I can tell secret

I love showing off when mommies friends come to visit. What a great day! It usually means pizza night too :p

My visit with Santa in 2009

2010-01-26T20:35:00.000-08:00

This year was basically my first Christmas. For weeks mom has mentioned Santa but I had no clue what she was talking about. Threatening me that Santa wasn't going to come was not going to work because I had no clue who this man was. Until this day! Mommy and Daddy took me to see this big fat guy wearing a suit. I didn't care and like I said didn't understand until after I received his gifts on Christmas morning. This was scary and next year I will be more prepared.

My first plane ride

2010-01-26T20:32:00.000-08:00

Every year we travel to Nona and Pops Florida house to enjoy some warm weather in the winter months. Yes, what southern people call "snowbirds". That's us! We'll this year I am 20 months and do not enjoy small confined places. I bit my dad out of frustration and just wanted off this plane. Hopefully our next ride will be quicker and more fun! After this, I don't think mom will be flying with me for a while :/ I'm a vacation ruiner...

Frosty Bucci

2010-01-26T20:28:00.001-08:00

I'm with my dad when it comes to loving the warm weather. I would rather it be hot all year around where my mom is just the opposite. She loves the cold, big sweaters and snow. She LOVES the snow. She says what are the winter holidays without cold weather and snow? She bundled me up like Randy from the movie The Christmas Story and took me out to make a snowman. I'm 19 months old. Of course I don't have any say in this event!!! I can't wait to have a voice because when I do, I will be sitting in doors near the fireplace. Great memories!

Run and walk through the Cherry Hill Mall

2010-01-26T20:28:00.000-08:00

Mommy, Aunt Ry Ry and Aunt Erin often take little Ry, Lincoln and I to the mall, especially in the winter months. Here I am with my two friends running away from mom because she wants to attach me to the leash again. Ugh! "sigh" I can't turn 16 soon enough!

My First Pet!

2010-01-26T20:18:00.000-08:00

Both of my parents have to much time on their hands to take care of a pet. I honestly think it has nothing to do with that and think their just not animal people but whatever. Maybe they will be more honest with me when I get older. Today mommy and daddy broke down and bought me a fish....it was the least they could do. I'm a huge animal lover and hopefully one day I can talk them into getting me a puppy. A fish will do for now :/ Welcome to the family, Stewie Bucci!

My first trip to NYC

2010-01-26T20:15:00.000-08:00

WOW! This was my first time to NYC and all I have to say is thank goodness I only live a hour and a half away! What a amazing city! Mommy said that we are going to make this trip a annual thing with us visiting FAO and making me a Barbie doll every year. So much fun!

Bucci Version of the ABC's

2010-01-26T20:13:00.000-08:00

My parents will obviously do anything to help me learn my ABC's. Ohhh boy, "sigh" there's so much talent in my family!

Happy Halloween 2009!

2010-01-26T20:07:00.000-08:00

This is my daddy's favorite holiday and I completely understand why! It's freezing here in Philadelphia this time of year but who cares when your filling up a bag full of candy! Happy Halloween!

I say Hi to Grandmom

2009-10-29T06:53:00.000-07:00

Now, I know this post says October but this video is from August...I'm a little late with this one. I was talking to my Grandmom and said Hi, clearly, for the first time. Do I still say hi? No..but I like to keep mommy and daddy on their toes. I can't spill all my great great talents at once. Plus, if I started talking clearly like I can at 15 months, they might think I'm a freak! It's our secret :p

I learned how to use a spoon...so fun!

2009-10-22T14:15:00.000-07:00

Now I know why old people eat with spoons. It's easier to get more food with each scoop! I love spoons...keep it coming mom! I love growing up :)

No more Monkey's climbing on chairs!

