Bottle Strike

Isabella decided to go on a bottle strike and was no longer drinking out of a bottle. It took daddy, Nonna Maltase and Aunt Gretchen to consistently offer her a bottle until she finally drank it. Unfortunately, or fortunately, (depending on how you view this obstacle), mom was not allowed to help. Anyhow, here is a photo of Bella passed out in Gretchen's arms after two hours of trying to offer her a bottle. She did this two days in a row with Gert. After she woke up from this catnap, Gretchen had success. Its' been four days in a row and Isabella is back on the bottle wagon. Yeah! Thank you daddy, Karen and Gretchen!

Her First Swim

Here is Bella's first swimming experience. She is a kicker!

Big Girl Chair

Nonna Maltase gave Bella this chair for her to play in. She loves it.

Outdoor Girl

Isabella had a great time this weekend. She loves being outside. To enjoy the beautiful weather we ventured to farmers market and also participated in the Mt. Tabor Art Walk. She loved it.

Lunch with Daddy

We met daddy for lunch. He's been working really hard on the movie. It was fun to meet up with him.

First Mother's Day

Had a wonderful first Mother's Day. Soon-to-be Uncle Jason and Aunt Gretchen made us breakfast, a fresh asparagus frittata, yum! Then went shoe shopping, came home and Tony was home early. I am so lucky! Hope everyone else had a wonderful day!!!
