Isla eating...Sophie la giraffe!

Isla is doing all sorts of things! Yesterday I came home and she started blowing "raspberries" at me! She also laughed for the first time last week. Along with these cute new things comes some frustrations too. She is still not sleeping well at night. She'll sleep from 8-midnight and then up again at 3 and 5am. It also takes me a good half an hour to cuddle her to sleep. I tried to let her "cry it out" once and I lasted a whole 7 minutes!! Well, my project today is to read my "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" book.

I have the weekend off which is nice- we went to Target this morning! So exciting! We might even get Indian for dinner. Oh how our lives have changed!

Newport

We were in Newport this last weekend for a surgical conference I was attending. My program director said it was a family event...so I brought my family! Unfortunately it was raining so we didn't really get to explore as much as we wanted but we did a nice drive along the ocean and saw some of the mansions. We brought the new running stroller that my parents got us as a gift and used that a bit. It is awesome. Like the Porsche of strollers. I can't wait to start running again.
This picture is from Sunday night after we got back. She is so cute when she is in the bath tub. She really splashes around!
Things are going well with Erica the new nanny but we miss Holly. I read the book Red Fish Blue Fish to Isla tonight and that is the book that Holly got her.

Goodbye Holly

Holly has gone back to college. We will miss her so much!

Baby Einstein and Bumbo seat

Isla is getting old enough to start playing with toys now and can hold her head up pretty well. So we set up the excersaucer and the bumbo seat and she loves them!!

She grabs at her toys and smiles and laughs!
