Caught!

She decided to wear the top to Ione's swimsuit too. As you can see, it doesn't quite fit. It was so tight on her head, it made her eyes squint!

She Loves to Swim

Isabella started swimming lessons last week. She's taking lessons for 30 minutes every afternoon at The Houston Swim Club. She's doing so well!! Before we started, she was afraid to get in the water without holding on to us with a death-grip! Now she can float on her back (on her own) and hold her breath to go under water. She even swims to the bottom of the pool to pick up swim rings. It's incredible!
On a side note, we do have a dilemma every day trying to decide which swimsuit to wear. She has 3 one-pieces: Princess Ariel, Disney Princess, and a white one with polka dots. A few days ago we bought matching two-piece suits for the girls. Since they were on sale, there weren't many left. We got Ione an 18 month, and Isabella size 5 (she normally wears 3 or 4.) In this picture, Isabella is wearing her size 5 top, but her size 5 bottoms fall off of her. So, she's wearing Ione's (size, 18 month), which explains why they are a little small on her! She was insistent that she wear her new "separated" swim suit to swim lessons yesterday. I figured she was happy, and it certainly wasn't falling off, so she wore it...

Happy Baby

Sometimes I get lucky and catch a really great smile!

Girls and Dolls

The girls love their baby dolls! Lately, both of them take a baby doll almost everywhere we go. It's sweet to see Ione pat her baby on the back while she holds her. Isabella has done a great job of teaching Ione how to handle a baby doll properly! ;)

Little "Snow White"

Isabella has a closet full of dress-up clothes. A few days ago, she decided to dress Ione in her Snow White costume. Surprisingly, it fit her really well. Ione is always proud to do something like her big sister! :)

Isabella's First Sleepover!

Isabella had a friend sleepover for the first time a couple of weekends ago. Daddy was gone for the weekend so the girls had the house to them selves. The girls watched movies and painted fingernails while the mommies chatted and ate desserts! It was a great night.

Daddy's New Chair

The girls gave Daddy a Hammock Chair for Father's Day. It also came with a cool collapsable tripod for easy storage and travel. Isabella was the first one to try it out.
