And hanging out with Isabelle's cousin Gabriel:

Issy's had a sort of rocky relationship with Gabriel. Despite being only two months older than she, Gabriel is way more advanced in the walking, eating and talking departments, and I think Isabelle is a little bit intimidated. Gabriel can do a lot of things she can't, and actually inspired her to learn how to climb the stairs and drink from a big-girl cup, so in all, it was a fruitful partnership, but there were some growing pains for sure.
By the end of the trip they eventually got to be friends, and it was hilarious:

We can't wait to go back for Christmas!