2009-10-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

I know, I know! Mom is constantly telling me how dangerous it is to climb on chairs but I have to learn to sit in a big girl chair someday.....and today is the day! Waaaahhh! Funny laugh! :P

First step to a great swimmer

2009-08-04T10:14:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I was up in Central PA visiting my Grandmom, Aunt AnnMarie and Uncle Marty. In my Aunt and Uncle's pool mom was teaching me how to blow bubble's in the water instead of swallowing it. I still am trying to figure it out but I will get better in time. :)

Fake Laugher

2009-07-13T13:08:00.000-07:00

Today I'm happy. I think I know what I want to be when I'm older....a Actress!

My 1st Birthday

2009-07-05T18:15:00.000-07:00

What a amazing day! My parents say it was a very quick year and I'm going to have to agree. I remember the days where I was just chillin in my moms belly, growing from a little pea to the size of a watermelon. Now I'm walking around trying to speak words and sentences and really getting the life as a toddler thing down. So, any of you who know me, know that I love Elmo. My favorite song is La La La Elmo Song. I have a CD with Elmo singing my name, I have my own Elmo doll that my Grandmom bought for me and my dad plays Elmo on his iphone for me pretty much every day. He really know's how to put a smile on my face. To top it off with my Elmo obsession, my mom made me a Elmo cake from scratch for my 1st Birthday. I was shocked! I couldn't believe I had a edible Elmo sitting right in front of me. AND I was allowed to eat him...talking about obsessed. Ok, I'm not psycho but what 1 year old do you know that wouldn't love to eat a huge sugar cake of your favorite Sesame Street character? None if their telling you the truth. ha

Eye's, nose and mouth

2009-07-05T17:59:00.000-07:00

I'm such a morning person. Mom really knows how to get my mind working when it fresh. At 11 months I know where moms eye's, nose and mouth is...check it out!

Walking on my own

2009-07-05T17:48:00.000-07:00

I have 3 weeks until my first birthday and I decided to take a couple of steps to show off while my parents have company over. What!?!? You know I always like a crowd...I'm just like my rents :p

Me as a "young old lady"

2009-07-05T17:29:00.000-07:00

By me as a "young old lady" I mean I am using a walker you. Hey, every kid has to start somewhere. I am not walking on my own but with a little help, at 10 months I'll get there.

My First Phillies Game

2009-05-24T18:22:00.000-07:00

Now I know why Philadelphia fans are so crazy...the sporting events are great! I loved going to a game with my mom and dad. I even had a chance to take a picture with the World Series Trophy.

My dad ships so much with UPS they game him two tickets to the game for my mom, dad and of course I get in free (children under 2). I had so much fun and can't wait to go again. My mom said only if were in the suites though because babies shouldn't be down with the crazy's. Not sure what that means but I know she just wants me out of harms way.

Beach Babies

2009-04-29T16:40:00.000-07:00

It's April and 90 degree's outside so mom and her two mommy friends, Erin and Ryan, decided to take us babies to the beach...and so glad they did! Here I am with my two best friends, Ryan and Lincoln. I love, love, love the beach! Just like my daddy :p

Here I am with my boyfriend Lincoln. Were not fans of this hard sand!

This plastic feels amazing on my gums...the sand not so much!

Lincoln loved the beach. He's such a boy and didn't care the the sand was all over his face. I don't even want that stuff close to my hair!

Waiting for mom to get the beach caddy.

Mom and I on the beach

Happy Easter!

2009-04-28T21:07:00.000-07:00

This was my first real Easter and we spent it in the sunshine state. We came down to the Florida house to relax and give mom and dad a break from the real world. Yes, mom too, Nona and Pop were there to help babysit me to give her a break.

First trip to the Philadelphia Zoo

2009-04-07T07:53:00.000-07:00

What a long day! The zoo, playtime, dinner, Bath..Bedtime! I have to mention this is my first bath with a buddy.

