Swan Lake

Yesterday we took a much needed break from packing to get outside. I had found information about this lake online and we thought it would be cool to check out. The reason it's called Swan Lake is because it's the only lake in the States that has all 8 breeds of swans. The weather was nice, about 77 and sunny. We had a really good time getting outside and seeing this beautiful lake. Isabella loved everything about the trip, but especially the birds! She was fearless feeding the geese, but we kept her away from the swans (evil birds). She even got to play on the playground a little before we left. I have a video of her laughing on the slides that I will post later today.

The Sweetest Thing

Night before last Isabella and Jonathan fell asleep on our bed reading. How adorable is this?

Bye Bye Bottle

Today makes five days since Isabella had her last bottle! She had been showing very little interest in her bottles for some time so we decided to go ahead and see if we could ween her off, and it worked. Right now she is still taking formula in her sippy cup, but next week we are going to start working in cow's milk. No bottles...no formula...praise the Lord! This is going to make our lives so much easier. While it is very exciting it is also very sad because this really is big girl territory. What happened to my baby?

Next we are going to start trying to take the paci. Now that's terrifying! We are going to start off slowly, only allowing her to have it at naps and at bedtime,then work towards no paci at all. She loves her paci a lot more then she ever loved her bottle so I don't expect it will be as easy to get away from her.

Happy Halloween

We drove down to Georgia for Halloween, it was HOT, but we had a great time. Isabella was a chicken, a very cute chicken.
