Grandma Edie's 95 birthday!

We had a great time this past weekend celebrating Edie's 95th birthday! It was so much fun to hear her stories about growing up in the country and going to school in a one room school house. It was also fun to have all of the cousins and second cousins together. Quite a party!

The pictures below are a representation of what it is like to take pictures of Isla right now. Basically impossible. She is so quick and has no patience for pictures. She is into running and still sticking everything possible from the ground or floor into her mouth!


Isla had her 15 month check and she is still 95% for height, 93% for weight and 100% for head size! So basically there are no other babies in this country with heads bigger than hers! It is all of those brains! She is doing well at daycare and today for the first time she had no problem leaving me and went right to Josie. It is always hard to leave her in the morning when she is crying, so that made my day!

First day of day-care!!

Isla's first day at daycare today! We decided to go with a home daycare since it was a little more personal and more flexible with our unpredictable hours. Josie is the woman's name and she has three kids of her own. Two are in school half day and the little one Ryan is about Isla's age. Josie has lots of awesome toys at her house that Isla loves. I think Josie will do a good job of doing activities and some toddler teaching with her. She gives us a sheet each day of things Isla does, what she eats, etc. Apparently today Isla did an apple painting project! I'm curious to see what that looks like!
Of course dropping her off today was much harder on me than on her! I cried like a baby but my baby just ran out of my arms to the toys. I guess she did really well and took a good nap.
On another good note I did my first operation today as a real surgeon! Woo hoo! Feels good to not be a resident anymore!
