Happy Summer!

We spent the last few days in Kansas City for my cousin's wedding. The weather, with the abnormally low humidity, was absolutely PERFECT! It's a good thing considering the wedding and all of its festivities were outside. Isabella had a great time traveling to Kansas City for the first time and was an angel. She got to meet her Great Grandma Betty for the first time as well catch up with some familiar faces who were dying to see her again. All in all she had a great trip. Evidence is below...

Father's Day

Sunday was Father's Day and I got a great gift from Isabella and Mom. They got me a digital picture frame for my office so I can watch her grow and brag about her while I am busy at work. Isabella went out for her first dinner with us. They took me to Texas de Brazil and she was an absolute angel. Another baby started crying about 1/3 of the way through dinner and I thought it was going to be baby's talking back and forth in code but she didn't take the young man's bait. We were both so very proud of her. Completely unrelated...

Isabella was introduced to the play mat at Grammy's house and really loved it so she had to have one to play with in her own house. She really likes it and has lots of new friends to play with as a result. She really loves the monkey but none of that is evident in the video below. But she does eloquently verbalize her feelings in some language that I can't quite decipher...but I am getting better at it! Videos and pictures below...

Visit to San Antonio

Isabella took a car ride longer than 5 miles for the first time in her life last weekend. We went to San Antonio for Arianna's naming and she was an absolute joy to travel with. When we got there I informed Marisa that I stopped 5 fewer times with a 2 month old baby than when Marisa was pregnant...thankfully that is over with! Isabella was excited to see some new surroundings and meet her cousins for the first time. They all had a great time together! Other than some sleeping issues she was a complete angel the entire trip. Attached are the pictures and some videos.

happy, clean Isabella

Tonight was bath night for Isabella. She absolutely loves them. In fact, she was so happy afterwards I had to record a few seconds of it. I would've had photos to go along with the video, but I'm an idiot and deleted them off of the camera thinking they had downloaded to iPhoto. Ooops. They were fantastic too. Lesson learned I guess.

Isabella's 2 Month Appointment

It's hard to believe 8 weeks have passed. Time really does fly when you're having fun! Isabella had her 8 week/2 month appt. today and here's what we learned:

1. She is now a whopping 9 lbs. 10 oz.
2. She is 21 3/4 inches long.
3. She is teething (getting her bottom 2 teeth).
4. She hates shots, but recovers quickly.
5. She can get her ears pierced at her 9 month appointment.
6. Her head measures in only the 10th percentile, so David refers to her as a reverse bobble-head doll...

She had her first 5 immunizations today (4 shots, 1 oral). Let us tell you, we have never heard her scream so loud...but as soon as they were done, she was quiet as a mouse. We were so proud of her. All things considered she did a phenomenal job.

Here are a few post-appointment pictures (as well as a few taken over the weekend. Yes, she does own more than the one pink outfit, it just so happens that's what she wore last Thursday as well). Enjoy!
