Soap Pony

Isabel has had a vocabulary explosion lately. She is at the point where she is putting together multiple words and coming up with her own phrases. One of them being Soap Pony. What is Soap Pony you ask? My Little Pony Toothpaste...of course. Apparently it looks like soap and of course...the pony. It's so funny. We use Soap Pony with our Hello Kitty toothbrush. We are on a mission to motivate Isabel to allow us to brush her teeth. So far Soap Pony and Hello Kitty worked really well for a couple days, but the magic is wearing off. Let's hope I can find some other varieties of Soap Pony at the grocery store.


Here is a video during our Soap Pony craze...right before bath time. Ignore Ben as he talks on the phone while filming...

Here we go again!

Almost exactly two years ago we were planning the first addition to our family...and here we are with baby #2 in the works. We found out we were blessed with baby #2 just before Christmas...so Isabel and I made stockings to share the good news. Ben was shocked and excited. Both sets of our parents also had fun reactions to our "method" of sharing the news. We caught them all on tape. The funniest reaction we caught on tape was Ben telling Isabel she was going to be a big sister...and then she proceeded to hit herself on the head! I'll have to see if I can get Ben to shorten that video clip to share...too funny.

We had an ultrasound last week...I was officially 18 weeks and 6 days. The doctor burned all of our baby photos to a cd and tada...funky monkey #2:

The baby's face...you can see the skull and eye sockets really clearly...kind of alien-ish though! The cute little baby's profile.The baby stretching out "its" legs. No...we didn't find out the gender! It's a surprise!Trying to get its thumb into its mouth. The spine, butt and knees. Full body shot from the back.

Chop Chop

As you can see, Isabel was finally ready for her first haircut. Her hair was CRAZY...always in her face...party in front and party in back. So we attempted the first haircut with the girl that also cuts my hair. Lucky thing that she was so patient with me and Isabel...

Clearly the cape idea is not going over well!" Ewww, it tickles."

"You are going to pay for this...just wait."

"You are lucky you brought me a milk shake. I'm still not happy."

"What the heck did you do to me? "Oh...it's not that bad...I kind of like it. Now give me my shake back!"Complete day at the salon for the girls...Isabel even left with a ring pop...such fun! My grown up baby girl..."Oh wow, I can see the tv so clearly...my hair isn't in the way anymore!"
