To start Elizabeth is just a giggle box when she's getting to explore her environment in new and exciting ways. Who knew stuff like light switches could be so much fun...
Brrittani (our employee) and her husband Jeremy (both past clients) invited us over for dinner. It was an excellent meal, but Izzy had to have some bread. We didn't quite capture the real moment, since what's not obvious here is she has an entire piece of bread in her mouth. Her hand is covering what won't fit, as she tried to push it in but still chew whats already there. Needless to say she was eventually successful, but it's just a matter of time before she's threatening her uncle's record of multiple McDonalds cheeseburgers in one bite. 
Yes, we live in a flawless Mediterranean climate, but it actually rained this day. Some borderline hurricane was hitting the Baja peninsula several hundred miles south of us and we got whacked by a big storm. At least that's how the news reported it. In truth it drizzled some, and there were times it actually filled the gutters enough to make for Izzy's first real rain. She was fascinated since she'd never seen the water come out of anything but the sprinklers before. It didn't hurt that mommy let her play with her old cell phone which she loves to say "Hi" into. Apparently she sees mom and dad do that enough that she understands exactly what they're for.
Izzy's first punishment for dad is her joy of climbing. He tortured his mother and dad, so she's bound an determined to climb up anything she can find so he truly appreciates the torture he put everyone through. For a kid that learned how to walk two months ago, she's already learned how to push her chair over to the dinning room chair to climb all the way up onto the dinning room table. She's so proud of her accomplishment, that every time she gets to the top she plops down on her bottom and cheers for herself. Typically this involves clapping and always a giant grin and giggle... 
As a final note, Izzy's hair is getting longer these days. We haven't done haircut #1 yet, but her bangs are starting to get pretty long. This awesome hair style is actually courtesy of mom, not dad. It was just one of those tub moments that couldn't be missed.
Other stuff for us this week is that the Steelers are 3-o and so are the Cowboys. Unfortunately we can't same the same for our local Chargers. Hopefully the Padres can hold on to make the post season, and our clients stop springing surprises on us like they haven't filed their taxes yet (oops).
Sampson is fighting his allergy's, and both he and Sierra are staring to learn that the Izzy loves to chase them for a hug. Sampson is much better at just leaving, but Sierra isn't too keen on her space being violated. However she loves to play with Izzy when she was the ball and it's keep away. Needless to say the baby is oblivious to any distinction and just wants to love on everyone, which is normally a great compliment. Of course to sleeping animals or even exhausted parents, that can sometimes be a bit more than we're ready for...
