Life's Maybes

It's crazy to think that this time last year, Michael and I were getting ready to add a little one to the Owston Family and now here she is walking and at the very early stages of talking. I swear she amazes us everyday!



Today we took Bear into a grooming place where we wash her ourselves and they have dogs painted on the walls. Since we were the only ones in there, we had Isabelle out of the stroller and she was walking around investigating everything! She went over to the wall where the dogs were painted and pointed to the dogs and as she did that, I said "Dog, doggie". She continued her investigation of the place, including waving to each car that pulled up or left that she saw through the front window. Then all of a sudden, she walked over to the wall and pointed to each one of the dogs painted on the wall and repetitively said "doh he" (her version of doggie). I stood there smiling from ear to ear saying, "yes, doggie".


On another note, Isabelle's old eating habits seem to be coming back and we cannot tell you how excited we are! Ever since she was sick in Jordan she has become such a finicky eater and now she is actually back to trying things that we give her or the things we are eating she is now interested in once again, instead of turning her head or taking it and throwing it on the ground. She had hot dogs for the first time at her Auntie Steph's house yesterday and LOVED them. So maybe with a bit of luck, Dr. Diab will give us some good news at her 12 month check up on the 31st? Maybe he will say that she is in a higher percentile for her weight? Maybe he will tell us that she can go from rear facing to forward facing in her car seat? Maybe?
