A day of firsts...

Isabella and I have been going to my parents house everyday (M-F) so I can get some work done and my parents and Leanor watch Iz for me. I take breaks but I can get a few hours straight of work in, and Isabella is making some really important connections with her grandparents. It works out for all of us.

Today, Isabella and Gammy wanted to take advantage of the last bit of sun before the winter weather kicks in, and went for a dip in the pool. Well actually the jacuzzi. We turned the heat on to about 86 degrees to make it a little cooler than bath water, but warmer than pool water. I missed the beginning of it, but she didn't so much like the colder water at first. So, Grandpapa increased the temp by a few degrees...and whalla! she is in love!

One of the funniest things though is Isabella went in with a diaper. She has like 10 bathing suits but we thought it would be easier for her to go in like this for her first time. She did look cute in her bikini....not to worry though, she will have plenty of pictures of her in a bathing suit from Costa Rica (only 24 days away!).

Here are a few pictures of Isabella soaking up the rays!

Her toy that Leanor bought her! Thanks!

My mom and I were finishing up a few things, and Isabella wouldn't sleep longer than 30 minutes in her crib (she was exhausted and needed a longer nap). I was trying to work, so my mom rocked her to sleep but after 10 minutes, Gammy's back hurts so we needed to do a trade off. The issues was that I needed my hands to finish working. I remembered that I had this in my diaper bag so I thought we would try it out. She liked it. She slept for another hour in this!