After the zoo the Tredinnick's came over for dinner and Ryan and I played until dinner time.
I love all the animals!
This monkey had the best name ever..Douc Langur. So much better then Isabella. hehehe
I love these poster's with no face's. Now my mom can call me a little monkey for a reason!
From the walk from the car to the zoo I had a little accident. The zoo had no matching outfits so I had to wear pink and blue :/ Don't judge me people! hahaha
Here's my family as we enter the zoo. Notice my clothing.....
Were walking to the zoo from the parking lot...enjoying on the scenery...shoe, Pie and pretzel selling on the streets.
Here I am in the Tredinnick's car on the way to the Zoo...I really can't wait!

Visit to daddy's store

2009-04-07T07:46:00.000-07:00

I also decided to try on a couple helmets to see which I like best.

Today Mom and I stopped by to visit daddy for a while. I love the space to crawl around everywhere and get into everything.

1st Birthday party

2009-04-07T07:44:00.000-07:00

Here I am at my second cousin, Reese's 1st birthday party. There were so many other kids and sooo many toys. I could really get use to these!

Babysitting day

2009-04-07T07:38:00.000-07:00

Today Ryan came over to play with me while her mommy Erin had a doctors appointment. We had so much fun and mom was impressed with how well I shared my toys :)

Watch out...I'm on the move! Isa's now crawling

2009-02-08T15:23:00.000-08:00

For a couple of weeks I have been able to go from sitting to all fours and then push ups. Now I know how crawl...take a look!

Snow day!

2009-02-08T15:00:00.000-08:00

Today mom took me to go play in the snow at Three Bears Park. Dad has been telling mom to take me here all summer and we finally went to go play in the snow. So fun!

I felt like Ralphy's little brother Randy from the Christmas Story. I could barely move in this thing mom had me bundled up so much! Ugh! hahaha

Finally something I enjoy, swings! Weee this is fun! This is the first time ever being in a swing and I can not wait until we can come here more often! :)

Isa's first bubble bath....Ruba dub dub

2009-02-08T09:13:00.000-08:00

It's official....I love getting a bath but I love the bubble baths ten times more!

First Aquarium Visit

2009-01-22T10:59:00.000-08:00

Today was my first visit to the Aquarium in Camden, NJ.

I've seen these fish in my books that mom reads me but their even more amazing in person! Wow!

I went with my friends (from Left to Right) Tommy, Lincoln and Ryan. We had so much fun and can't wait to come here again.

Ryan and I couldn't believe how fast they were swimming. We couldn't keep up!

Mom and I even got to play with the sharks. These were baby female sharks. Sooo scary but I was brave :)
Mom and I taking a picture in the window of a fake ship. I'm no dummy! lol

And of course mom had to take one of her goofy pictures. She's the turtle and I'm a shark...I don't bite!

My first vacation to Nona and Pops Florida house

2009-01-14T09:27:00.000-08:00

My first trip to Florida has been amazing. Our first day we relaxed poolside and enjoyed the warm weather.

We cooked out at the house and before bed, mom let me spend some time in the jacuzzi...so much fun! I love the water!

This is me on the beach. Wow, this sand is so much better to walk on than at the Jersey Shore. This beach is amazing!

Mom, Dad and I took a picture while waiting for the sun to set. We were all having so much fun! I love the beach!

Dad was putting his "photographer skills" to the test. This is mom and having fun and enjoying the beautiful sunset.

Dad liked his picture so much that he made mom take one with him too. Our vacation was amazing and cannot wait to come back again soon! Thanks Nona and Pop!

My first Christmas

2009-01-14T08:40:00.000-08:00

This is my first visit with Santa. I was so happy and couldn't wait to tell him what I wanted for Christmas my first year. Everyone was wondering if I would cry when meeting him, I don't understand what the big deal is..he's just a fat guy in a red suit with a beard. As long as he brings me presents I'll smile every year!

This is our Christmas card for 08. I would not cooperate with a smile but I thought this turned out pretty well. Everyone else liked it!

Daddy's partner's, Matt and Nick, bought me my first Christmas gift this year. Their wrapping was very impressive and no offense guys but I loved this paper stuff the best!

