Parent-Teacher Conference and Spring Breakin' it!

"The Game Face"

Piggy-tails!

Isabella's First Potty Training experience :)

Jeff and I had a Parent-Teacher conference on Tuesday morning. Ms. Leah said Isabella has been doing great and is on track to transition into the "Toddler Room". How did my infant become a toddler so quickly? I can't believe she will be in a new classroom in less than a month. She will begin the transition a week before her first birthday. I. can't. believe. it. But I know her new classroom will be filled with new friends, teachers, and adventures. I know she will love it. I feel like the only time I consistenly blog is my monthly posts. I will try to get better at it ....but as you know there never seems to be enough hours in the day. Last week was Spring Break and we all had a great time. We loved having John and Rodrigo come visit us. It isn't Spring Break without them. Of course we spent a lot of time hanging out and eating at a bunch and bunch of restaurants. I told the guys it just feels like we are constantly eating when they are here. I guess you can attribute it to the fact that we are all "foodies". The weather here as been really strange. I snowed during Spring Break!!! Anyways...just thought I would update a little before the big "First Birthday" post and show off what Ms. Bella has been up to. As you can tell we have been experimenting with new hairstyles :)

11 months old today!

Guess who is 11 months old today?

Bella Boo--that's who!!

Isabella had fun swinging outside in the backyard. She couldn't stop smiling!

Our baby girl is 11 months old today. In one month we will be celebrating Isabella's first birthday. WOW. I still am processing this and really in shock. When people say the first year goes by fast they are not kidding! We have already began the party planning are really excited to celebrate the big day with friends and family. This month has been a fun one. Isabella is really developing quite the personality. She is such a sweetheart. She is now "sharing with us". She puts her hand out and offers us whatever she has (usually whatever she is eating or a toy). Don't try and take it though because she will pitch a fit! Isabella is also quite the eater. She loves to eat many foods and loves to feed herself. She loves grilled cheese, pears, peaches, bananas, cheerios, quesadillas, pasta, broccoli, ravioli, gnocchi...well you get the point! She is a true foodie. :) She has 4 teeth and I suspect two on the top are coming through soon. Isabella is also pulling up and looks very proud when she doing it. Isabella sat in her first grocery cart on Saturday at Babies R Us....of course I had to put our cute Floppy Seat on it. She did really well and seemed to like seeing everything and people watching.

This month has been a crazy one at Bella's school....her infant class won the float competition and won a food party!!! The float was "The very hungry Caterpillar" and all the parents voted! Isabella and her classmates enjoyed a feast of fettuccine Alfredo, chicken, corn and bread sticks at the party. Ms. Leah said Isabella was hoovered over her plate because she wanted to make sure no one took her food. She is such a funny little girl. The weather has been really nice lately so her class also enjoyed some time outside on the playground. She loves being outside! We have been skyeping with Grammy, Abuelo, and Uncle Eduardo this month as well. Isabella loves showing off her funny army crawl and showing off her "game face". We also had a fun time at Connor's first birthday party. Isabella loves hanging out with her little buddy and playing with all his toys! It was great party and we loved seeing Connor on his big day! We had a great month as you can tell. We are in full birthday party planning mode and I can't wait to see all our family and friends to celebrate this very special day. I can't believe our baby girl is almost 1 year old....entering toddlerhood!
