What we've been up to...

June was a busy but fun month. We went lots of places and Isabelle is a whole new baby.

We took a spontaneous trip to visit my sister in San Diego. Isabelle did pretty good in the car most of the time. I gave her a biter biscuit for the first time (not knowing quite how messy they were) and it kept her happy for a LONG time! 10 wet wipes later, everything was clean again. After we made it to San Diego, we found new teeth! No wonder she was a little grumpier in the car than usual.

Jake also did great in the car for the long treck.

Isabelle had so much fun in San Diego playing with Andrew. They are just 3 weeks apart and had so much fun drooling on each other and playing the hat game. (Jill this picture is for you. Izzy misses you and she loves the dress you gave her!) While there we went to the beach, went swimming, and played LOTS of games!!
After getting home from San Diego, we took a camping/boating trip to Yuba Lake with Mike's cousins. I forgot my camera. :( Isabelle loved the sand and thought it tasted pretty good. She tried to shovel it in by the handful. It was fun to go camping again. It's been a long time since Mike and I have camped. We used to go all the time. I got to do a little fishing too. I didn't catch anything.

We came home and went camping up American Fork Canyon with our neighbors. Mike promised me a camping trip that I could do a little more fishing. I fished Tibble Fork and once again didn't catch anything, but still had fun. I had a grand encounter with a moose. But forgot my camera on this trip too. :(

All this time, Isabelle has gotten all the kinks out of crawling and is all over the place. She still prefers to do more a bear crawl on her toes. She doesn't like to crawl on her knees. I'm shocked at how fast she can go on those tippy toes.
She has discovered the stairs and also had her first great tumble down them.
She pulls herself up to everything and now greets me standing proudly in her crib after naps.
She has found Jake's toys to be so much more entertaining than her own. They love to share them despite my efforts to help her mind her own business. Jake leaves her toys alone, but the other isn't true yet.
Now that she controls where she goes, Jake is a magnet. She likes to lay and suck on him....I know gross!

Isabelle is officially a tummy sleeper and continues to be an amazing sleeper! Nothing cuter than a sleeping baby.

Yeah, another post from Julie. I hadn't heard from you in a while (not even that long I just check all my friends blogs like once a week) and I was wondering what you guys were up to so thanks for the update. Looks like you guys are having a lot of fun! I'm jealous of your camping trip. We're going to try to get a couple over nighter camping trips in this summer (easier said than done...).

I didn't know you went to San Diego. It seems like I don't know anything that's going on since we don't have the sister get togethers right now. It sounds like lots of fun. I love that top picture of Isabelle where she is sticking out her tongue!
