Morning Walks

One of my favorite parts of the day is taking Isabella for a walk in the morning before it gets too insanely hot. Of course we don't get to go on the days I work, darn work gets in the way of everything! I would have to say that my favorite baby item we have bought is our stroller, I love it. We almost didn't get one with the infant car seat attachment but we found one on clearance and now I am very glad for that. I am very much a person that needs a routine and we definitely have a summer routine going. We take the same route, first we meet the man walking his little white poodle, then we walk past the old man who is ALWAYS sitting outside just waiting for someone to stop and say hi. He always seems so happy but I can't help but think he must be so lonely. Then we stop at Church for a while to light a candle, say some prayers, and Isabella waves "bye bye" to Jesus. That all started when one day I told her we were going bye bye as I was looking at the tabernacle. So now she waves bye bye to Jesus in the tabernacle. I love it!! The other day we made a stop at the library. We have lived in this town for a year and a half, we live 6 blocks from the library and we have never been there before! We will definitely be going back on a regular basis from now on though. I'm afraid Isabella didn't do a very good job of obeying the "quiet rule" though. She loves to hear herself make noise, and the noise she usually makes is a VERY high pitched, loud squeal. She really prefers to make this noise in places such as Church, restaurants, libraries, and any public place in general. I don't think the librarian was too happy with us, but oh well. I tried giving her the pacifier but she wanted nothing to do with it, she really only likes it when she's sleepy.

I'm going to be so sad to see the summer come to an end. I'm enjoying every day, as I know our warm days are soon going to be numbered. I look forward to many summers ahead as we watch Isabella grow up, but for now I'm just enjoying having her the age she is!
