Salty and Sweet

We were craving some McDonald's one night and made a run through the drive thru. I was trying to hid the bag of friend and my cone from her in the back seat but Isabel caught me.

Interestingly enough, her appetite isn't very picky. She knows what fries and ice cream are so it's not gross for her to combine the two. I guess that's a good thing.

She's been talking up a storm the last few weeks and can imitate us really well. We really have to be careful in what we say around her. She knows a lot of words. Her favorite word right now is "owl". During Xmas, I had an owl sitting in the tree so everytime she sees trees, she points and says "owl". It's super cute. So far she's able to understand both English and Mandarin and doesn't seem to be confused at all.

Baby Loves Disco

On Saturday, our parents group had a meet up event at Baby Loves Disco at the Avalon Nightclub. It's actually a night club that hosts baby dancing events during the day and at night turns into a real club. They have a DJ that spins disco music and bubble machines for the kids on the dance floor. Isabel was a little stunned in the beginning because there were so many little kids. She just wanted to sit there and observe them. She finally warmed up to the dance floor when she saw all the bubbles.

Here is my little cutie looking her finest! It was a Valentine's Day theme party and I thought it was too cold to wear a dress. Plus, she just looks too cute in her popped collar polo anyway. The venue had all sorts of snacks and toys for the kids. Tons of balloons and giveaways. I thought it was very well put together. Admissions was a little steep at $12 per person but there was a huge turn out so it must not bothered that many people. I think she'll like it more as she gets older. Too bad they didn't play the Wiggles or else she'd really go nuts.

Elmo was at the party and I didn't notice this until after we took pictures that this is the freakiest looking Elmo I'd ever seen. UGH yea.... Someone really ought to work on the costume a bit more...

Random picture of her bad hair day. I think she even has cookie crumbs all over her mouth.

It's a GIRL!

Today was the day we were waiting for! It's my favorite appointment of all the ob appointments during the pregnancy. My ultrasound tech Cindy is seriously one of the NICEST people I've ever met and she makes you feel like you've been friends forever. Anyhow, at 4pm today, she told Ben and I that we were having a girl! "No little boy parts here," she said. So now, Izzy will have a little sister who can either drive her nuts or become her best friend. Now Ben and Ozzie are outnumbered so maybe we're going to have to get another boy schnauzer just to even the playing field. I'm so excited to know that I will not have to buy a single thing or even have baby shower. If we were having a boy, I would have considered having another baby shower but now we don't need to. I'm also excited that the girls can share a room and even a bunk bed when they get older. How fun! I remember how fun it was for Cindy and I when we first got our bunk bed. It was like a our own fort. Now it will all come down to names and that's the hardest part of all. I'm half way through the pregnancy and I can't wait!
