Today is Isabella's two month birthday. She's going to go to the doctor to get her shots and we will find out what her latest measurements are. She is a SUPER laid back baby. She only cries to let us know she's awake in the morning. She's been sleeping through the night except when my Mom was here but I think that was due to her not feeling well. She went to sleep last night at 10:30 and woke up this morning at 6:45. Nicolas adores her. Although yesterday we went to "Build A Bear Workshop" to have Nicolas make Bella her first stuffed animal. Now mind you Nicolas has three bags of animals in the crawl space, a.k.a. attic, and still has animals in his room. He doesn't need anymore stuffed animals. He was upset that Bella was getting a stuffed animal and he wasn't. It ended up being okay though. He created a sound for the animal that says, "Isabella, Nicolas loves you."
My Mom came and visited us from February 15th to the 20th. It was so nice to have her come out and help out with the growing family. Nick had been gone the week previous to that and was going to be gone again that week so my Mom came out. It was great for her too because she hadn't met Miss Isabella Marie yet. She and Larry were in Europe when Bella was born. It was also the first time she'd seen our house. It turned out to be a great blessing that she was here because Nicolas got sick Monday night, Tuesday I got sick and Wednesday Bella started getting sick. On Monday we rode the train into Chicago, ate lunch and went ice skating. Yes, I went ice skating and didn't break anything. Nicolas loved it. Isabella and my Mom watched while Nicolas and I had a great time. Nicolas hadn't ever gone ice skating before. The last time I had gone was for a rush event for Gamma Phi Beta at least 8 years ago. Before leaving my Mom wanted to get Bella a tummy playtime mat. Nick and I had wanted to buy the Baby Einstein play mat but didn't because of the price. Grandma came and bought it for the little peanut, Bella, and she loves it. Grandma's are so good, gracious and loving. This Grandma loves her Grandkids!!
We've had lots of rain and thank goodness no water in the basement. We found that we had two HUGE cracks in the foundation. We got those fixed and poof no more water. If only we had ripped off the drywall the first time we wouldn't have had to go through the experience the second time. Oh well, I guess it adds character.
