Making a Joyful Noise

4 month stats

Isaac actually turned 4 months old on the 11th but we had his check up (and shots) today. Here are the 4 month stats:

Height: 26 inches
Weight: 17 lbs 1 oz
Head Circumference: 42.5 cm

He is still measuring in about the 75%-90% in everything but head size. That is in the 25%-50%.



At 4 months he can:

Roll over back to belly, belly to back, and both in conjunction which has made him mobile!!!

Babble non-stop

Giggle

Spot Mom and Dad when we call his name

Eat his fingers

Sleep 10 p.m. - 6 a.m.

Listen to books (and is starting to grab at the pages to help turn them)

Smile at his brothers

Starting to reach for stuff at the table (won't be long till we start cereal!)

Overall... He is a great baby. He sleeps and eats great. He rarely cries and is generally just soooo cute and cuddly! Lately, when I take him and pick him up from daycare, he wraps his hands around my neck and snuggles in. I LOVE IT!!! Being his mommy is great!

Rolling Rolling Rolling

Picture Perfect -



Isaac loves being on his tummy lately (since he just figured out how to get there from him back). Last night he was playing and talking to Daddy on the floor.



All tuckered out in the swing!



Yep - He's even rolling over in his sleep. This is how we found him during his nap.

I will try reposting tomorrow

CAUGHT in action

Thursday night was the first time Isaac rolled from his back to his tummy. When he did it again tonight I thought I would try to catch it on tape. Who knew I would get him rolling over both directions. Here's the proof! We have a roller!

The Lake

We made a trip to the lake this past weekend to end the summer. Our family joined with two others to let the kids swim and boat. Isaac and Malachi didn't do much but try to beat the heat in the shade but Isaac did venture into the water for his first "lake swim." The water reminds me of Clear Lake where I grew up.







Sadly, summer has come and gone and school starts soon (Tomorrow for me and next Tues for the boys.) Isaac successfully transitioned to daycare - Sad Sad Sad. He is 4 months old today!!! WOW - My baby is growing up so fast. I will try to post more pics this weekend. Since I start school tomorrow, I don't have high hopes of getting on my computer much beyond my schoolwork till then.

I love it

Over one of our visits to Clear Lake this summer, my aunts gave us an exersaucer for Isaac. What a nice gift! We loved it though we weren't sure how long it would be until Isaac was able to use it. Well, he is working on sitting up on his own and is almost 4 months old so we put it together last Friday and Isaac loves it!






What a ham!

(We love it too... He is contained and entertained!)

Thank you Aunts!

The boys are back in town!

So Chris and Shawn returned on Sunday. I don't know what order the pictures are in but there is one of Chris and Shawn by the pool, Big Brother with Littlest Brother, Chris and Sean Ramirez at Football tonight, one of Shawn celebrating his birthday last night and one of Isaac helping me study last night!

Malachi got out of the hospital today and he has a new sister too... The Ramirez family added Zarina Renee to their family today through adoption.

Pray for Malachi

Malachi (my friend Jill's son) is in the hospital. He spiked a fever last night and was admitted this morning. They are running a bunch of tests but as of now have no definite diagnosis of what's going on with him. They believe that he does not have Menengitis...Thankfully! This was one of the original thinkings since his high fever was not accompanied by any other symptoms. Please keep him and his family in your prayers over the next 48 hours while he is in the hospital. It's hard for such a little guy to have so much done to him (all the pricks and pokes at just 1 month of age!).


Thank you in advance -
