I've Got The Joy

...joy, joy, joy down in my heart
where?
down in my heart.

If you have ever been to vacation bible school then this song is stuck in your head!

I loved this song as a kid because there is a part in the song when you can yell and jump up! Is that not every kid's dream come true?? To be able to yell and jump and not only do your parent not frown at you for doing so, but they smile and clap because you are singing about Jesus.

Well, the part where you jump up is really about the devil sitting on a tack, "ouch!"

I put Isabel on my knee, bounce her up and down and sing this song to her.
















I love how her mouth gets big and wide, her smile is huge! It cracks me up and puts a big smile on my face too.















































It looks like Isabel loves this song and I can't wait for her to sing along with me, yell and jump up as I look on with a big smile and clap because she is singing about Jesus. I might even jump up and yell with her too :-)

For those of you that don't know the song I will get Greg to get a video of me singing this song to Isabel and post it so you can sing along and jump up and down too.

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart (Where?)

Down in my heart (Where?)

Down in my heart

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart (Where?)

Down in my heart to stay

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart (down in my heart)

And I'm so happy

So very happy

I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

And if the Devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack.
OUCH
Sit on a tack.
OUCH
Sit on a tack.
And if the Devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack
Sit on a tack today.

Subsequent lyrics include:

I've got the wonderful love of my Blessed Redeemer way down in the depths of my heart...

I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart...

Blessings to you all.

Finger Lickin' Good

......or sould I say thumb sucking good :-)


Looks like someone found her thumb today.

1st Giggle, Caught on Camera!

I was sitting by the computer this morning, looking at recipes and I heard some giggling going on.
It kind of took me by surprise and when I looked in Isabel's living room crib....well sure enough that was her laughing and giggling!
I ran upstairs to get the camera and made it back in time to get the rest on camera.

I make all kind of noises, gurgles, and faces, to get a laugh but nothing....nada.
oh, I hope she keeps on doing it, as it made me laugh out loud too!

Sweet Baby

I am definitely not a morning person but I have started to become one, as it is always great to wake up to such a smiley sweet baby.

I love talking to her in the mornings, as she is all smiles.


I love her little gummy smiles and will be sad when they are replaced by little teeth.


















Isabel is so sweet and loves to flirt with us. Below she is acting rather flirty and shy.



Pretty darn cute if you ask me :-)

Edible Baby Parts

I don't want to become obnoxious or brag but I think Isabel is a real cutie pie.

Sometimes Isabel is so cute I just want to eat her up! Kind of like she is doing to her little stuffed animal friend here below.



















She has such squishy little body parts and they are just too darn cute not to pass up with tons of kisses. I am always eying those little tootsies and try to have at least 1 toe sandwich a day.



She also has juicy thighs, which have actually gotten bigger and juicer since this video was taken several weeks ago. This little chunky thigh definitely calls for some nibbling.




In this video I think she is a little tired of me telling her that her thigh is chunky and she is telling me 'whatever' with her facial expressions :-)



Isabel is so cute and edible and she even likes to munch on herself.

Here she is enjoying a nibble on her own arm



In the below video, Isabel is enjoying munching on her hands.



And below she is enjoying something....not sure what ...maybe her hands again??

Whatever it is, it has her worked up into a gurgling frenzy in the beginning.
