The latest

Well since I can't seem to get photos to load lately, I thought I would at least provide a written update.

Last Friday we went to the Bellevue East vs West Football Game. It was a night of firsts. Isaac's first football game, Shawn's first sleepover, and our first double sleepover (both kids having friends over on the same night). It was a beautiful night and the game was intense (well...at least it was after we left).

Sunday we went to the airshow. Everyone had a good time.

This week has been busy but good. Daycare has lots of bugs going around. We are in the clear so far so we will keep our fingers crossed that Isaac stays healthy.

Chad and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on Wednesday. We got new couches this summer and weren't supposed to be getting gifts. However, we all know how well husbands listen so at dinner I shouldn't have been surprised when a gift showed up with flowers. Chad got me a new camera - a Cannon SLR!!! It is a very nice digital camera and the pictures appear to be great. Can't wait to drive my kids batty with the new camera.... SAY CHEESE!!!

Mom, Dad and Annie come to visit tomorrow. Hopefully pictures will post tomorrow. The ones with Isaac at the airshow with headphones on are so funny!

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.
