MY BIG GIRL

Sunday evening Ronald was reading to Isabella when she got up and said "Mami, Isabella make poopy", and she started running to her bathroom. So I took her diaper off, and put her on the potty....and she went! She peed a little....I got excited and screamed, so she stopped peeing and smiled really big. We were so proud....she said she wasn't done yet so we waited a little more, and she peed again. She's my big girl. Who knows, maybe by the time she's two she'll be potty trained.

August 1st...watching the Finnigan boys

Such a big, sweet, happy boy.
Isabella really wanted to put her headband (she calls is a ganee) on the boys....they humored her.
Nathan didn't seem to mind the headband at all.
Next in line.....Brandon gets a turn to wear the headband....he actually came over and requested that Isabella put it on him.
Fixing the headband.....he wore it for a good five minutes before taking it off.

Isabella reading a book to Nathan.
Brandon playing between the easle....he and Isabella spent a lot of time playing back there.
Talking on the phone....she is very good at playing pretend on the phone.
Best friends playing behind the easle.
Cute little Nathan loved to play with the kitchen.

Sommer went to NYC on Friday, so I got the priviledge of watching her cutie-pie boys. We had a lot of fun playing and singing. Isabella really loved having someone to play with.

Isabella's purse and Mami's 25th birthday

I love this picture....look at Brandon's face....such a cutie.

The Finnigan's came over for my birthday to hang out and eat Chinese with us. Sommer made an AWESOME cake....thanks Sommer. On a different note, everytime Isabella and I go out to the store, she wants to take this huge black purse that she calls Isabella's purse....it's very cute.

Shower time

Isabella always requests to take a shower in our bathroom. She loves to take her toys in there and just sit and let the water splash on her. She feels like such a big girl, and it's a nice and easy way to clean myself and her.

Papi's big girl helper

Watching Papi mow.

Isabella is obsessed with watching Ronald mow the lawn, and she is always asking to help Papi work on whatever he's working on. Here are a few pictures of her actually getting to help.

Sweet girl

I was cleaning up the kitchen, and I didn't hear Isabella making any noise at all, so I peeked my head around the corner and this is what I found.....


Curled up with blankie and a good book, lounging on the couch.
Such a good little reader.
