This will be Isabel's second Easter, but it really feels like her first, since last year she was only 3 months old and we were in Florida. We didn't take her to see the Easter bunny last year, but we did this year and will post the photo as soon as I have a chance to scan it!
We are headed down to Grandma Tina's house tomorrow for Easter after we attend the 9:00 a.m. service at Hosanna. We hope that Isabel takes a good nap in the car on the way down, and then that she will take at least a short nap in a pack n play during the afternoon while we are down there. We look forward to seeing our family and watching them get to know Isabel even more. She is at such a fun age right now!
On a side note I will take a moment to brag just a TEENSY bit about Isabel (mommies are allowed to do that from time to time!). I took her in for her 15-month appointment yesterday, and Dr. Williams was very impressed that she knows how to point to so many body parts (nose, teeth, ears, eyes, head, hair, toes, hands, tummy). Dr. Williams said that they don't usually expect to see that until a child is two years old! I think our parenting style is just to take every opportunity to teach her something new, but to make it fun like a game. That is how she learned those body parts, and also how she has learned to identify lots of objects in books, or certain toys when we ask her where they are. Isabel, your intelligence is a gift from God, and I will continue to pray that you will use it all for His glory and to impact the world and God's kingdom. She also has a pretty extensive vocabulary for her age...look out world, when she really learns to talk in complete sentences, I don't know if any of us will ever get a word in edgewise!!
Blessings on your Easter as you celebrate the resurrection of the One who saved us, loves us more than we can even imagine, and gives meaning and purpose to our lives.
