July Fun ... and Isaac's first dentist trip

We've had some low-key weekends trying to enjoy our last days of quiet, getting in lots of QT with Isaac and getting the house ready for baby girl. I can't believe we're only a little over a week away from being a family of 4! We are still really enjoying the pool - and loving the new glider we got for the baby's room. Isaac is almost 23 months and as my friend Genevieve has said about every age so far - I LOVE THIS AGE!! He is talking so much and singing all the time, he has such a cute little personality and I am cherishing every minute with him. He finishes all Bill's sentences when he reads his favorite books, he is getting great at the ABCs song and when you count 1, 2, 3 - he can finish all the way up to 10! I really hope bringing home the baby doesn't change our happy little man's personality ...

Because we want to keep life for Isaac as stable as possible, we are keeping Cesi on after we have the baby, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. As you can see from the pictures below, he is having a great summer with Cesi and his friends, including lots of pool time, playdates with Lussa, Cole, and Cesi's nephew Noah, and even a field trip to the zoo this week that looks like it was a blast.

Finally, Isaac had his first trip to the dentist this week. We went to a local dentist who is also a friend from the Hill. She has a baby a little older than Isaac and a new baby only a couple of weeks old. She came in to pick up some baby gifts while we were there and couldn't resist examining Isaac, which worked out great because he was totally comfortable with her. Cesi came with me to the appointment because I got my teeth cleaned too - between the two of us, we pulled it off without any drama and no cavities for either of us!
