the biz is 16 months!










































































































Sorry I've been so bad about posting pictures! Our computer is not working, so I'm doing some posting at work and it is amazing how fast and easy it is! Anyway here are a few pics from the last months. I can't believe iz is 16 months! She just had her dr. check up and is doing great. She is 25+ pounds and 32+ inches long. She is saying so many words and imitaing us too. It is so fun to see her personality coming out. She loves outside, going to the park, swinging and going down the slide. She is climbing onto everything! She loves to play with her babies and pretend to feed them, change diapers, put them to sleep- "nite nite" she says. She is sleeping through the nite (thank the Lord!) and takes one good nap a day (usually). She is independent and social and likes to be around other kids and people. She loves being with our friends and has 2 good friends, Aaron (who she calls Anna, his mom's name) and Tyler (who she calls ty ty) -our nanny share family's little boy. She started saying 2 words together (go outside, bye daddy), still loves olives (especially eating them off her fingers), and washclothes in her bath. We are getting very excited for our new baby, and trust that everything will continue to go well with the pregnancy. Iz has learned that there is a baby in my tummy, but I think the concept is still foreign (which makes total sense!). We are really looking forward to the holidays and more fun with the biz! Love to all our friends and family!









clothes from vicki
















Thank you vicki for the amazing box of clothes for iz. We opened it together and she said "wow"! to each thing, and literaly would pick each one up by the hanger and take it back and forth to us saying "wow" for about 10 minutes after too! You keep her so well dressed, we are so greatful. Thank you!!

helping around the house




Iz is really into "helping" around the house now, helping with dishes and sweeping- I hope it lasts!

coloring




IZ recently got into coloring, likes taking the lids off the pens almost as much as the coloring itself, lol.

record player




We cleaned out our office at work so I got to bring home an old record player that Graham actually had as a kid. He loves showing izzy how it works and she loves "dancing" to the music. My favorite records - Mary Poppins and White Christmas, of course I still remember all the words to the songs!

Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween from the Ayres-Wilhelm clan! Iz got to borrow a dog costume from our nanny share family and friends and she wore it to our neighborhood party at the park. She didn't enjoy the ears so that's why I only snapped one pick with them on, lol. She loved handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, too bad we only got a handful of them. She would take a piece of candy from the bowl and say "knock knock" as she looked to the door. It was too cute! Or course there was candy to be eaten too. Next year we are hoping for our first trick-or-treating adventure. I've never been so I think it will be fun for both of us. We are so happy the holidays are here, and hope everyone is enjoying fall! Love from the biz!