Mom and dad sure know how to make the holidays a adventure. We went and got our Christmas tree and this is dad attempting not to hurt himself. Mom insisted on getting a huge tree and got her wish. This tree is 14ft tall!

After dad was successful with putting up our tree we all had a celebration dance. If you know my parents you will agree that I have a long life of embarrassment ahead of me :/

After goofing around, mom and I put all the decorations on the tree. Well, mom did all the work but I loved playing with the ornaments until she was done.
Me making a cute face while posing with my first Santa hat.

Enjoying my first Christmas morning with Uncle Carmen and my daddy.

Christmas Time Fun

2008-12-26T21:29:00.000-08:00

Christmas is fun and I don't even know santa yet!

On the plane to post Christmas Vaca'

christmas morning gift opening fiasco...

Hello?! I said Skin Milk!!!

2008-11-16T15:48:00.000-08:00

Every morning dad makes a cup of coffee for himself, hot chocolate for mom and a bottle for me. I decided to try some of dads coffee and he is still a barista in training. Hopefully he will make it to "Coffee Master" someday.

In the past couple of weeks I have learned how to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider, Paddy Cake, Round bally and a game my mom likes to play with me...So Big! I finally gave in and started to play along

History was made today November 4th, 2008

2008-11-05T14:29:00.000-08:00

A new dawn in US politics as Barack Obama becomes our first African American to win the White House. So many great things are happening this year and this is just another to add.

So many people keep saying they never thought they would see this in their lifetime and I'm so glad to say it has happen in mine. This just shows and provides dramatic proof to the world of the American ideal of opportunity for all. Who knows maybe I will be the first female president! :)

The Phillies Won the World Series

2008-10-31T18:03:00.000-07:00

This is mom and I at the Phillies World Series Parade downtown on Broad Street. I think we have started a trend. My mom was born in 1980, the Phillies won the World Series that year. I was born this year in 08, Phillies won the World Series. I'm thinking when I have my first they will win again! I'm hoping it's before then though because I don't see children in my future anytime soon...I'm talking at least 30 years!
I'm thinking Red is just not my color. I obviously look like a boy because everyone kept asking "How old is he?"

Yesterday my mom and I went to Target to get the Rainforest Jumper that all my other baby friends have. It's about time...this thing is awesome!

3.2.1 lift off!

2008-10-31T17:42:00.000-07:00

Yesterday mom and I went to Target to get me a jumper. This could be the coolest toy I have yet!

My First Raspberry

2008-10-23T17:46:00.000-07:00

Tonight dad came home and made a raspberry at me so I made one right back! Mom and dad were so excited they ran and got the camera.

Its just air mixed with drool.. are they really that excited? I guess when you're old it doesn't take much. :-)

What is this cold Weather?

2008-10-20T10:15:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of mom and I at the Reading Terminal Harvest Festival. We went on a hay ride, at lunch, looked at scarecrows and even watched a pie eating contest. I'm a really good eater but definitely couldn't eat a whole pie!

We live in the Old City, it's the farthest East part of Philadelphia. Mom and her other mommy friends decided to walk nine blocks to get to this Harvest festivity...for her it was nothing for me I felt like I was at the age of two already. What was she thinking!?! I have never felt this cold of weather before and am not looking forward to winter. I think I'm on dads side when he says he loves the hot weather all of the time, even though I enjoyed the day with mom, I was freezing my mittens off.

5 months

2008-10-14T09:59:00.001-07:00

This month mom switched Pediatricians. Instead of going to Society Hill Pediatrics, I am now going to see Doc Tara Berman at Nemours Children's Clinic. She was recommended to Dad by one of his friends. I really like her. She scheduled me to come in even when she wasn't working. She wanted to catch up on where I was and if I'm on the right track...which I am of course.
I now am 24 1/2 inches long and weight 14 1/2 lbs.

This week has been a rough one for mom and dad. My teeth hurt really bad and I haven't been able to sleep through the night. I am now waking up every 2 to 3 hours. Dad has been getting me in the early morning so mom can get some sleep and then mom wakes up with me later in the morning so daddy can sleep. I'm sorry but these things called Teeth really hurt!

