Fast Forward



Age progression -- 1...2...3...4 months.

Jelly Belly...the beginning


Jelly Belly...that's the affectionate nickname I would sing to little Isabel during those first weeks after she was born. "Isabellie, Isabellie...you're my jelly belly." Over and over. It's no wonder that she slept so good...she'd do anything to get mama to stop singing another verse of that "song". While I've made up some newer songs and sung a few of the tried and true (i.e. varying melodies of Twinkle, Twinkle), the sleep-inducing Jelly Belly lyrics are a classical favorite.
