Wow. It has been so long since I have really sat down and blogged about all the things happening in our life. We have had an eventful month so I will try not to post way too many pictures 
We went camping for a long weekend at Lake Jordan. We had fun playing in the water, eating and walking back and forth to the bathroom with a toddler who knows just the right moment to announce… “I have to go potty” (like as soon as the food is set on the table…)
Isaac discovered his feet while we were there… so cute! He is now a foot expert and can play all day with those toes. (remember this trip was a month ago…)
We also learned that Grace is NOT allergic to bees. Although it was not a pleasant experience. Poor girl.. Boppy actually got stung once as well and Daddy got stung twice! We ended up heading back home a day early because I was pretty sure Isaac or I was next on the bees list to sting… and worrying about a toddler having an allergic reaction was stressful – I did not want to be going through worrying about a baby reaction.
All in all it was a great trip. Daddy and Grace played fairy lights with the flash lights and laughed and told stories into the night. (you can ask Uncle Taylor… who was trying to sleep… they really did)
Isaac turned 4 months! He is now 13 lbs 3 oz (or was when we went to the dr 2 weeks ago) He is growing up a storm. Laughing, sitting up assisted in a bumpy or bouncer, cooing back to talk and full full full of smiles this boy!
Just so we can go back and see these first four months and how he has changed!
And for the rest of life… a lot of laughter, a lot of pool time, going to museums (usually by myself or with Mimi and Boppy…) I have found that keeping up with the needs to two children is a FULL time job. This means socializing is kind of out of the question, unless we are at an “in home” play date. lol. So most of the time I want to go and experience something I do it solo, or with my trusty grandparent helpers!
Marbles Museum – amazing trip with my two.
Such laughter with Jake… this was moments before Grace did a diving roll and pretty sure she sprained her ankle.. it took several hours before she could walk on it again. Ice, more ice and resting. Another total Mommy worry moment. I mean serious worry. If it was any day besides a sunday we would have been at the doctor.
Yes she is in his crib… yes she got in there herself. And you now know why I had Grace in the floor bed at 10 months. And why I can’t let them share a room until Isaac can defend himself better
This picture of Grace washing her bike…. oh my goodness it screams summer time to me
My beautiful babies. Notice Isaac sits like a big boy at restaurants in his Hugga Bebe. Those things are AMAZING! I can’t imagine not having had it with either of my kids. Allows those little ones to observe so much more.
Grace in her Elsa Dress “Oh Mommy, I am…. beautiful!” Self esteem… check
Oh that face. How can you not smile? He is seriously the cutest boy ever. He has my heart (and I now understand how Mama’s of boys get so protective. I cm going to have to work on it… because right now I am pretty sure I would tear anyone apart who tried to hurt this guy… unless its Grace and then she would just get time out) hehe
Grace being silly with some of her friends! Love these little crazies
4 month appointment. Isaac did great – I was more impressed with how patient Grace was through the whole thing! I usually try and schedule Isaac’s appointments when Grace is at “school” but it didn’t work out this day. Way to go big sis and lil bro!
Actually able to get him to start taking some bm (breast milk) from a bottle. I am thinking I may actually get to leave his side every once in a while! I actually did leave him with Daddy for 2 hours this past weekend, armed with a pre-pumped bottle they were good to go! Daddy played Mr. Mom and Mommy got a relaxing break. aww wonderful.
Isaac and his friend Oliver – they actually share a birthday! Crazy! But Isaac came 3 weeks early, and Oliver was 2 weeks late…. lol.
The beginning attempts at rolling. We get our whole body onto its side and even our bottom is flipped onto our belly. Always when we are trying to watch Grace
And starting to think about solids… ok really this guy wont be trying any solids until closer to 6 months – but grace is having fun pretending with her play kitchen stuff. Can’t tell if Isaac is going… “hey where is the real stuff?” or “seriously – you are letting the toddler shove this spoon into my mouth? help mommy!” hehe…. oh my amazing sweet wonderful seriously loved boy – you are the second child
Ok – so today has been a real treat. My child went to sleep (nap) without a huge fight… as in she actually laid her head on the pillow and just fell asleep. hallelujah! Nap time has been an every other day occurrence around here. She is still so grumpy by 5 if she does not nap. She needs to nap. But some days it just doesn’t happen. So today was amazing. 2.5 hours to clean the bathroom, research pest control (will get to that one day on here), repaint a little kid table and actually blog. Ok and a lot of random internet reading. Trying each day to make myself slow down and enjoy this day. For this is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. (Even when sometimes that is hard to do.)
Love to each of you.
