More "Firsts"

Dear Isabella,

Oh dear it's been a month already! You went to the beach and swam in the ocean for the first time and loved it. You kept finding pebbles and trying to eat them. You kept Daddy and I busy that day! You are eating more foods - you had a couple of bites of Daddy's asparagus and loved it and also a bite of cake and loved it (almost TOO much, you kept demanding more!) which is good news for your birthday coming up.

You're almost walking. You walk along the furniture like you've been doing it forever and let go to stand on your own sometimes too. I swear you've taken one step between pieces of furniture a bunch of times but I haven't been able to capture it.

You don't use a chair or baby tub for your bath anymore, just a nonslip mat. You're talking more every day. Sometimes we talk to Hilo Grandpa, Lola and Auntie Cayla on FaceTime and they're so happy to see you! And almost every Monday you get to see your Abuela on Skype. She loves talking to you also.

Tonight we brushed your teeth for the first time with an actual toothbrush since now you have SIX teeth! Wow!

I wish I could stop time, little Bean, and have you this cute and cuddly for always! I love watching you explore and learn and discover. And even when you're playing on your own, the way you turn back to look at us every few minutes like, "Did you see that, Mommy?!" is so fun. Your happy smile and bright eyes when you hear music or clap your toys together, your little voice when you call out to Orange, your contented sigh when you put your head down on my shoulder - I wish I could bottle up those moments to live over and over again!

Here are some recent pictures of you my sweetheart. You're growing so fast!

Love,
Mommy
