Isla's Great Uncle John was in the area for business today and we went over to visit him at his hotel. I've been telling Isla that we were going to see him for a few days and although I don't think she remembered him from Christmas, she was really excited. She kept telling me, "Show Great Uncle John paci!" "Show pigtail Great Uncle John?" with everything today. I told her we would see him after her nap (which she didn't actually take) and when I went in to get her after 1.5 hours of goofing around in her crib she bounced up and said, "See Great Uncle John!?!?"We drove to the beach and met Uncle John at his super swanky hotel. Of course Isla was pretty shy once we got there, but she warmed up in minutes and loved climbing on the big chair and looking at herself in the mirror. After that we walked to the beach. Isla was SO happy to be at the beach. We've been avoiding the beach a little bit this summer because she is SO obsessed with the water that 100% of any beach visit is spent corralling Isla and preventing her from running into the water. That hasn't changed! We spent our entire visit with Isla in the water. She spent about 45 minutes in the water, then got out and rolled around in the sand and got completely covered. We took off her clothes and Uncle John took Isla back in the waves and swam around with her to clean off all the sand. Then we wrapped her up in a town and she ran around with the towel on her head pretending to be a ghost. (We've been reading a lot of Halloween books).
Tonight she is sleeping soundly.
We miss you already Great Uncle John!

It looks like Isla had such a blast! At her age, I'd be doing the same!
