Isabel (Izzy)

Not her customary place on the couch, anymore, but she still spends lots of time sleeping on the pillows when not nappy elsewhere or getting into some other sort of trouble. Caught on the kitchen table!!!  Although the look on her face looks like she knows she's been caught, I think it was probably the strange camera's presence that has caused this expression.
In my opinion, this is the cutest of the individual pictures on the page.  Although she may appear to be playing, I think she had actually just woke up from a nap and was in the process of stretching when I took this picture. Here's a look of contentedness...  While Donilee and I are at work, we believe two of her favorite places to snooze is on the couch, in a blanket nest we normally make up for her before leaving, or on our bed.
Izzy received a home-made pillow that my mom made Christmas of 2001.  The sequence of the four pictures, above, show the basic discovery process she first went through when encountering it for the first time.  Sniff, knead, then explore/snoop.