Not the best picture of me but this is my first meal of solid foods. Boy is this stuff good! Mommy called the Pediatrician because I was gulping down 8oz bottles every 2 to 3 hrs. The peds said...Umm yea...she needs to start solid and wants more to eat.

Happy Halloween! You would think that after getting a great shot like this mom would stop playing dress up but no.....she had a to try a couple of different horrible outfits...take a look below

Of course I do love Mummy :) but I am not a aspiring model Mom!

I think she finally got the hint after the third outfit. I was screaming my head off and I hate make-up and head bands!

My cousin Reese let me play in her jumper after she was done. What a blast! I want one mom!!!

Mom took me to Franklin Square today to paint my own pumpkin. It was fun. I think it was more fun to her because I couldn't even hold the paint stick thingy and had no clue which colors were which. The finishing product was pretty interesting...since my Nona is such a great artist we decided not to embarrass ourselves and post it on here. Use your imagination :p

This is me on my way to spend the night for the first time at Nona and Pops without mom and dad. I tried to be on my best behavior because I know that I'm going to want to spend a lot of time here growing up. C'mon...who doesn't like to be spoiled!

Four Months Old

2008-10-14T09:24:00.000-07:00

I am older, stronger and wiser. I can completely hold up my head and reach for things with both hands. After my Pediatrician appointment this month I am now 23 1/2 inches long and 13 1/2 pounds. Moms feeding me well!

Dads birthday was this month, he turned 28! Man is he old! Mom and I planned a small surprise for him and had a couple of his friends and Nona and Pop over to celebrate. Mom and I went and bought Pirate hats, gold coins, maps and even eye patches. Even though there were only a few people, we had a blast!

I heard Dad for weeks telling mom all he wanted for his birthday was this Cookie Puss cake. Mom kept saying he was silly and they don't make that anymore. She just wanted to surprise him of course :) I can see why dad wanted it so bad...It was awesome! I can't wait until I'm old enough to get one of those for my birthday!

Here dad caught me taking a nap in between play time. If you saw some of the toys I have and how busy they are you would get tired too!

Daytime Fun

2008-09-04T21:51:00.001-07:00

Little chicken learning to use her hands...

Yep, it's been three months

2008-08-30T23:02:00.000-07:00

One of the most important things in my life happened on the 10th of this month, I received my first sacrament, Baptism. Father Jim at St. Augustine church in Philadelphia baptized me. Aunt Lora is my Godmother and Uncle Carmen is my Godfather. Great Grandma Montella stood in for Uncle Carmen who is overseas. Nona and pop brought up the gifts during mass. It was such a special day.

Here is Aunt Lora and I after the baptism. Isn't she so pretty! :)

Great Grandma Montella and Nona bought my Christening outfit. They are so generous and if I could literally say " Thank you so much" I would. Daddy says thank goodness we live in the city. He was afraid to bring me out in this outfit. He said something about the Amish kidnapping me.... whatever that means.

Lately daddy has been teaching me what mommy calls a really bad habit, watching T.V. I don't even know what I'm watching but I do love playing with this remote thingy.

Mommy now has me on a good schedule throughout the week. I wake up at 6am. Play with mommy and daddy and do tummy time at 7am. I take my first nap of the day from 9-10am. Then my afternoon nap from 1-3pm sometimes 4. I am then up until bedtime. Around 7:30 mommy feeds me, reads me a book then puts me to bed at 8. I am really good at sleeping through the night but just in case I get hungry, mommy wakes me up at 11pm to change and feed me then puts me right back to bed.

During the day when mommy needs to get things done around the house I sit in my swing and play with the bears and stars that hang above me.

I am now finally filling out my newborn clothing. I have so many cool clothes that I get compliments on everyday. My favorite outfits are the ones that cover my feetzes.
They keep me so warm at night I feel as snug as a bug.

