Moving Up

Well it's official... Isha has moved out of the infant carseat and into the Britax Boulevard Carseat, aka: the big mama seat. Isha seems to like the new seat and I am sure she is going to love it even more when she can be turned around and see what is coming instead of what is going. Here is the poor old infant seat left neglected and displaced until the next infant comes along! I am sorry that I have been such a slacker about posting, but we just haven't been up to much lately. With the one and off weather and Daddy fighting a kidney stone, we have been laying low lately. Here are a few before bed pictures of Isha. She has this basket that she always tries to put on her head like a hat, but it ends up around her neck. She will put up with it for awhile, but eventually she gets frustrated and screams for it to be removed, and then promptly puts it right back on her head and around her neck. She is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY now. She is walking all over the place and getting into everything. The kitchen cupboards and TV buttons being her favorite things. She also has her two bottom teeth now and I think she is working on a few more. She is starting to look more grown up and do more big girl stuff. It is nice though that she is so little because that way I feel like she is still my little baby.

A Busy Day

Today was our first Kindermusik class. We had a great time. A few of Isha's friends are in the class so that makes it extra fun. (The little girl in the pink is Hunter, one of Isha's friends.) We did lots of singing and dancing and playing with bells and scarfs. There is even one song that we sing while we massage the kids. Isha really seemed to enjoy it and the teacher was great. She is good with the kids and you can tell that she loves what she does. This is her 10th year of teaching. After her afternoon nap we went to the park to enjoy the 70+ degree weather today. It is funny because when I read all the blogs from home they are full of snow day pictures and activities. Which we are just a little bit jealous about here, but it is hard to be too upset about it when you are able to get out and enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. Since Isha needed a bath anyways I figured I would just let her have at it for dinner. She doesn't seem to be a huge fan of pasta so I thought that maybe it would make a difference if I let her eat it herself. She did take a few bites, but most of it ended up on the floor. Which didn't bother Stitch one bit. This was left over pasta from Maggiano's, which is where Jai and I went to dinner last night for our 3 year anniversary. If she doesn't like Maggiano's pasta then there is no hope for the stuff I make at home. I am sure that eventually she will like pasta, I guess right now it is more fun to play with than to eat! I tried to catch a picture of Isha's new trick, but I wasn't fast enough. She has been sticking her finger up her nose all the time. She thinks it is so funny. I try not to get to upset because I know that the more upset I get the more she will want to do it. Hmmmm....I wonder where she learned that? Kids sure are gross! Isha is also very close to getting her bottom teeth. One of them has almost come through the gums. She is catching up.

Messy Girl

Not much has been going on these last few weeks. Just haning around the house waiting for the weather to get better and catching up from the holidays and the parties. The other day I gave Isha a bitter biscuit thinking it would keep her occupied while I cleaned up the kitchen. It definately kept her busy. These things should come with a warning on the box. I had to change her clothes and hold her under the sink to get all of the cookie off of her. If anyone is brave enough to try them I have almost a full box of bitter biscuits that I would be willing to give them! Ha Ha. Yesterday was wear red day for the American Heart Association's campaign for women's heart health. We dressed Isha up in her red heart jumper and headed down to St. Francis to join in the festivities. We stood out in the pouring rain and formed a heart around the fountain and had our picture taken. We acutally made it on the local news, but we were so small you could barely see us. So now Isha has made her television debut! Our neighbor Michelle was in charge of the event so she was there along with her husband Mike. Mike took a great picture of Isha and I standing behind the red dresses. When I get them from Michelle I will post them.
