I'm A Big Boy

Isaac loves to sit in the glider next to his puppy dog Scout. He is so photogenic! Lately, Isaac has discovered his feet. He plays with them all the time! He loves to remove his socks and then suck on the socks. Everything he can hold onto goes into his mouth. I'm certain he will be teething soon, as the drooling has increased to a steady waterfall of saliva. Oh how fast you are growing!

I Can Sit by Myself

Isaac has now learned how to sit up by himself! We discovered this on March 19th at Grandpa and Grandma Meyer's house. Isaac is practicing his balance while trying to sit. His big belly acts as an anchor and counter balances his head. :) We love our growing baby boy! He certainly does not miss a meal, as you can see by the picture! We just love his chubby cheeks!

Weekend Trip to Pomeroy and Story City

This past weekend, our family made a trip to see our grandparents in Pomeroy and Story City. On the car ride to Pomeroy, Matthew gave me an early birthday gift...a new Flip video camera! I was so excited to use this new gift! We got to Pomeroy and mom and dad had cooked a nice meal for us. Then Isaac played and cuddled with grandpa and grandma.

On Saturday morning, Matthew went with my dad to get dad's new boat. I loved watching how excited my dad was to get his boat. Grandpa Gordon can't wait to give boat rides and fish with his grandchildren this summer!

Isaac and I went to Ft. Dodge with Grandma Cindy, Great-grandma Bernadine, and my aunt Mary to shop for a new couch and recliner for Great-grandma. We shopped for about 5 hours and Isaac was perfect the whole time! And yes, grandma Bernadine found her couch and chair!

On Sunday, we went to mass together and then grandma Cindy prepared a nice meal for all of us. Uncle Nick, uncle Dustin, and aunt Kristin came over to eat. Isaac loved playing with his cousin Ella!

On the way back to Des Moines, we stopped to see Great-grandpa Joe and Great-grandma JoAnn in Story City. They loved holding Isaac and watching Isaac grab his own feet! It was so neat to see the JOY that Isaac brings to his grandpas and grandmas lives. We are truly blessed.

Wrestling with Daddy

Isaac and daddy love to wrestle! This video was taken on February 16, 2011, on grandpa Gordon's birthday!

5 Months Old

This is a super short video, but I decided to add it because it shows how well Isaac is now lifting his head! He has started to roll over from tummy time, but when he does, it is quite the surprise to him! It is so fun watching our baby grow!

Just Hanging Out

Last Sunday, Grandma and Grandpa Meyer came over to visit after church. Isaac loved having company! Grandma and grandpa spoiled him with hugs and kisses and lots of time to play! Daddy grilled a pork loin and cooked lunch for all of us. It was so nice to be able to relax and hang out at home. We have such a wonderful family! Isaac is now 5 months old. And as you can tell, he certainly does not miss a meal. He loves to eat!
