New toys, a party, a sunday paper and a dentist appointment

It is still only the 4th of August and we have had so much fun! Now that Isabella is becoming more independent by the day and the sun has been shining, we have left the balcony door open so that Isabella can come and go as she pleases. She really likes to do that and she has become very efficient in getting in and out.









That led us to getting a large foam puzzle for Isabella to play on since the balcony is made of concrete and it is cold even on a warm day! She loves it and apparently it tastes good too!

Yesterday she was able to read the paper again with her daddy...she had so much fun 'reading'...or was that ripping??? Fun, Fun, Fun!!! We also went to Taneli's cousin's confirmation party. Pretty much everyone in Finland do this at 15 years old. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately for you all) I didn't get any photos while I was there.
Today Isabella had her first dentist appt. Of course, she is 8 months old and has two teeth, why wouldn't a dentist want to check out the progress! It took a mere 2 minutes or so since the woman didn't really speak English. So she just looked at her teeth to confirm that they were there (and they were)...and then gave me some papers that apparently tell me all I need to know...in Finnish...but Taneli can read them.
