Necklaces

Isabella went wild when she was playing with the necklaces from our halloween dress up box. Ironically, that's how you usually get those necklaces...

Dinosaur Eating Video

When we play the Dinosaur song, Lachlan dances and claps (I didn't get the dancing on video) and Isabella does the actions. What a team!

Funny Isabella

* Isabella threw her toy on the ground and I smacked her hand and said 'No Throwing'. She pointed at her hand and said 'Sticker?' Sigh.
* Isabella gave herself a time out. This was because I'd given her a time out for standing on the toilet and when I saw her standing on there again later, she got down and went and sat on the carpet where I'd put her earlier in the day.
* Isabella was trying to play with our clock radio and asked us to play 'If You're Happy and you Know It' on there.
* Isabella pushed her stroller around the house and told us she was doing Stroller Strides.
* Isabella put her Dora The Explorer shoe to her ear and pretended she was talking to Boots (the monkey from the show).

Auntie Melanie's present

Auntie Melanie sent Isabella her first birthday present! A beautiful handbag and some lady beetle clips. She put the clips in the bag and went on her way.

Shopping

Isabella went wild in the fruit department at the supermarket.

Slinky

Ah, the slinky. A classic toy that Isabella has recently discovered.

Watermelon

How can one guy get this much food on his clothes, while wearing a bib?!

Picnic

I took Lachlan to the UCSD study and Isabella stayed out in the room with a baby-sitter. She is so funny. She set up a little picnic table for herself and pulled up a chair to eat her lunch. Well, first she tried to sit in the bumbo, but she couldn't reach her table (which is actually another chair turned sideways.)

Massage

Lachlan gave Isabella a massage.

Funny Isabella

There are too many funny stories to even write them all down right now, but here are a few:
* Dan was watching Jeopardy and the end music came on when the contestants are writing down their answers to the final question. It sounds a little I'm a Little Teapot. Anyway, Isabella starts dancing and telling us she likes that song.
* Isabella ate asparagus and prawns for dinner. And she's not even 2 yet!
* We asked her where something was and she said 'I'm Not Seeing It'.
* Isabella told me she wanted to watch 'Stuff on TV'.
* Isabella heard a helicopter and she wanted to go outside and 'Check if it's Daddy's helicopter'.

Chair

Isabella has figured out how to climb onto our tall table chairs. Unfortunately, she has not figured out how to get down.

Messy

Isabella yelled out to me 'Lachlan Messy'. Well, she was right.

Rubber Duckie

Isabella was listening to the Sesame Street classic Rubber Duckie, so she went and found her rubber duck from the bathroom.

Go Badgers!

Isabella walks around the house saying 'Go Badgers!' all the time in support of Dan's college football team. Yes, Dan dressed both of his children like himself on Saturday when the game was on.

Busted

I found Isabella with a bowl of cheerios that she'd pulled off the table and she was sharing them with Lachlan. When I asked her what she was doing she said 'Two Friends eating Cheerios!'

Rice

When we ate at El Indio, Miss Isabella was very independent. She slid all the way to the end of the bench and ate by herself.

Lachlan Crawling Video

For almost 2 months now Lachlan has been crawling everywhere.

Eat

Our little boy loves to eat now! He likes going to restaurants and sitting in a high chair. He has not yet got the concept of keeping food on the plates at restaurants though.

The End

Isabella would not put down the candy even when we came inside. She still kept carrying it around the house for days! This is the end of my halloween pictures. I'm actually kind of sad that its over.

Bowl

Isabella really liked the candy bowl. She was picking up all the different lollies and carrying them around, but she never once asked to eat one.

Candy

Isabella and Katie liked handing out the candy more than collecting it.

Bag

Dan told me that Isabella's collection bag was too big. I told him there was no such thing!

Loot

The girls stopped to check out their loot!

Break

The fairy and the ballerina took another break. Trick or treating is hard work!

Walk Old Joe Video

I sing Isabella a song called Walk Old Joe, so she sang it to her baby boy doll.

Dan's Friends

Isabella stopped to hang out with some friends of Dan's. They moved into our neighborhood the day before and i don't know that they were prepared for this many children trick or treating!

Halloween Chaos

It gets chaotic in our street on Halloween. People drop their kids off at our street because they know its a safe neighborhood.
