New toys and a visit with friends

We had a great visit a couple weekends ago with Kristina, her daughter Sarah who is 7 months and her mom Sue. They came up from San Jose, and Sue came down from Paradise. We hung out all day and Isabelle got to meet her good friend Sarah. It was a great day and we are so greatful that they were able to come to visit and hope that we can do it again soon!

We have been trying out some toys we recieved for shower gifts, like the Jumperoo and the Bumbo chair. She is still a little bit too small as she is kind of slumped over in them, but we still had fun for a short time.



Her favorite toys, and probably more age appropriate, still remain the swing and the jungle floor mat. Here is Daddy and Isabelle in the grass. We thought that she wouldn't like the feeling of the grass, but she didn't mind it at all.

Update

Isabelle went in today for her 2 month appointment. She had to get her first shots, which was very sad for mommy to watch. Thankfully daddy could take time off work and hold her. She is developing right on track and meeting all her milestones. She now weighs 13 lbs. 8 oz. (95th %ile) and is 23 3/4 inches (90th %ile). She is smiling and cooing more and is getting to be a very attentive listener. We have been working on "tummy time" but as you can see by the double "flip off" in the picture below, Isabelle doesn't really like it too much. She loves bath time! She is all smiles and now kicks her legs and sometimes splashes mommy. We tried to give her hair some curls, but when it dried it just looked like crazy hair. This is her post-bath confused look.
The best thing about all this hair is that I get to put little clips in it. I have now figured out how to do it without making her cry. This is definatley better for us both.

Here are a couple of pictures of Isabelle and our new friend Paige. The girls bond (or sleep is probably more accurate) while the mommies go for walks. They are 2 1/2 weeks apart.
