Some pics




The top one is our dining room. The second one is the living room, but it is dark but you get the idea. The third one is Isabella at the VooDoo game. The forth one is Isabella on her swing holding her ball. I will get Easter pics up soon.

It has been crazy lately!!!

Ok it has been a while since I posted anything, but life has been crazy lately. Here goes....
A Scare at Our House
Last thursday we were eating dinner at the table together. Isabella now has a seat at the table and she was sitting in her booster chair. Well she pushed off of the base of the table. The chair went falling backwards. Tony is closest to her, and thank God he moved quickly. He a hand on the chair just as it was hitting the window. The window shattered. If he had gotten to her half a second later she would have fallen through the window. Talk about give me a heart attack. She no longer sits in her booster chair at the table. We lowered her high chair as much as it goes, and it just barely fits under the table. So now she is still at the table but in her high chair, and if she pushes off again the worst she can do is roll the high chair backwards. I feel like a bad mom for not thinking about it beforehand. It could have been a very bad situation.
Potty Time
Isabella got a potty for easter (along with some other things). We are not potty training, she is too young for that I think, but she does know when she goes, and she knows that poo poo goes in the diaper so we figured that it was a good time to at least introduce her to it. It is like the newest toy!! At bath time we have her sit on it, and she thinks it is funny. I have some pictures that I will try to put up here later of her on her potty.
Easter Sunday
We ran around like crazy people as always on the holidays. We had breakfast out and Isabella was trying to share her toys with a baby at the next table. We went by my moms house and to Tony's aunt's house for an easter egg hunt. Isabella lost interest in the easter egg hunt when she saw the barbie car. Oh well maybe next year.
No more bottles
We took away Isabella's night time bottle. That was 2 nights of Hell!! It was awful. After that it slowly started to get better. Now she doesn't even take milk at bedtime. We read books and sing songs and then she goes to bed, and she is ok with that.
Painting
Tony and I painted the dining room and the living room a couple weekends ago. The living room is a chocolate brown (Tony kept saying it looked like chocolate milk while we were painting). The dining room is olive green. I love it, I think that the colors came out perfect. We still have to hang the new TV and then get rid of the old one, and change the molding, but it will be done soon. I do have pics that I will put up of the rooms painted.
