Week in Review

As I haven't posted in a while, I thought I'd fill everyone in on this past week. It started out with an emotional project for me. We finally ran out of room in Isaiah's dresser drawers, so I had to pack up everything that he has out-grown. This included everything from newborn to his current size 9-12 months. And of course, just about every outfit has a memory so I was a bit emotional.
But on the flip side, as he is getting bigger (and older- he is now 10 months!) he is getting so cool. He pulls himself up onto just about everything. He can "walk" along furniture and loves to push his walker toy around the room. He is into drawers and cabinets so it is time to baby-proof. He is exporing different sounds and facial expressions. And he is starting to imitate other people. We are having a blast and trying to enjoy every minute of ot :)
The other exciting news of the week is we got new windows!! When we bought our house 2 years ago, all the windows were old, brittle, and painted shut. So finally got around to replacing them, and it is wonderful to be able to open windows and feel a breeze through the house. I'm looking forward to that this fall-- though right now we still have our air on :)
I promise to try and get some new pictures and video of Isaiah's new "tricks" so stay tuned.

New Discovery

Isaiah found the tupperware cabinet!! And he had fun with all the dishes :)

Amazing

Kids are such marvelous miracles from God. I am amazed at how Isaiah is growing and developing each day. He is constantly learning new skills. Here are a couple of videos (sorry they are poor quality-they are off the video modo on my digital camera) that show his two newest tricks. He just sat down with these toys yesterday and started playing with them appropriately. Up to this point he used to just knock them over or climb on them. And know he can do multi-step tasks repeatedly. Awesome!!!

New Trick

Though I don't have "proof" of this yet, I did want to share with everyone that Isaiah can sit up on his own!!!!!!!!! The other day as he was crawling all over the room, all of a sudden, he stopped and sat up so he could play with a toy. He hasn't mastered sitting up if he is on his back; but from his tummy he can now change positions at will :)

Zoo trip

Adam and I love to go to the zoo, so this morning we decided we would go, befor it got too hot to be outside.

The fire department and police department were at the zoo. Isaiah was the first baby to be photographed in front of the city's new fire engine.

He is starting to become more aware of the animals. He enjoyed the turtle that swam in front of him.

Isn't this adorable!!!!

Oh no!!!! Animal on the lose!!!!

Weekend with Family

We went to visit Adam's mom on Friday and Saturday. While we were there we got to see Uncle Kent, Aunt Julie, Marla (cousin), Aunt Lindy and Uncle Ryan. Here is a picture of the fam.

Here are more pictures of the cousins playing. I kept forgetting to take my camera with me so there aren't that many :(

Time to Catch Up

Last Wednesday, while Adam helped my dad and brother-in-law put up a swing set...

Isaiah had fun playing in his cousin's car.

Watch out for that crazy driver on the road!!!!!
