"I finally got this darn shoe off! She never makes me wear shoes and now she decides to put them on me for these pictures and when we go visiting this afternoon."Yesterday didn't end as such a Happy 4th....we had the darndest time trying to get her down to sleep. Since was the 4th, there were people out there shooting off bottle rockets & fireworks. Ok - I first got her down to sleep @ 7:00, but a half hour later a neighbor starts shoots off a bunch f bottle rockets. She wakes up. This cycle continues for 2 hours, with all of us getting more & more tired and more & more crabby.
Today, we are going to go visit Rebecca & David & their kids (& other guests they invited). They are having a chimichanga feast this evening. Sounds yummy.
She woke up a little early today ( 5:30, rather than 6am) and was in a really good mood. Hopefully that continues throughout the day. Mom is definitly going to need a nap today!
This routine thing is working well for us. I think it helps both mom & Isabel to know they are doing the same things in the same order at roughly the same time every day.
In the morning, when I nurse her back to sleep for her first nap, we listen to Shaina Noll's CD, Songs for the Inner Child. Mom sings the first 2 songs to her, "How Could Anyone" & "It's a Joy to Get to Know You" and usually she falls asleep nursing by the time I finish the 2nd song. It's a very nice, calming CD. Mom found out about it when she was taking her Meditation Class @ St. Mary's University.

Forgot to give the fashion rundown here:
Dress by Tommy Hilfiger, bought by mommy
Basic white tights, nothing special - but she is starting to fill them out now. At 3 weeks they were so loose.
Shoes by Circo, present from mommy's friend Jessi
OMG she's getting soooooooooo much cuter! I like the high five pose. LOL
Thanks. She's been in good spirits all day. Let's home it continues into the night.
