As you can tell, we had quite the Christmas! We left for Puerto Rico on December 23 at 5:00 in the morning. Isabella did very well on the plane and we had some wonderful flights. We even were able to arrive earlier than expected. We were so excited to introduce Isabella to family in Puerto Rico. She was able to meet her great-grandmothers, Cambu and Letty. She also meet her great-aunts and great-uncles and other family and friends. We spent a wonderful Christmas Eve at Grandma Cambu's house and Christmas Day at Titi Carmita and Tio Henry's house. As you can tell from the pictures, Isabella loved the pool and had a wonderful time splashing around. Isabella was also given a special dedication at mass dedicated to her great-grandfather on December 26th. She was asleep the whole time that the priest was holding her and placed her on the altar. We want to thank Titi Carmita and Tio Henry for such a special surprise. :)
On December 27, we celebrated my parent's anniversary at the Marriott. At the Marriott they have a wonderful buffet and a live band playing music. We enjoyed the day listening to music, eating, and spending time outside in the hammock--enjoying a spectacular view of the beach. We also spent some time at the Casino--some of us were more lucky than others!! We spent time at my Grandmother Letty's house also!! Isabella had the chance to meet her great-aunts and uncles as well as her cousins. As usual many games of dominoes were played! Isabella had some fun tub time with her cousin Myrielis as you can tell. I was so happy we were able to take a "4 Generations" photograph. This picture is something I will treasure forever and I am sure Isabella will love as well. We spent New Year's Eve at Titi Carmita and Tio Henry's house. We enjoyed a "5-star meal" with the traditional Puerto Rican cuisine and spent the evening saying cheers for the New Year. We were all blessed with so much in 2009! Isabella joined our family in 2009 and for that I will always remember the year will great fondness and joy. We left Puerto Rico on New Year's Day. We had such a memorable trip and we hope to visit again soon. We are so thankful to everyone for the royal treatment!!

We enjoyed a visit from Bubbie and Uncle Natie this past weekend. Isabella enjoyed spending time with both of them. Some highlights from their visit include dessert-hopping, the mall, Mongolian BBQ, and lounging around the house! We had so much fun and were sad to see them go! They will return in April for Bella's first birthday! Hooray!
Guess who had their 9 month appointment today?
If you guessed Isabella...you are right!
Here are her 9 month-stats:
Weight: 18 lbs. 1 oz. 34%
Height: 26.5 inches 17%
Head Circ: 44.5 65%
She did great at her appointment! Dr. B said she is right on track. Unfortunately she had to get 2 shots which didn't go over so well. After a few tears, she was fine! Next on the agenda? Planning Isabella's first birthday!! Time is flying!
