Little Scholar

Isabella read her first book today, yes she is a genius. With a mom who's a teacher what do you expect. She was tired after reading and actually took a morning nap.

Baby Shower for Daniel

On Sunday Isabella and I went to a baby shower for Daniel, born March 15 to our friends Andrew and Lisa. Here is a photo of Daniel. There were many little babies there and Daniel was the last of the 5 winter babies to be born.

Whose your daddy/mommy?

I was going through some old photos and found some baby photos of Tony and I. Compare if you will.

Prenatal class baby reunion

On Thursday, April 22nd we went to our prenatal class' baby reunion. It was hosted by a couple from our class. 6 of the 10 couples were there with their babies. There were 3 boys and 3 girls. Isabella is the second oldest. Sophia, sitting on the left, is the oldest. We lined all the babies up to get a photo of them all. Isabella was not at all bothered by all the commotion around her. She's so chill.

Library and Immunizations

Yesterday Isabella, Owen, Julie and I attended the Baby Time Program at the Library. We spent the morning singing baby rhymes (to which I know no lyrics) and hearing three stories read. Isabella slept through the entire thing. Her and Owen were the youngest at 7 and 10 weeks old. There were about 30 babies and moms there. We're looking forward to doing it again next week.

Isabella also got her first immunizations yesterday. Tony and I were prepared for the worst, but overall everything went well. She cried when she got the needle in her thigh, but that was expected. She was fussy on the car ride home, but the shot did not affect her night routine at all. This morning when she woke at 6am she greeted Tony and I with a big smile and giggles. I guess I gave myself an ulcer for nothing. Here's a picture of Isabella smiling for Tony shortly after the needle.

Canada's next top baby model

Since Isabella doesn't really sleep during the day, I find ways to keep us entertained. Sometimes we have fashion shows. I like to put her in different outfits to see what still fits, and what she still needs to grow into. She has lots of clothes, but when at home she just wears sleepers. She can usually get through 3 wardrobe changes before she has meltdown. Here are some photos of some fashion shows, meltdowns included.

Playdate

Yesterday Isabella had a playdate with Aaron, Karen and Rich's little boy. He was born January 7th so Isabella and he are about 1 month apart. Aaron is quite a ladies man and was not too shy to put the moves on Isabella (note the hand holding). Isabella played coy, or maybe she was too hungry at the time to focus on the wooing.
