I'm sorry that I didn't take any group pics, family pics, or simply MORE pics...as there were lots of fun people in attendance. It was so much fun to catch up with everyone...and the most beautiful day to celebrate Meg. We love you!

Today we took Izzy to the pediatrician...and it was confirmed that she has yet another ear infection. This being said, Izzy has been a little fussy lately around bedtime. She has needed some extra TLC and snuggling, so I didn't want to let her "cry it out" like we used to for bedtime (she hasn't fought nighttime sleep in months). Anyway, tonight I went to her in her crib and simply brought her back down to calm her (similar to what we did on Mother's Day). It was an hour past her bedtime and she decided to show off her new trick: shaking her head back and forth. We were laughing so hard...and finally decided to get the camera. I think she made herself dizzy, as she ends up spitting up at the end of this clip. She's too stinking cute!

She loved the bath in the sink
Looking at the lake with Grandma
Eating a pretzel rod (her new fave) along with cheerios and strawberries. Like the towel we used as a bib? Forgot the bibs at home - whoops!
We spent this last weekend at Mike's mom's lake in northern Indiana. It was one of the most relaxing trips there I've ever had. Something about adding a happy baby to the mix really makes everyday life and trips so much fun!
Izzy had her first boat ride & I don't really think she even noticed we weren't on land anymore. She continued to play with her toys (grandma brought the exersaucer on the boat!!) like normal. We even showed her the water over the side of the boat and she still didn't register than anything was out of the ordinary. Maybe she's just really comfortable with the water like her daddy!
We spent most of the day on Saturday outside (with the exception of the 3 hour nap!) in the sun. That evening Izzy girl took a bath in the sink, sans baby tub, & Iz thought it was so much fun. Either that, or she was just excited to have all eyes on her.
Izzy has taken to enjoying gnawing on pretzel rods the past few weeks. Still no teeth, but loves to gum pretty much anything. Grandma had some cheerios, so we offered those to her as well. She was able to get them in her hands and then in her mouth, but even after sucking on them, she didn't swallow any. She did, however, love the strawberries daddy gave her. So much fun to watch her experience new foods & textures.
Looking forward to the next trip to the lake in June!!!

My girlfriend "tagged" me via bloggerspace. So I'm sharing several random things about myself:
What I was doing 10 yrs ago: early May 1998...I KNOW I had just finished my Junior year at IU and moved to Minneapolis for the summer for my internship at Target HQ. One of my roommates from that summer is still one of my best friends - Krazy Karen Kay. That was one crazy summer...partying in Madison!!! It's also the summer I met Deanna Murphy for the first time partying in Chicago one night (but I didn't remember meeting her-go figure- and we didn't become friends until a few years ago reconnecting at Banana Republic)!!!
Five things on my to do list for today: It's the end of the day. But I still have some things to do. 1. Real estate work to get done - counter offers and such. 2. Clean Izzy's bottles. 3. Clean the kitchen. 4. Pack for the weekend at the lake. 5. Clean carrot stain out of Izzy's outfit.
Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Pay off mortgage. Buy my mom a house. Quit all jobs. Travel. Have more bambinos...those petri dish kids are expensive!
Five places I have lived: Flint, MI. Hammond, LA. Hoffman Estates, IL. Bloomington, IN. Minneapolis, MN.
Five jobs I have had: Cashier @ Garibaldi's. Cashier @ Menards. Lifeguard. Cheerleading camp instructor. Clothes folder @ Banana Republic :)
I now tag Courtney, Katie, and Kristina. Have fun!!!

Mike petting sharks
Just chillin
Tuckered out after a long day in the sun!
After our cousin Steve & Nikki left this morning, Mike had the great idea to head downtown to the Indianapolis Zoo! I was chomping at the bit to see the baby elephant...I had a sneek peek yesterday during the Mini Marathon (we run past the zoo and each year the elephants head to the top of their hill to get an up-close and personal view of the runners).
So we packed up and headed down...the weather was sunny and 65, perfect day to go to the zoo! We saw all of the animals (except the dolphin show) enjoying the spring weather. The giraffes even had spring fever (Mike made me take pics but I refused to post them - too graphic)! My favorite were the elephants & Mike loved the monkeys and seals. He even got to pet some small sharks. No thank you. Izzy was able to see most of the animals from her stroller. It seemed that she enjoyed watching the other kids more than the animals at time. Too cute.
We may have to head back in a few months when the koala exhibit opens!
