Isabella had a very rare opportunity this past week/weekend. She got to see both sets of grandparents in the same week. She's a very lucky girl. David had a conference in San Antonio Monday and Tuesday of last week, so we flew down on Saturday and left Tuesday afternoon. Isabella had a runny nose for a few days and had been unusually cranky, so I decided to call the Dr. on Saturday morning, a few hours before we left. I had a haircut appointment, so David took her to the Dr. As it turns out, she had an ear infection. This pain-in-the-ass infection is the same one she had 2 months ago. She's on her third round of antibiotics. Hopefully this latest prescription will get rid of it for good. Anyway, we got permission from the Doc to go ahead with our travel plans. We thought for sure the flight would be a nightmare (the pressure in her ears), but much to our delight, she was her normal angelic self. She slept most of the flight and played the rest of it. She never ceases to amaze me.
As it turns out, Isabella's "separation anxiety" is even worse when she's sick. The entire 4 days we were there, she would go to no one but me. Not even David. It was flattering and endearing at first, but just downright annoying by the end. I couldn't even walk to the refrigerator to get her food without her freaking out. Poor Faye couldn't even hold her without her crying until the very last day.
Isabella did enjoy playing with her cousins Aaron and Arianna. She lit up when she saw either one of them. Here are a couple of pictures of her and Arianna:
We ended up having to bump up our fight time because Dallas was expecting an ice storm and we didn't want to be driving in the chaos. While in the gate area, she flirted with some nice women sitting across from us. She loved the attention. She was perfect on the flight home (slept from take off to landing) and even prompted a gentleman to tell us she was a perfect, quiet baby (which of course we already knew).
We did end up getting the ice, as predicted, but it came later that night. The roads were bad the next day so David worked from home. It's always fun when he does that.
On Thursday evening Isabella and I drove to the airport to pick up her Mimi, Papa, and Aunt Meagan. I'd put her to bed at her normal time and woke her up around 9:45 to head to the airport. She was still sleeping in the car, thankfully, but woke up as I opened the trunk to put their bags in. She didn't fall asleep again until after 1 am and even then didn't stay asleep very long. It was an awful night and none of us slept but maybe 3 hours. We ran errands on Friday morning/afternoon and went to Cafe Amore for dinner (yummy!).
Saturday I bought a new sewing machine (finally) and then we went to the park. Here are some pictures from the park:
After taking everyone to the airport on Sunday, Isabella had fun playing with my keyboard I pulled out from the closet over the weekend. She really got into it:
