Grandparent's February Visit

It is a running joke that Jeff's parents are going to come out once a month now from Ohio to visit Isabella. They made the trip in Dec, Jan, and now most recently Feb 28-March 2. They brought Jeff's Grandma Jeanne with them to meet Isabella. Once again, it was wonderful to have them here, it allowed me to meet friends for lunch on Friday, go to Trivia Night on Friday night, and then go to Melanie's baby shower on Sat.

Isabella has taken to getting a really good nap once a day in her car seat. I used to get this nap accomplished while I would go out to the mall, run errands or walk at the North Liberty rec center. Then I realized I didn't actually have to leave the house for her to get her good nap, I could just put her in her carseat, walk her around the house, and then set her down and have a couple of hours to get things done. (I feel a little bad sticking her in her carseat, but whatever works at this point, plus I read it helps to clear up congestion if they took a nap in their carseat and Izzie had been congested all week) So, I told Grandma and Grandpa that if she was tired/cranky and not taking a nap they could put her in her carseat. When I got home, I thought it was cute that Grandma was actually holding the carseat in her lap while Izzie napped.



On Monday, when it was just Isabella and me, she wasn't quite as content sitting in her bouncy seat or under the lighted piano. She seemed cranky unless there was a bouncing Tigger in front of her at all times.... gee I wonder why....
