Bye bye!

Daddy and baby playing with his early father's day "pressie", his first American soccer ball!

A new set of words to add to Isla's vocabulary - she says, "bye bye!" and waves when you say it to her. And she's developed a fixation on playing with the dog bowls - I don't understand why. There is no dog food inside, or water, it can't possibly be attractive. Now that she's mobile, both on hand/foot and via the walker, she'll get to those bowls however she can. But during the day, Ross has rigged an ingenious way to keep her in the living room - putting down a dog blanket that is virtually impassable through use of a walker. Even if you take the bowls away or block her off, though, she isn't bothered much by it. Necessity is the mother of invention. And I'm a mother of a very active, and thankfully, content baby.
