Just Hanging Out

Dad says I looks like I am the chiquita banana lady is this Gymboree outfit. Mom thinks I look cute. It's halter dress with a matching diaper cover, but we didn't get any pictures take of the back, which is very cute. Bare back baby & all!

Here Isabel is just hanging out on the floor on a blanket @ Grandma & Grandpa S's house. We made it there. The trip went relatively smoothly and only took us an extra 45 minutes. So, it was 6 hours, rather than 5.25 hours. We only had to stop twice for nuring & changing. Both on the way there & back. The trip on the way back took a little bit longer, as we stopped at daddy's work so that he could show her off. Some people just go gaga over babies.

Playing with Dad

Dad & Isabel are hanging out in the "family" bedroom. Right now we are the only one with a baby, so we get the big room with the crib in it. If Auntie Phanie & Uncle J have a baby we might get kicked out of there once Isabel gets older, but they don't have plans to have a baby until after she would no longer be in a crib anyways.

Dad kept making Isabel giggle & smile. She likes playing with him. He makes such funny noises.

Getting to Know Grandma S.

Here is Isabel with Grandma S. Isabel got in a alot of holding time with Grandma S. Grandma S. seemed particularly fond of taking her when she was crying and then within minutes she had her not just calm, but sleeping. She tried getting her to take a pacifier (we brought 2 of the 4 kinds we have along), but Isabel just doesn't like taking a pacifier really.

This was Sunday and we went to the church picnic "Summerfest" and had lunch, played this card game (dad was luckier than mom) and got to meet a bunch of other family like great grandma & great grandpa S., some second cousins & other great aunts & uncles, and her great-great aunt Mary and a bunch of other people mom knew growing up.

Being Held by Grandpa S.

This was the second morning and by time Grandpa S. got to her her this morning she was ready to be put down for her first morning nap, so she was a little cranky (but not too bad, but we just couldn't get her to smile for the camera).

Grandpa S. wasn't sure about holding such a little one, but he did a great job, but he's looking forward to when she can walk & play more.
