I say Hi to Grandmom

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!

No more Monkey's climbing on chairs!

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

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

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

My 1st Birthday

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

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

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"

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

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

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.

Happy Easter!

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

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

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

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

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 :)

My First Valentine's Day

Jail Bird

I was trying to put Isa to bed, went to check on her and this is what I found...so funny!

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

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!

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

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

Little Isa Learns to Clap!

Almost 8 months and little Chabb's is starting to clap and crawl!



Asleep in the Jumper....



Shes got the looks that kill.....

Here I am playing with Little Bunny Fufu. Aunt Sue, Uncle Gerry, Mikey and Melissa got me this for xmas. I love it!

First Aquarium Visit

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

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

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.

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