Do you like this cool 70's outfit. It was a hand-me-down from a woman at church. Just give her a red nose and wig and we have a little clown. Well, our little girl is ten months old. Overall, I'm doing pretty good with her getting older. I do get sentimental at times, but it also is fun and rewarding to watch her grow and learn new things. The other day, I observed her doing some problem solving. She was standing up on her bedroom floor and holding onto her crib. Her pacifier dropped to the ground. Isabella reached down to grab her paci and ended up grabbing the part that goes in her mouth. She kept trying to rotate it, but it was difficult to do one-handed (her other hand was busy holding onto the crib for balance). After a few attempts to rotate the paci, she sat down on the floor, used both hands to rotate her paci, put it back in her mouth, and proceeded to stand back up. I enjoyed watching her figure out something on her own.
We celebrated our four-year anniversary this past week. Rebecca, another student from the seminary, came over to watch Isabella so that we could go out. We decided to try an Italian restaurant that we'd never been to called Bucca di Beppo's. It was a pretty fun place. We were taken off guard when the greeter asked us if we wanted to be seated right away or take a tour of the restaurant. We've never been asked to tour a restaurant before. She showed us around the place. We even went through the kitchen where there was a family dinner table that people can reserve. The place was kind of a maze and every inch of the walls were covered with some picture/photograph. All of the meals are served family style and are meant for more than one person. We decided to split a dish and still had leftovers. Afterwards, we went to Borders and got a yummy blended caramel coffee drink. This was our first date night since we've been back here and we really enjoyed it.

She has become quite intrigued by the mirror on the bathroom door
Um, what is she doing?
Let's get a closer look - silly girl!
One of her favorite things to do is stand on the couch and reach for the plant behind it
Her other favorite thing is to pull up on our coffee table
I like this picture 
She's really into grabbing our faces lately. We're trying to teach her to be more gentle.
All clean!
