First Professional Photo Shoot

Isabella had her first professional photos taken yesterday. Boy was that an experience!

She hates being told what to do so when a total stranger says stand here, sit here - without mommy - Isabella wasn't having it!

We got only a few smiles out of her the entire time but the expressions really show her true nature - inquisitive.

Take a look at the proofs...

Welcome new cousin

Isabella has a new cousin.

Keith, Kevin's brother, and wife Tiffany brought Kylie Marie into the world on Thursday, July 13. She weighs 6 lbs. 12 ozs. and is 20 inches long. She has a full head of black curly hair and is adorable! Welcome baby girl!

The Cozy Coup

After the zoo we headed home for nap time but Isabella had too many things on her mind so we visited the Teeple home and played with Nicholas and his fun toys. Besides having so much fun, Isabella also tried her first bite of Strickland's Frozen Custard and boy did she like it!

A Day at the Zoo

Isabella enjoyed her first visit to the Akron Zoo with mom and dad and the Teeple Family. She loved looking at the animals, but she wasn't too sure about the petting zoo! She played on the playground and even rode the train - with mom of course!

A True American Girl

Isabella experienced her first July 4 in America and like her mom and dad did not like the sound of the fireworks. But she did love the potato salad!

"Can I drink from that cup, too?"

"I look so cute in my red, white and Blue - and pink, too!"
"Man burgers rule. Thanks Chris!"

"I can help, too!"

I love my grandpas!

Splish, splash

Isabella loves the water as long as it's not bath time. Kevin taught her how to jump into his arms in the hottub. And we've headed to Julie and Chris's pool to cool off, too. She loves her pool scooter and hanging out with dad in the water!
