Fun with Cousin Gus

I wanted to mention the fun Isabella had with her cousin Gus when he was visiting. Yes, there were a few squabbles over toys and Gus has shown us that he really knows the word "Mine!" but overall they had a really fun time together. Every morning when Bella would wake up Gus would smile and say "Bella!" and then he would want to hold her so he would sit on the couch and get to hold Bella for a few minutes. When she wasn't around he would question where she was "Bella? Bella?". If Gus spotted one of her pacifiers laying around he would run and grab it and find Bella and he would show it to her, she would open her mouth and he would pop the pacifier in. At the beginning of the week Isabella was pretty laid back when Gus would take a toy from her, as the week went on and she got more cranky I saw her getting a little more possessive and once I saw her put her head back scream like she was saying "that is IT! I've had it!".

We caught a few videos of the action.





Oh her birthday, Isabella went out in the snow for the first time and Gus pulled her around on her sled. I'm glad the video Grandpa Jack shot picked up the sound, because she is laughing and laughing while being pulled. It is pretty funny.
