We had Isabella's picture taken at Olan Mills since I had a coupon and here are the results. It took a long time to get these because she was not in the best mood, but she finally did smile.

Fireworks!

Alessandra loves fireworks. We get some that are low to the ground - the best ones are the fountains - don't make much noise, but are very pretty. She gets all excited and claps for them. Isabella is not sure if she likes them or not. She doesn't like the noise that much.

Getting into Trouble

Isabella is getting into everything!!! She is taking a few steps here and there. She will pull herself up, balance herself, and take a step, then fall. She has been pulling out the outlet covers - Like I said - into everything!!!

In the Pool

We spent some time playing in the pool. I was trying to teach Alessandra how to blow bubbles in the pool, but she does not quite get that she should not swallow the water! She drank lots of water. Isabella still enjoys a pool full of bubbles...I love it too because she gets a bath at the same time.

A Fantastic Find!!!!

One of my Dad's great finds!!! Trash to treasure! Can you guess where he found it?? You got it - someone was throwing it away. So, Mom and Dad fixed it up for the girls - sanded it, put rub ons with their names, the alpahbet, Tinker Bell, the beach, and flowers, and put a finish on it. Alessandra loves it and when Isabella can sit on it, she will love it too!
