Cleveland Rocks!!






We just got back from our trip to Cleveland. Ohhh I miss it already. Who would have thought I would ever miss Cleveland Ohio so much. We had a blast. Isla and Natalie were so cute together. Natalie was such a good big cousin. She was always patting Isla's back, bending over to her level to make her smile and sometimes she let Isla play with her toys (that one was a stretch, she mostly took them away from Isla). They giggled and smiled together, they played on the swings and went on walks together, they made all of us laugh watching them together...it really was perfect. We got to do a little (and I stress little) sightseeing while we were there. We went to downtown Cleveland and checked out "The Flats" (a block of restaurants and bars), saw some cute towns, the football and baseball stadium. We ate at Michael Simon's burger joint and all got sick the next day, but come to find out we all had some GI bug-this is x2 for the Watters' Family this winter. Anyway, it was such a blast, here are some pics.
Notes on Isla: Not crawling forward yet, still rocking and pushing herself backwards. She looks like she will crawl anyday but it's been that way for a while. She is giving kisses-best reward in the world. Babbling up a storm "mamama, dadadad, nanana, bababab", her squealing of course remains. Always jumping, Erin jokes will be one of those standing long jumpers, she really gets those legs moving. Eats anything we give her with gusto. Two bottom teeth. I think that's it...here are some pics of our trip. Oh and YEAH TO HEALTH CARE REFORM!

Pterodactyl

Our little wonder is getting so big. She is developing such a personality, it's hysterical. It's a wonder where she gets it from but she seems to like to be the center of attention. She has this squeal/screech/scream of delight that she does where she sounds like a Pterodactyl. The other day we were grocery shopping and she was getting really into it, and luckily I got a video. I love to watch it when I am at work or school and missing her.
We were just talking last night how lucky we were to have such a happy baby and one that loves to sleep. We would like to think it was how strict we were with her sleeping habits in the beginning, but I think we just lucked out. Plus her pediatricians name is Dr.Sleeper, so I am pretty sure that had something to do with it as well.
She is plugging along nicely, not quite crawling yet but rocking on all fours and rolling around the floor like a mad woman. She LOVES to eat (again, have no idea where she got that). We really haven't found anything she doesn't like yet, maybe peas....mayyyyybe.
Anyway, off to Cleveland on Saturday for a week! I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun to watch Natalie and Isla together. Plus I can't wait to spend time with Erin and Evan, I hate being away from them. I am sure we will have some good stories to report on the girls. Happy Tuesday!
