My supervisor took some of us out to lunch today - for Vietnamese. It was very yummy. And I managed to leave on time today.
Got home and had a nap with Isobel. She even crawled under the covers with me and did not freak out over them as normal.
I walked through the park with Isobel and grandma to the mall where I left them to go meet up with Jon for our date night. We went to the Cactus Club for dinner and then to Imperial Hobbies to play some board games.
When we got home Isobel was asleep. She hardly missed us (only got upset at the idea of having a bath so that was slipped) and went to bed without any crying.

155/365 - Kisses for Grandpa
Isobel will kiss the picture of Grandpa (and Grandma) sometimes. There's usually a photo of her Poppa and Nana when they got married, but Jon took it to work to scan it and hasn't put it back yet. We really should put out a more recent photo of them for her.
Today was a back at work day. I also ended up working for about eleven hours today. Poor Isobel! She was so clingy today, and warm (my mom suspects more teething) and she just wanted to breastfeed. My mom called over an hour after I normally leave to let me know Isobel wanted milk. So my mom gave her a bottle and Isobel slept for almost two hours before I called to say I was finally leaving work. I only just beat Jon home.
Jon made banana pancakes for dinner and is just putting Isobel to bed, although it doesn't seem to be going to well from all the noise she's making.

154/365 - Picking up Grandma in Chilliwack
It was a long day of being in the car today.
Jon and I woke up to find that during the night Isobel had crawled into bed with us. We got up and got ready to drive out to Chilliwack to pick up Grandma from Great Aunt Joan's. Isobel fell asleep by the time we got to Langley and woke up on the other side of Abbotsford. After listening to the screaming before she fell asleep I think any major road trip holidays are out of the question for this summer.
We had a nice visit with Great Aunt Joan before heading over to Nana Althea's.
We had a lunch at Nana Althea's - yummy baking powder biscuits and then began the long drive home. Again, Isobel slept most of the car ride.
Jon and I took Isobel into the pool for a bit. We were tired so we ordered pizza and bread sticks for dinner. Isobel actually ate some of the pizza - normally she turns up her nose at it.
Jon's just putting her to bed now.

153/365 - Easter Sunday
Isobel woke us up early, as normal. She breastfed in bed for a little while and then we got up so Isobel could find the eggs the easter bunny left her. She found most, with some help.
Got dressed and headed to the grocery store for a few items.
Jon and Isobel made evil brownies. And then some friends came over to visit: Matty, Mike and Julia, Julia Ko, Angel and her new guy, and Brian and Kayo.
We ordered Thai House for lunch (before Brian and Kayo arrived though). And then we all headed to the park to blow bubbles and feed bunnies. It was a very fun afternoon, even though Isobel only wanted Auntie Angel - mommy and daddy hardly exist whenever Auntie Angel's around.
Jon, Isobel and I vegged after everyone left. Actually Jon and I played FF13 while Isobel napped.
Isobel tried mild green curry sauce with rice. Except for the spiciness she really seemed to like it.
Jon bathed Isobel and is now putting her to bed.

152/365 - 17 Months Old
We all got up in the morning and drove my mom out to Langley. She's spending the weekend with my aunt. Fortunately for us Isobel managed to sleep the entire car ride - there and back.
I had a headache, so Jon let me go back back to bed for a couple of hours while he played with Isobel.
Jeff and Louise came over to take us for a birthday lunch for me. We tried a sushi place near our apartment and had all you can eat. It was very good and filling. Isobel loved the edamame.
After lunch we took the long way home, stopping at the mall to pick up some carrots for the bunnies in the park. Had a nice visit with them.
Jon made dinner of burritos after Jeff and Louise left. I bathed Isobel while he took down the garbage and recycling. Got Isobel's monthly picture with her penguin and then put her to bed. Jon and I watched some more Mad Men episodes before going to bed ourselves.

151/365 - Reading with Mike and Julia
Jon got an email from Julia yesterday saying that her and Mike were coming into town for the weekend. So we left Isobel at home with grandma and met up with then at Toys R Us (where we got Isobel some Thomas the Train engines to play with).
We then headed to Drexoll so that Jon could pick me up my birthday present (the two expansions to Small World) and we played Galaxy Trucker. The best part of the game was building the ship. It was a good game, but too many little pieces and we already have a lot of games with little pieces. Plus there are other games that I would prefer.
We then walked to Mongolie Grill for lunch. Drove to the good cinnamon bun place and picked up a baker's dozen to bring home.
Matty was already there when we arrived back at our apartment. Isobel was a little shy at first but warmed up to Mike and Julia really quickly. She made everyone read to her. And Julia drank some pretend soup for Isobel, played the role of Isobel's pony, and taught her the art of sticking pennies in between her toes. Isobel also got to feed Mike jello. In other words, Julia and Mike were a big hit with Isobel.
Isobel got to bed late, 8:30pm just as Matty, Mike and Julia were leaving. Jon and I were both in bed shortly thereafter. It's amazing how tired we are now that we have a baby/toddler.

150/365 - Isobel's Purse
I had the day off today. Normally, I try to take my birthday off but I decided to take the next day instead to make it a five day weekend for me instead.
We had a busy day today. We went to the grocery store in the morning to pick up a few things. Then we left Jon, he started work at noon today, and headed out to Langley to visit with a family friend, Veronica. It was a very nice visit over coffee. Grandma bought Isobel this pink kitten purse as Isobel was very keen on it. She carried it around the mall for a little while and then carried it around at home once we got there.
On the way home we ran a couple of errands, and then I decided to drive into Vancouver to pick up the photos from the Bopomo photo shoot last weekend, before going home. Luckily for me, Isobel co-operated and slept on the way there. Grandma got Isobel a soft ice cream cone while I picked up the photos. I'm very happy with how they turned out.
We got home and I decided that Isobel and I should go pick up Jon from work and show him the photos. Being the day before a long weekend I assumed that it would be super busy there, but it wasn't. We were super early, so Isobel and I played in the waiting room while we waited for Jon to get off.
We were almost half way home when I realized that I left my keys at Jon's work and the only clicker for our parking garage is on my key set. So Jon hightailed back to work to get the keys while Isobel and I checked out Chapters and waited for him.
On the way home we stopped at Richmond Center to pick up Sherlock Holmes (which we're watching now) and some buns to go with dinner. Took the route through the park to feed the bunnies some carrots and came home for dinner.
Gave Isobel a bath and washed her hair. Jon put her to bed.
