Isabella is 15 months old today...

Wow...another month has passed and Isabella is 15 months old today. She will stand alone for just a few seconds....but, not quite walking yet. She has a few new words and actions. She will say 'backpack', 'boo boo' for blueberry, and will sign that she loves Keith or me without prompting. And when we offer her something to eat or drink, she will shake her head 'no' and say 'no'. She will 'meow' like a kitty and can identify her mouth, nose, eye, head, toe...tries to put her shoes and socks on and even put her arm through her pj's last night before me. Whoo Hoo....

We had another nasty cold that went on for a couple of weeks. The Pediatrician decided to put her on some meds which cleared it up, thank goodness.

We took our first trip to Myrtle Beach over the long Labor Day Weekend. Bella loved the pool and the ocean. She stayed in her float even in the room. And when we had her in the pool, she would just lay back and chill out. I think she would have just floated around all day. And she slept all night long in a different bed, room. I was really concerned about that. And the ride down and back, about 4 hours, was uneventful. Bella watched her DVD's, snacked, and snoozed. Way different from 6 months ago when 30 mins was about her limit. Bella rode her first Merry-Go-Round at the beach too. She wasn't quite sure of the thing she was sitting on at first, but loved the wind in her face.

We also had a photographer come out on the beach and take some photos. We should get those back in a few weeks. I will try and post some of those at that time. We just had the 'grandest time' on the Myrtle Beach Grandstand. And we can't wait to get back to the beach when Bella is walking. We are sure she will love the seashore when she can motor around on her feet instead of her knees.
