Clapping
Not only is Isabelle clapping but she's following directions if you ask her to clap which is awesome!
First tooth!
Election - what election? Isabelle got her first tooth today! And likely, it's been there for a day or two and I didn't feel it because it's POPPING out. Looks to be bottom left. Usually kids with DS's teeth come in later and in a different order. Hers came BEFORE Jack's and the left tooth. It looks like it may be a little jaggedy but we'll soon see! It also looks like she's getting another near it - see the white bulge? Her cheeks were red today which prompted me to check.
First birthday!
As Coach Belichick says - we're on to 2. It's hard to believe - Isabelle is now 1. <3 Izzie mowed down on another cupcake. Loved it. Grandpa Bentley made this awesome collage for her. And this, my friends, is where I leave you. One post for every day of her first year. I will, of course, update when there is need/want to but it will not be daily. I hope you've enjoyed watching her grow day by day. :)
Day 366
Well here it is: the last first day Isabelle will ever have. She's lived every other day of the calendar once. Isabelle's first birthday party. About 80 people came. I had a ton of help decorating and setting up from my mom, Scott;s mom & grandma. Under the sea theme. We had a paint a sand dollar station. Jack painted like 5. This is Donna - Jackson's and Isabelle's dyacare provider. Could not have lucked out more than we did with her. Isabelle looooves icing. It took like 100 hits but the pinata finally broke. Jack also wouldn't get out of the ball pit. <3 she is going to be the best dressed baby ever. How awesome is this cake? I know I say it all the time but we hit the jackpot with our friends and family. They have no idea how big of a support system they are to us.
Day 365
Isabelle's runner sent her some wicked cute clothes, tshirts from the buddy walk she did and two awesome medals from her runs. Isabelle has the best buddy ever! Dad, Isabelle and I went to baby sign language at the MDSC while grandma & grandpa Bentley watched Jack.
Day 363
Happy girl doesn't know she's about to go under for ear tubes. You're gonna do WHAT to me? The surgery took 20 minutes and she woke up fine, we cuddled and she ate. Then we headed out. The guy said her canals are very small and they were filled with fluid. Her right ear had thick fluid in it. She could hear but not very well. He got all the fluid out and placed the tubes in. So now she should hear everything pretty clearly. We were right down the road from dad so we visited him at work and she was the star of the show!
