This week has truly been a week of firsts! Isla's Aunt Christina & her boyfriend, practically her uncle, Chris came for a visit. It was so fun & we were so sad to see them go. Isla took immediately to Christina, as if she knew right away that she was family. It was amazing to see them together. I was also so very nice for me to spend such special quality time with my sister. The 5 of us explored a lot while they were here. Among Isla's firsts were...

-First visit to Miller's Pond, where she had her...

-First picnic

-First trip to the mall (she sure loved the lights there)

-First trip to the ocean!!

-First night out to dinner

-First time to the movies when her parents actually felt they could get & enjoy popcorn (2nd movie total)

-First long walk in her stroller

-First time stuck in New England's summer traffic

-First time in to see daddy's office at the architecture school

-First time to go over to dinner at a friend's house (Annelle & Alex!)- she slept in the middle of their bed the entire time without so much as a peep

-First time to meet her Auntie & Chris!!!

Of note this week, as Isla reaches 2 months (hard to believe!): She absolutely loves looking at lights of any kind, including the sun shinning through the trees. When we are on a walk outside she stares up at the light shinning through the trees the entire time, mesmerized. She continues to attempt to "talk," with a good portion of the day spent staring at others as they speak & moving her lips & tongue in unusual ways in response- with intermittent little "talking" attempts, in between the mouth moving. The noises are super cute! It seems we may have a talker on our hands...

P.S. Isla is enamored with her Auntie and misses her & Chris already!!
