Today we tried zucchini. Kirby did not like it.
Isadora did, despite the look on her face. She was just tired and getting a little fussy.
She had a very short nap because we had to wake her up so we could go to City Hall to see our friends, Chris and Tina, get married. (Congratulations! We’re so happy for you!)

Izzy was mad at first, but quickly recovered. We headed out to City Hall, and she continued to stay awake. We waited around for about an hour while photos were taken and other couples were married. Izzy remained awake and cheerful. We were amazed. After the ceremony, we went to Makeydah to eat and celebrate. On the way there, we stopped at Whole Foods to pick up a few things for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving dinner dish. Izzy remained awake and cheerful. I thought for sure she’d melt down or fall asleep once we made it to the restaurant. Nope. Izzy remained awake and cheerful. She even got passed around the table and made many new friends. She charmed them left and right. Dinner was over, and some folks were going to continue the celebration. I felt I pushed my luck as far as I should and asked Mitch to take me home. On our way out the door, the Maitre d’ told me I had a beautiful baby. He thought his grandchildren were good looking, but my baby, she was beautiful. We got home and Izzy got tangled up in one of her chairs (don’t ask me how) and cried until we rescued her. She shook it off quickly and went back to being a very awake and cheerful baby. I fed her some more zucchini and got her ready for bed. She fell asleep quickly and is still sleeping peacefully. I’m starting to get the idea I have something kind of special with my little Izzy.
I was shopping at Whole Foods today with Lady KT. I was interrupted a couple of times by strangers asking about Isadora. It always happens, and I don’t mind. She’s pretty awesome and if someone wants to ask about her, who am I to shield them from Izzy’s awesomeness? Everyone should know how great she is.
As I was standing in the check out line, KT and I noticed a woman barreling towards us, knocking into people and other carts. She had that glint in her eye, like she was on a mission. Turns out she was. She tossed an apology over her shoulder to the to the blood bath in her wake, saying, “Sorry, but I just HAVE to get a closer look at that baby!”
Now I know Izzy is cute and all, but to maim people, crush bread, and bruise apples just to get a closer look at sweet, beautiful face is just craziness. We’re in no hurry to dash away from deserving appreciation of her beauty. All we ask is that you politely wait your turn to shower the baby with adoration.
