Oh the tales of the 7th week! At the end of last week Isla survived her first tornado warning. Despite her mother's childhood fears which stem from her early days in Helena, Isla has hopefully come out of this exciting afternoon without a phobia. I was a mess myself carrying Isla, leashed dogs, flashlight, diaper bag & a bottle of fizzy water (a necessity!) down to the ridiculously messy maze of a basement. Needless to say, all this was for nothing- and we are fine. New Haven was tornado free. I personally blame the media.

Other exciting events of the week: Isla took her first bottle successfully! Yay! Taylor enjoyed feeding her and Isla didn't seem to mind it too much (so far at least). Isla also hung out with her first baby friend, Kaelyn, at LuLu's. It was super fun. Kaelyn & Isla actually met in utero at their mommy's prenatal yoga class, so they are used to stretching out together.

We have enjoyed some beautifully cooler weather this week, so there have been several afternoons spent outdoors catching up with friends. We ventured to a new farmer's market, which is right in our neighborhood. Very lovely & convenient. Bath time is really becoming Taylor & I's favorite time of the day. It is so nice to all be together & Isla seems to really enjoy it. She is super cute all naked in her tub, and afterwards all cuddled up in a hooded towel. This little ritual definitely seems to help her sleep at night. The longest sleep stretch she has had now is 5 and a half hours! Go Isla!!
