Fun Times in Peoria

On April 30th, Isabella and I flew to Peoria with Grandma H. We were lucky enough to spend 2 weeks there after having my Mom (Grandma H.) with us for 10 days before. Isabella really enjoyed her time with her as I'm sure Mom loved seeing Isabella everyday! Luckily we had some nice days to play outside. Isabella loved playing and riding in the wagons at Grandma's house. She especially liked to pull "Puppy"and "Polly" around the driveway.

We also got to spend time visiting my Dad (Grandpa H.) and all of Isabella's aunt, uncles, and cousins. Unfortunately, Isabella is at the stage where she is acting very shy around all of new people and didn't want to leave my side. If she was around them long enough, she would eventually warm to them.

It has been fun to see how much Isabella is learning over the past month. Children really do learn so much so quickly! She can now count to 10 and the words in her vocabulary are always expanding. Just when you think she wouldn't or doesn't understand something....she somehow shows us that she did in fact get it!! I still don't think that she understands a new little baby will be joining us in a couple of more months though.

It is still hard to get a good picture of Isabella. She is always on the move and doesn't like getting her picture taken. So, here are some that I took while in Peoria.
