Carnival Day

I finally had a chance to go to the little carnival here in Brasilia - it's called Nicolandia. Mommy and Daddy took me, and we met up with my friends Ana and Michael. At first, I was not convinced it was going to be fun, but I was quickly convinced otherwise.

For the most part, we stuck to the pint-sized rides...

But, with a little moral support, I braved a couple "big kid" rides

We had a great time!

I'm sad to say Isla stayed home with Clea (who is very sweet, but obviously doesn't like to take pictures!) Oh well, something tells me Isla didn't mind!

Holiday (home) Photo Session

The other day, Isla and I dolled up in our matching, Nicaraguan dresses so Mommy could take pictures for this year's Christmas card. Isla wasn't really in the mood, even though I tried to make her smile. Needless to say, catching us both at our best was easier said than done!
We'll keep the "winning" shot a secret, but here's a sneak peek of some outtakes from our photo session...

Counting Down

It's getting exciting here around our casa...

The holidays are getting really close. I'm already working on my list for Santa, which of course, includes a lot of things pink, ballerina, and/or princess.

In a way, Santa has come a little early - look at this very cool parque Paolo is building for me! Well, it's for Isla too, but she'll need to get just a bit bigger.

Speaking of Isla... She sure is a messy eater!

...but, she cleans up nicely

...Aaaand, she's got two of the cutest little teeth - they just arrived!

She's got a while to catch up...

Quick Glimpse

Just a short video of Isla and I doing our thing: bouncing, giggling, and (in Isla's case) wiggling around!
