July 2012 pictures

So many pictures to choose from! So many blurry pictures of a kitten that just wouldnt stay still. And hates cameras. Like a new mom, I had to have a picture of everything. Too bad we coulnt ever recreate any of the pictures so we could get a sense of scale of her growing.

Jamie made an origami samurai hat and we put it on Islay while she slept. She was a bit confused when she woke up.

She doesnt really cuddle with us like this much anymore. We hope its a teenager phase.

She fit in a small size shoebox. So cute. 

Jamie's parents came to visit (staying in a hotel down the block) and even though the weather was cold and rainy we went to the botanical gardens anyway. The nicest parts were indoors - like the butterfly house. 

We bought Islay a stuffed bird to kill - and we thought she'd died of happiness when we gave it to her. She still occasionally "kills" it. She does this hilarious thing where she pretends to walk away from her kill while keeping her foot on it, then she turns around and kills it some more. 

 She fells asleep like this one night on Jamie's legs. We had a hard time staying still we were laughing so hard.

She loves cuddling feet. Still does. Strange cat.
