Last weekend fun

We did a few activities last weekend that where Isabella's separation anxiety showed up again. On Friday, Uncle John and Aunt Kristy came over to babysit while Jeff and I went out to eat and to a Beatles tribute band concert. Isabella didn't seem too excited to have other people present while she was eating her dinner before we left. It sounds like things didn't go too badly, but she wasn't too happy that evening. It sounds like Uncle John and Aunt Kristy tried to entertain her and she was only half-heartedly joining in on the fun. It sounded like she basically acted the same way when we had our babysitter Cindy watch her while we went to Trivia Night the other week. I'm hoping the phase passes soon.

On Sat. night we made a trip to the Quad Cities to celebrate Elliot's 3 year birthday.

Happy Birthday Elliot!!! (we know you are a faithful blog reader!)

Isabella was shy at first, there was lots of other 1-4 year olds there, but it didn't take her too long to get comfortable. The party was nice, but I didn't bust out my camera, I don't know how that happened. Luckily Jesse sent me some pictures.



Here is Isabella watching the gift opening. We are working with her to keep things out of her mouth and yet she is caught on film clearly with something in her mouth


Isabella tried ice cream for the first time and really enjoyed it. We'd give her a bite and she's get a silly grin on her face. She also really liked Elliot's Cozy Coupe car (you've seen them everywhere - the red car with the yellow top). I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled at garage sales this year to pick one up for her.
