Movie Night, Pictures and Paci Update

We've designated Friday night as movie night at our house. Isabel seems to really look forward to watching a movie upstairs in the playroom. She's recently become fascinated with blankets and pretends to sleep and wants to be covered in blankets now. She doesn't have a blanket in her crib, so I guess it's new and exciting for her. Last night Brian opened up the hide-a-bed and Isabel watched 'Boos a Bees' (Beauty and the Beast) on it with her blankets. She had a good time.





Isabel did pretty good the first night without a paci. It took her a long long time to get to sleep, but once she was out, she didn't wake up until 7am. Naps are proving to be more difficult. She goes to sleep with a bit of a fuss and then only sleeps for about 45 minutes to an hour. This is a drastic reduction in napping. Last night she went to bed after about 15 minutes of freaking out, so we're making progress. She was up around 6am, but after changing her clothes and sheets Brian was able to talk her into sleeping a couple more hours.

Today we had pictures at JCP. What a disaster. I knew we were in for it when she wanted Brian to pose on his stomach with the kids on his back. Hello 1985. There were some really cute moments that she didn't catch because her stupid camera wasn't ready or 'didn't take.' What a joke. I could have taken much better pictures. Isabel was super uncooperative, but Logan was a superstar and was all smiles, although you can't tell from the pictures we got. It didn't help that it was approximately 105 degrees in the studio. She also made me move one of my arms for the family shoot in front of Brian. It was super awkward and I knew looked bad. Sure enough, it looks like my right arm ate a small child in the proofs. I should have just said something. On the positive...it was cheap. I had a 50% off coupon that made it around $50 for all of the pictures. We've had some really nice pictures with JCP in the past, but the last 2x's they've been rough. I guess you get what you pay for. I think we'll get a 'real' photographer for our Christmas pictures this year.

We're off to root for the US MNT in the Gold Cup tonight.
