WELCOME TO MOMOMUNCHKIN'S BLOG...FOLLOW ME ON MY JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE!!
"Zoom, zoom, zoom, we're going to the moon."

Isabelle and I went to Motoring Munchkins today at the Arenex. It's mostly for older kids so they can run around but it's free for kids under a year old so we thought we would check it out. Isabelle had lots of fun there. We even met up with some of her friends: Ariel, Nicole, Daniel, and Olivia.
Isabelle having fun on the little pony.
Isabelle and I on the trampoline. She was giggling.
Ben looking a little tired.
Ariel and Isabelle enjoying the swing.
Isabelle trying on Ben's sunglasses. They're the kind that stays strapped to your head.
Isabelle decided that she was going to learn how to clap today at Mother Goose. She's been putting her hands together for a while now but today she was actually clapping along to the songs when everyone else was clapping. Yay, Isabelle!! Thanks to Ben's Mom for the great picture.
"Where are we going?"We all went out to White Rock today to enjoy the nice weather we're having. It was pretty chilly and very windy down by the water but it was still a lot of fun. Isabelle was pretty tired on the trip out there because it was cutting into her nap time but she was super excited once we got there.
Daddy and Momomunchkin
Isabelle was all smiles during the walk. She even fell asleep with all that fresh air.
"What's that you say? Almost 21 lbs??"
"Perhaps I should cut back on the all-night buffets!" 
Charlotte and Nicole Isabelle and I were invited over to Charlotte's place for a play date today. Isabelle had lots of fun there playing with all the different toys and all of her friends. Thanks for having us over!!!
Top to bottom: Isabelle, Sarah, Ariel, Holly, and Ben.
Isabelle and I took a quick trip to the mall yesterday. I wasn't expecting to find anything in particular but when we went to check out The Bay, we found a great bargain on some swimwear. There wasn't much of a selection in styles and colours but for 50% off the ticket price, who could really complain. At least with this little outfit, I won't lose her in the pool. :o) 
This is her new facial expression that she is hooked on, sticking her tongue out a little bit between her lips. The other one is of her pursing her lips together and making short, excited "Mmmmm" sounds over and over again.
I have a picture of Isabelle as my desktop image and for the past week, I've been pointing to the picture and repeating the question, "Where's the Momo? There she is." Now everytime I say it, she'll look over at the computer from wherever she may be sitting. She loves the mirror and now she's into pictures of herself...I wonder if she's a bit of a narcissist. :o)
We all went out to enjoy the sunshine today but it was chilly with a pretty strong wind so Isabelle had to wear her hat. We walked down by the river and walked around the New Westminster Quay.
Don't ask me what she's doing but I'm guessing she's just exploring her hands still and trying to fine tune her hand-eye coordination. If I say "E.T Phone Home" and make a similar hand gesture, she imitates. What a funny little Momomunchkin.
Isabelle was trying to pull herself up to get some toys from her toy basket. I don't think she's trying to stand but she was making an honest effort to get something. In the end, all she managed to pull out was the little rabbit rattle. Better fishing next time!!
The Birthday Boy

Finley: "Why is everyone crying??"
Isabelle and I went over to Kai's house today for a visit and then we went out for a late lunch. I hadn't been out of the house for a long time because of my cold and the work I've been doing from home. It was nice to finally get out of the house, I was starting to feel a bit like a troll. Thanks for the little visit...it was great. :o)
Isabelle officially has teeth now. The other bottom central incisor has cut through and she's busy brushing her teeth.
"Get out of my way, Daddy!!"
The picture on the right is a picture of Isabelle's Daddy when he was 6 years old. Now I can totally see the resemblance that everyone has been talking about.
Daddy put a little hip hop music on today and we soon realized that Isabelle likes some pretty upbeat music. She loves this one song by Sean Paul called Temperature. Everytime it comes on, she gets all happy and likes jumping around. It's pretty funny to watch.
I've discovered that Isabelle should only be given soft toys from now on...well, at least until she gets over the whole teething thing. I noticed the other day when I picked up one of her hard plastic blocks that there were scratch marks all over them. I even found one that had a pretty big gouge missing. With her one tooth, she's been chomping away at her toys. We don't want her to wear down her one tooth before it fully comes through and I also don't want her ingesting little plastic shavings. 
"I can still have fun with a cloth Mommy."
I have been trying very hard not to promote blowing raspberries to Isabelle but she has gone ahead and mastered it anyway. She's been doing it a little on and off since she started eating solids (just over a month), but today she decided that it was going to be the only thing she wanted to "say." Here she is about 10 minutes before going to sleep and she just wouldn't stop. I have to admit, it's pretty funny.
