Things we love about Izzy

These are my attempt at 1 week photos.  Not too bad!!  :)  (If she looks concerned that she's in the basket, she was.  We only got a few pictures before she decided she was done in the basket.)

There are lots of things we already love about Izzy... most of them apparent from right when she was born.

• her LOOOONG monkey arms
• her skinny little body - she only has chubby cheeks, everywhere else is skinny
• her teeny, tiny nose - smaller than Em's even and might be as tiny as mine when I was born (people used to ask my parents if I could breath out of it!)
• all of her dark hair!! - can't wait to see what color it ends up!
• she loves to be snuggled - my 1st snuggly newborn!!
• she is my sleepiest newborn by far - maybe she won't quit napping before she's two!
  
• she has great smiles and equally great scowls
• how much she looks like Emery and I's newborn pics - I've actually called her Emery several times because the resemblance is so strong - it's like rewinding 4 1/2 years
• how Van calls her "Tiny Izzy" - so cute
• how Emery would hold and kiss her all day every day
• she makes our other kids, especially Van, seem HUGE!!! 
• even though she isn't a super tiny baby, she's so petite that people's first reaction is always "she's so tiny!  how much did she weigh?"  when I say 7lb 6oz they say "oh? that isn't very small!"  i think we just forget how small they are!!
• she turned us into a family of 5!  we love that our family is growing and we are so happy she's here!
