#71 Girls Just Want to Have Fun!
March 11, 2012
Isla and her churro! She is working so hard at looking at the camera and smiling, but clearly she isn't totally comfortable yet.
Isla and I had a special Mama / Daughter Date today. We shopping and then out to eat at Rubio's (Isla's choice). It was really wonderful to spend 1:1 time together. I'd forgotten all the fun we had running around together. Oh, we still have fun with Isaac, it just isn't as spontaneous. This is a wonderful perk of bottle feeding.

Isaac loves the bath. We've taken the infant sling out and now he kicks and splashes. He is a very mellow guy who rarely complains, but we can tell he'd rather be bathing than toweling off.

#69 Sweet Tummy!
March 9, 2012
I've been taking a lot of pictures of Isaac's sweet tummy. Even if it isn't perfect underneath, it is perfect on top and I love it. I'm not looking forward to seeing it with sutures.

#68 Rocker Babies Rock Out

Isaac still loves his swing and so do we, but I think he is quickly approaching the "when they try to climb out they are too big for the swing" age limit.

#67 - Sweet Springtime!
March 7, 2012
We've had some lovely weather. Isla and Charlotte celebrated by going topless. We've crossed an amazing threshold in Isla's play skills. Isla and Charlotte played together without assistance or interruption for 2 straight hours today. They had some complex picnic hospital game going that incorporated the TV show "Super Why." Gretchen & I decided to let them play as long as they could to see how long it could go, but by 4:30 we had to call it quits. Amazing!

#66 Princes Power!

Isla is our little star! She has been working so hard to listen to what Andrew & I ask and respond the first time. Here she is with her star chart. She earned a bath time Sleeping Beauty doll for getting all her stars for nine days. We are so proud of our big girl!

Heading off to preschool. I love my happy kiddos.
Isla decided to wear her helmet to school. Everyone enjoyed it as much as she did.

Isaac loves to stand right now and will work to push himself up if supported. Don't you love his little crabby outfit? It has a crabby on the bum too.

Isla & I made an amazing train track today. It was her idea to run it through the barn!

#61 - Committed
March 1, 2012
This is hard and Isaac is not a fan, but we are committed. Here is just one of 4 racks of bottles and pumping paraphernalia I got out and cleaned. We ordered a gram scale & we are giving it 100%.

#60 - Happy Birthday Great Grandma!
February 29, 2012
Isaac is NOT an Elecare Fan. Andrew says it isn't surprising... "He went from having a fresh tapped keg of Sierra Nevada available 24-7 to warm Bud Light."
My Great Oma Rosa is turning 29 today! I'm older than her!
#59 - A New Way to Thrive
February 28, 2012
Isaac has new formula. It is the Crystal of formulas and smells and tastes like rotten cauliflower. It is 100% food protein free and all the food proteins have been broken down into amino acid chains.

#58 - See's Please!
February 27, 2012
See's Candies suckers are peanut & treenut free. Isla LOVES them! Right now she has an elaborate super star chart & is earning stars for "listening the first time." If she gets the requite number of stars in a day she gets an edible treat and a sticker. The sticker is for another chart. When she gets 9 stickers she gets a sleeping beauty bathtime barbie doll. She is pretty amped!

#57 - Princess Art Explosion
February 26, 2012
Isla's friend Ethan gave her an art set with OVER 1000 pieces in it. Andrew just about died. He hates toys with lots of pieces. I, on the other hand, realized that I would have died to get my hands on this art kit as a child. Here's Isla learning the art of water color from her Dad.

#56 - Betime Princess
February 25, 2012
Isla got this Princess Bedtime Book for her birthday. She LOVES it! The only problem is that Rapunzel didn't make it in the book so she asks me to retell all the stories to incorporate aspects of Rapunzel into them. I can still see Baby Isla when I look at this picture. LOVE!

#55 - Phrenology
February 24, 2012
Andrew & I are forever trying to convince people of Isaac's weird head shape. (Luckily the Dr's do not need convincing.) The problem is, you have to be in an odd angle to see it. Here's a poor attempt to capture it on camera. The one thing this does show is how different his ears are. This was taken almost directly behind him. The ears are a little more lined up, but not completely. Also, on the left side of the photo, there is no shadow at the base of his skull where it sloops in because it does not slope in. It is flat. It is hard to see, but the dark shadows on his skull are actually indentations.

#54 - Ummm....
February 23, 2012
This continues to be a bit of a fail on my part...looking at my calendar, I have no idea what we did on Feb. 23rd. One thing we did NOT do was take pictures. I took this on February 25th. Isaac has the best cheek bones - they are totally from his daddy.
