Our friend Marissa was gracious enough to get us tickets to Yo Gabba Gabba live. It was awesome!

And we were lucky enough to go backstage after the show and meet the whole gang!

The many faces of Bella!

She enjoys dressing up in my clothes and shoes, and as you can see she has a flair for dramatic poses. She is constructing new sentences and expanding her vocabulary daily. While I was away, Christian taught her to say, 'Sup, homes? - too much!

Super Snacker






Beth is making a costume for a Super Hero party Isabella is attending this weekend. Looks pretty good for designing and constructing it on the fly. She's Mary Marvel, Shazam's Little sister.

Kidspace Children's Museum, Pasadena, CA

As you may notice in some of Isabella's facial expressions, she has a flair for asserting her desires, often using the phrase mine, or no mama.  In the padded play area at Kidspace, she commandeered a selection of toys.  She loved the puppets and balls and the wooden and soft cars.  At one point, she was having a difficult time keeping other kids from all of her toys - her hands are still quite small after all and could only hold so many at once.  

As a special note to other first time parents, be aware that swim diapers DO NOT contain the urine, only the nuggets, as I learned when Isabella stood up and left a giant pool of piss on their floor!  Who knew.  







Universal City Walk

She wont be two until October but the "terrible twos" are well upon us.


Tantrum time

But she does love miso soup!
