9 month report

Izzybellywellity is so much fun right now! I wish I could freeze her. The months just go by too quickly. At 9 months she got her first tooth, is only waking up one time at night now, adores her siblings, walks every where, loves to eat, squeals like her big sisters, loves baby dolls, and loves to be outside, loves getting kisses on her cheek, waves bye bye, pretends to talk on the phone by putting her hand to her ear

6 months

   We sure love our Bizzy Izzy Wizzy! She has the sweetest eyes that can just melt your heart! I have been trying to keep her little for as long as possible, but she does not like my plan. I didn't even try to teach her to sit up or anything because the first few months are so short and so precious and I wanted to treasure every moment of her newborn-ness. But the day she turned six months she decided to start crawling like a pro and then just a few days later she was crawling and decided to sit up on her own. No!! Then, a few days after that she pulled herself up on the couch. Stay little forever please sweet Izzy and stop growing!
  Isabelle loves to eat. She is propbably my best baby food eater. She will eat anything she can get her hands on. She likes to hang out with the big kids and get all the attention. She is adored by her siblings and we can't get enough of her!
   Izzy weighs 14 pounds and is in the 95th percentile in height.

2 Years Old

   Noah Grant Ingersoll is 2!! This boy is amazing! Can't put in to words the utter joy he brings to all of our lives. Noah is so happy, fun loving, goofy, smart, and lovable. Everywhere we go people tell me how adorable he is. He is a real charmer and wins over the hearts of all who meet him. Noah's favorite foods are blueberries, applesauce, and chicken nuggets. He LOVES trucks, cars, and tractors. He is a great communicator and is a chatter box just like his older brother. He LOVES to be outside, read books, take a bath, ride his wiggle car, go to the park, jump on the trampoline, give hugs and kisses, and make people laugh. He has the funniest little run. He tucks one arm in like a chicken wing and swings the other arm really hard when he runs. It makes me laugh. Some of my favorite things he says are "more again", "just a little bit, mom?", and "petty pease mom" while he bats his eyes. I have a hard time saying no to him!
 
  Noah is also sadly really accident prone. He gets hurt all the time. :( Like falling down the stairs twice, running into walls, and getting dumped out of the wagon twice and cutting the same spot on his forehead open. The  craziest of accidents happened while shopping at Sams Club. He was happily walking down the aisle and a HUGE 200 pound box fell over on top of him! It was so sad!! We took him to urgent care after because he was limping pretty bad. But nothing showed up in the x-ray.
 
  He is also in to EVERYTHING. He is like a tornado. I will be cleaning up one mess just to turn around and find another mess. Her is a list of messes from one particularly bad 48 hour: marker mural on the back of the couch, whole bottle of glue dumped on the carpet, nail polish "eye make-up" and spilled on wood floor, poop on the carpet, smooshed banana on the rug, bottle of essential oil dumped out, played with clogged toilet water and got it all over, ate the top off of my EOS lip balm, burned thumb on stove, painted the toilet seat with bathtub paint (which apparently stains????), rainbow loom rubber bands thrown all over, oatmeal thrown on the floor, climbed on the island and created a flood, and now he jumped off the couch and is limping around. all in the last 48 hours. 

He weighs 27 pounds (37%) and is 37 inches (89%)

2 Year old boys are just so much fun! 

8 is Great!

    Andrew Jeffrey Ingersoll turned 8! He was so excited to get a suit and be baptized a member of  the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Andrew is an intelligent, happy boy with so much potential. He came to this earth with a really good heart and has been blessed with a testimony at a young age. He has great faith. We are so proud of him and for the choices he is making!
  Andrew is just a good kid. He rarely complains about doing his homework, piano, or chores. He just gets it done. He is such a great helper. He loves to play on the computer. His favorite games are Mine Craft and Animal Jam. He is doing so great in school. His teacher recommended him to the gifted program which is usually for 3rd graders. He still loves Ninjagos and will spend hours putting them together. He is getting really good at the piano too! Andrew makes friends very easily and is liked by his peers. Eight is going to be a Great year for you. We love you Andrew!
