A Couple of Eventful Days!!

Saturday. We saw my cousin Michelle's baby Sidney who is 2 months old. He is adorable!! He is so long and solid, I expected him to be light as a feather after carrying around my little chunky monkey, but he wasn't. Saturday night we went to Port of Call with some friends, and then we went swimming. We had a lot of fun even though we couldn't stay as late as everyone else, because Isabella is up and ready to go at 5:30!! (Although she slept until 6:00 the last 2 mornings!! Yay!!)

Sunday. We went have breakfast (brunch) at Copelands with my Mom, Mr. Steve and Scott for Mr. Steve's birthday. It was yummy; I had banana foster french toast. Later that day Tony, Isabella and I went to the grocery store, and she was in such a good mood. She was talking the whole time, and very loudly (she did not get that volume from me!!). Isabella cut her second tooth on sunday. Apparently sunday is the day for cutting teeth at my house. Hopefully we have at least a few weeks of happy baby before she starts cutting the top two.

Monday. We went to the ENT, and he said that Isabella needs tubes. The surgery is scheduled for August 2nd (next thursday). I am so terrified, but I am trying to focus on the end result.

At Isabella's dr appointment friday I convinced the dr to try reflux medicine for all of Isabella's vomitting episodes because it was happening almost daily. She has been on pepcid since saturday morning, and no vomitting since friday. (I have my fingers crossed and I am knocking on wood.) Hopefully she will be feeling much better soon.

Isabella's Little Milestone

I don't know if this counts as a milestone or not, but I am excited none the less. Last night Isabella pulled herself up for the first time. Well she could only get to her knees, but it was still exciting. I think Tony caught some of it on video, and if he did than I will definitely post a link on here for you to see.

Oh, and if you are keeping track Isabella just refuses to cut that second tooth. She is so cranky, all of the time! The fun thing is that it won't be very long until she starts cutting the top 2, so I don't think we will get much of a break after this second tooth breaks through. Oh well, I am still excited about her with all of those little teeth.

More Las Vegas Pictures

We finally got all of our Las Vegas pictures into our photobucket album. If you want to see them, there is a link on the side of the page under Photo Albums.

It is here!!!

I am so excited. Isabella cut her first tooth yesterday. She is still a little cranky though because she is still working on tooth #2. It is on the bottom. Tony and I feel in her mouth all of the time to check on those teeth, and I was beginning to think that she was going to be toothless forever. Last night when I felt inside her mouth it felt weird. So Tony looked in there and he could see the top of the tooth (she did not like that one bit). So we calmed her down and fed her the nighttime bottle. When she was asleep, I felt again and I could definitely feel the ridges on the top of the tooth. I am so excited, and I just can't wait until it is all the way out and you can actually see it good. She is going to be so cute with little toothies.

Las Vegas Trip

Isabella was a very good girl on the plane rides, she did a lot of sleeping, and we entertained her with toys the rest of the time. It was very hot so we did some walking outside, but we tried to stay inside casino's as much as possible to keep cool. While we were there we saw Blue Man Group and Mamma Mia and enjoyed them both very much. We only did a little gambling. We lost all of $12. I guess I would rather eat good food and see the sites!! There was a lion exibit inside of our hotel that was really cool. We got there at feeding time, and they put raw ground meat on the glass and the lions came right up to eat the meat off of the glass. We really had a good time.

The first picture is the MGM grand which is where we stayed at. It was very nice, and I don't think that I have ever been to a hotel that had a pillowtop mattress. The tiger exihibit was at a different casino, the Mirage I think. The rest of the pictures are silly pics, one of me with one of the guys from blue man group, one of Isabella on the streets of Vegas, and one of Tony grabbing a pair of boobs that were hanging from the wall inside one of the casinos. When I get a chance, I will put a link to the rest of the pics for you to see.

Oh My Goodness!!

I think that I would have been ready to punch somebody if this had happened to us. It makes me mad just thinking about it. I had to share.
