Last week Alex and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. At times, our wedding seems like it was yesterday, but living in St. Louis is starting to seem like a long time ago.
I hope we are finished teething for awhile. Isla hasn’t been too unhappy, but she’s had a pathetically stuffy nose. (She has all four front teeth now.)
It was great to catch up with Abbe and Allan as they stopped by with the boys on their way to and from Hilton Head.
And of course we played:
We have been doing a lot of teething around the Nolan household lately. One bottom tooth and one top tooth have broken through and we are waiting on two more that we can see just below her gums—Exciting, I know.
Last Sunday, the weather was beautiful, so we took Isla to the White Water Center. It’s a neat little (well, huge) place that we frequent, but strangely enough have never participated in anything related to white water. The U.S. Olympic team trains there, and anyone can go down the rapids, but we just hike or ride bikes on the trails and enjoy the good food at the restaurant.
Isla’s First “Hike”
And happy 7 months, Isla! We had a very relaxed yet enjoyable weekend hanging out with friends. Last week, we discovered that the outdoor pool at our YMCA is surprisingly very nice complete with splash park, waterslides, and large kiddie pool, so we decided to head back today. Isla seemed a little leery of the water on her first visit but enjoyed every minute of today (except when I accidently dunked her) causing dreams of days as a triathle dad to start whirling in Alex’s mind. Her chubby little legs are so buoyant that she can almost float :)
