings. First time! Kisses.

This pudge weighs 11 lbs! They tested her thyroid - it came back normal.  We also saw the geneticist who asked some questions. I'm not really sure why we see her. LOL. Here's Izzie and her toys.  I started recreated this pic of Jack from June 10, 2014 so I figured I would continue it with her.   Cute.

Not impressed.  She saw her ENT for the first time. So good news, bad news. Her ear canals are wider than most kids with DS which is good. It means she is unlikely to have hearing issues and unlikely to have fluid issues or ear infections. Her tonsils and adenoids and nasal passage ways are very small though which is why she always has sounded stuffed up and always will sound stuffed. It is extremely likely that she will need to have both her tonsils and adenoids removed by her 2nd birthday. They like to do them both together around 2 but if there are issues that hurt her breathing they do one around 1 and one around 2. 

Snoozing.

Happy 7 months!! She's starting to roll on her tummy from her back. I've never seen it but Scott's parents have. I have NO doubt that she can do it but I think she just doesn't like the feeling of falling because she'll get like 90% of the way there and chicken out. She lies on her side a lot too. 

This peanut <3 She is getting MUCH better at sitting up (with support). And her head can stay up MUCH longer and is straighter. 

Dad time!

Izzie's first time on the boat. She slept almost the entire time.

The kiddos went to grandma & grandpa Bentley's for a few hours so Scott & I could go to 2016 graduation. Then they came with us to the "after party".
