Happy Father's Day and Happy Birthday, Grandma Linda!

Isabella would like to wish all fathers a very happy Father's Day. She also wants to wish Grandma Linda a very happy birthday! (Next year is a really big one for her!!!) We didn't really do too much special for Father's Day. We went out for lunch at Old Chicago. We didn't know it but they were having a pizza buffet which worked perfectly because by the time we got there it was well past Isabella's normal lunch time. Later that night we went over to Uncle John and Aunt Kristy's house for dinner. We celebrated Father's Day, Uncle John's birthday, Isabella's 1/2 birthday and my birthday - Kristy was just along for the ride. Isabella had lots of fun playing at their house, they have a toy box over there with different toys for her to play with. She's also very intrigued by Bob Sanders, the cat. Isabella also "had a ball" with their exercise ball in the basement. It is about as big as she is. Uncle John gave Isabella a chocolate chip cookie that she enjoyed a lot and got all over her face.


Isabella was also very intrigued as to why her highchair was sitting on the floor. She kept climbing right in and trying to put her bib on and attach her tray.


We noticed there was some drainage coming out of Isabella's left ear. I was surprised because she hadn't really seemed sick or anything. I knew to start using the ear drops for her, because the tubes were doing what they are supposed to. Jeff said we'd better take her to the doctor. Well, Jeff's instincts were right again, she has an ear infection in her right ear (not her left, because it was draining properly). So, she's on antibiotics and we are armed again with all sorts of diaper rash cream, expecting the worst. Isabella's been in really good spirits lately, though. No biting and not too many tantrums. At daycare they said she's become a big helper on the infant side of the room and always wants to help feed the babies their bottles.
