Birthday Brunch

A little late, but here are some photos from Garrett and I's birthday brunch.  We had a lot of fun.  We went to Salty's with both sets of parents.  Afterwards we all walked Redondo Board Walk, and took some photos at the end of the dock.

Isabella's First Snow

Yesterday, January 15th was Isabella's first time in the snow.  At first she was perplexed, then happy, and then eventually I think the cold got to her and she had enough.  The first photo below is her first time experiencing it.  The second photo was taken today.  She was enjoying it until she tried to crawl and face planted into the snow.  Definately didn't like that experience.  And lastly we posted a video of Isabella experiencing the snow for the first time.

Crawling

Isabella started crawling on January 7th, 2012.  She was playing in her room, and daddy was in the rocking chair watching her (i.e. reading some paperwork).  He noticed movementout of the corner of his eye and when he looked up he found Isabella crawling towards him.  What she was really after was her clown "Gymbo."  I had stashed Gymbo next to the rocking chair earlier in the day.  She loves this clown to the extreme.  You might say a clown...that is quite odd.  Well they use this clown in her gym classes, and it was in these classes that she grew a deep love for him.  She could be screaming and crying, but if you pull Gymbo out, a smile and laughter will immediately appear.  Here is a video of her second time crawling.  Obviously once daddy had noticed she was crawling he immediately ran to get the camera and tried to re-create the scenario.  Remember this is her first crawl, so it is a bit strange.  However, she has now perfected it and is hard to keep up with.  The dog actually wants to go outside more because Isabella will not leave him alone. 

Hives Cont.

An update to the previous hive story.  That same night around 1 am, Isabella began running a fever and definately wasn't feeling well.  We noticed she again had hives on her face so we inspected everywhere.  Below is a picture.  Her legs were completely covered in hives.  Poor girl.  We decided it was best to see a doctor.  The doctor believed the hives were a reaction to the viral infection Isabella had caught.  The doctor also said her throat looked very painful.  For those that know Isabella, it was so bad that she had almost lost her voice entirely.  Yes that also means her amazingly high pitch scream.  There wasn't much we could do besides keep her dosed on Tylenol.