I had my second appointment with the Pediatrician this month and I am really getting big. I am now 12lbs 6 oz and 23" long.

Two Month update

2008-08-30T18:09:00.000-07:00

I have now been around for two months now and have met pretty much the whole family on both sides. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Now I know where I get my good looks from..ha!

I have learned so much and have met a lot of my mommy and daddy's friends. Everyone is super nice! Everyday I learn something new. As you can see in the picture above, I have also figured out how to smile.

Mommy took me to the beach for the first time and geeze it was hot. Thank goodness mom took off that awful pink tutu bathing suit, I couldn't breath.

I am starting to realize how goofy my mom really is. These poor boys, who hate their job already but at the age they are will do anything to earn money for the arcade, mom stopped while on the boardwalk and made them take a picture with us. Did she really have to take this in the middle of my nap..honestly!

Today mom took me to Aunt Tara's pool. Ohhh was that nice! Just relaxing poolside and enjoying my milk in the shade.

I'm really starting to get good at holding my head up. Mommy does this thing she calls tummy time every morning after I wake up (hence why I look haggard). I hated it at first but it is pretty nice to be able to hold my head up on my own.

I'm New Here.

2008-06-04T18:38:00.000-07:00

Hi. My name is Isabella and I am new here. This is my first time on this thing.. its pretty cool. I am still hunting for a better template so bear with me.

I was born last Saturday night and I just came home Monday night from the hospital. My mom says that I have my Dad's skin, hair and mouth and her eyes and nose. Everyone else keeps saying "thank god", but I'm not sure what they mean.

This is my mom, isn't she beautiful? I'm 2-days old here, but I'm not saying that on the record.. a lady never reveals her true age.

Its been a big few days for me. I have met all the family and some of the friends. Everyone was really nice. There was this one kid who kept giggling.. Dad called him Bok Choi and kept arguing with mom about something to do with my godparents. I don;t know what that is all about, but I told dad not to worry, I'm not into dating older men.

I took my first ride in my carseat and then dad's really loud car. He was lucky I liked it and fell right to sleep or else I would have gotten cranky. You should see how good I am getting at the whole cranky thing. Dad scored extra points for the Monkey mirror, although the neon green and orange monkey isn't the best compliment to crimson leather, I must say.

Its been about 48 hours since I got home and I sleep a lot... but only when its light out. I get bored and super hungry when mom and dad turn the lights out so I make sure to keep them up to hang out with me. Its awesome, but man they are starting to look haggard during the day - but I don't care - remember thats when I sleep!

Dad does seem to have this whole Happiest Baby thing down which foils my tantrums. Here is a pic of him putting it to use. Curses! I can't resist it.

I also eat a lot. Like every three hours. All this dairy gives me lots of gas and poop... and all my plumbing seems to work fine because as of today I am killing the rainforests one poopy diaper at a time. Not the most socially concious thing I have done in the last 4 days, but hey, nobodys perfect.

Me and Dad do a lot of thinking.

I'll admit it - My umbilical cord could be the nastiest thing of all time. Its like a little black sour-patch kid trying to escape from my belly. Please fall off. Please. Yuck.

My first doctors appointment is tomorrow morning and they better not poke me with any more needles or I'll get even.

I am getting pretty good at picking up my head for a 4-day old and you should hear my stinkers and burps. Seriously hardcore. I could do without the frequent hiccups though.

I am still annoyed that someone at the hospital stole my stuffed lamb out of my crib during the second night. I'm not joking, I am seriously pissed. Its ok though I'm on it, I'll get her back. I heard the whole "milk carton thing" is a good start.

Also everyone keeps telling me how pretty I am but I am trying not to let it go to my head.

Not really worried about anything right now, except for mom getting back up to speed and dad's business continuing to grow. I have just about everything I need, and my closet full of clothes is awesome.

Lastly, based on what I have seen - Hillary needs to just go away - but that's only my two cents.

You can see my new pictures on my flickr account.
