Isabella and I had a great weekend together. We had a little breakfast playdate with the Crandall's and the Kraemer's on Saturday. Isabella liked playing with the kids and their toys. I took myself out to dinner on Saturday night (thank you Applebees carside delivery), and Sunday was pretty low-key, we hit the grocery store in the morning and watched football in the afternoon.

Jason harvested two deer on Saturday and that completes his hunting season, he came home last night. (Thank you God for answering my prayers!)

After much practice Isabella can now clap and play Patty-Cake on her own. She has also started to wave, however this action does not coordinate with someone coming or going. We are cheering her own and waving back none-the-less. I also discovered (as did Bella) that she can climb stairs. Saturday night I left Bella downstairs while I went up to kitchen to make her bottle. I could hear that she must have crawled to the foot of the stairs but I was certainly NOT expecting to see her tackling step #3. Lesson learned: Do not underestimate this very determined girl.
