Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a lovely day.  Lots of good food, plenty of pie, and friends and family to spend the day with.  Isaac refused to take a nap, so he barely made it through dinner before he fell apart and needed to head to bed.  He sure played hard, though! Chillin’ with the fellas: Playing with…

Isaac’s first Easter

We had beautiful weather for Easter.  Perfect weather for a family photo!  Out of about a hundred tries, we got ONE where all three of us were looking at the camera.  Whew, it is a lot harder to get Isaac to look at the camera than it used to be.  Forget about smiling, lol. I…

Merry Christmas!

Emily left yesterday, Mom left this morning, and I’m sitting here feeling just a little bit sad that our Christmas holiday is over :(.  Okay, maybe a lot sad.  It was so nice to have everyone here! I wish Isaac could see his grandmother and aunts and uncles more than once or twice a year.…

October was a busy one!

It’s been one WHOLE month since I’ve posted!  I can’t believe it…but then, on the other hand, we’ve been so darn busy that really I can’t believe it’s only been a month. Some highlights (and lowlights) of the month of October: *Isaac turns 6 months old! *We had baby’s first visit to the pumpkin patch,…

Playing with Aunt Rachel

Isaac makes the most hilarious “growling” sounds when he’s munching down on your finger.  He loves chewing on hands, faces, anything that comes near, and his little noises just crack us up!  Of course, I can never seem to catch it on camera…

Friday fun

What’s been happening around our house lately? -We pulled a new (to us, anyway) toy out of the basement for Isaac!  He loves it :). He also loves the view it gives him of the animals. He really enjoys it and bounces away about twice a day.  He loves the toys and will stop bouncing,…

Vermont!

Last week, Rachel graduated from her Master’s program at Middlebury College in Vermont.  Chris, Isaac and I, Mom and Uncle Ben all piled in our car for the 8 hour road trip.  It went pretty darn well for a trip with a 3 1/2 month old.  Isaac was happy to sleep and play, and barely…

fancy duds and saying goodbye to Uncle Ben

Isaac is wearing a vintage little blue bubble suit (I think that’s what it’s called), given to him by Mimi.  Isn’t he handsome in his fancy clothes? See how well he stands?  Isaac has some veeerrrry strong legs.  He’s constantly pushing up to stand anytime his feet hit a solid surface.  It’s his favorite thing…

Loving his aunt and uncle

Isaac has really enjoyed Uncle Ben and Aunt Rachel’s visit!  He lights up whenever they’re nearby, and is always ready with a big smile for them.  Plus, they’ve been a huge help to me – helping with dishes, cooking dinner, keeping the baby happy while I take showers or do laundry.  It’s wonderful! Big smiles…

Aunt Rachel visits

Isaac got to meet his Aunt Rachel this week!  She arrived home from Moscow on Monday night and spent two days with us before heading back home to Louisiana. The rest of the pictures of the two of them together are on her camera – I’ll have to get them when she comes back from…
