Tummy Time

I got some really great shots during Isaiah's Tummy Time today so I thought I would share! He is getting stronger each day and we just think he is so cute! He is so laid back and is so easy to take anywhere! We just love him to pieces and SO enjoy being with him and having him around! What a precious blessing he is to us!

He prefers to have his hands behind him during tummy time!
But he is getting better at pushing off!
We think he might be a swimmer!
I love his little hands and sweet face in this one!

Close-up shot!

Santa

Here is Isaiah's picture with Santa! He did great and they got along very well!

Big Weekend!

It was a big weekend for Isaiah! My parents came to visit from Evansville and Isaiah was very busy! Friday afternoon, we went to visit Auntie Jess at her office because she wanted to "show off" her nephew! Boy did he get a lot of attention! :) That office LOVES babies! On Saturday, Isaiah went to meet Santa at the mall. I don't have a picture of that yet, but I will put one on here so stay tuned! Isaiah also got to try out a few new things this weekend. He got his first real Christmas present...a new high chair! He did really well in it, even though it's still a little big! He also got to play in a new toy that's been in storage because he's been too small to use it! And, he got to wear a new warm outfit because of the COLD weather and the snow!
This first picture is Isaiah showing how he can sit up on the couch like a big boy!

Here he is in his Jungle Jumperoo!
He is so serious about his play time!
Isaiah clearly liked chewing on his high chair!
And here he is taking his Sunday afternoon nap but of course cheering on the Colts with daddy!
And, finally, our precious little teddy bear, all bundled up!

A girl's night out!

Our good friend Amy celebrated her birthday on Monday! (She's the one holding the Grey Poupon!) Her sweet husband Jon rented a limo for the night for her to take her girlfriends out to dinner! We all had a great time at Palomino and then back at their place for cake. It was wonderful to get out, spend time with girls, and celebrate Amy! What a great friend she is! From left to right, Kirsten, Natalie, Jess, Amy, Erin, Hillary, Andria, and Jennifer.

Natalie and Jennifer with the birthday girl!

Natalie has a little boy Gage who will be ONE next month! Natalie enjoyed singing to and playing with a four month old :) and Isaiah LOVED Natalie! He thought she had such a pretty voice and he was fascinated with her pretty, pretty face! Natalie is a great mommy!
And here is Isaiah with the birthday girl and his favorite babysitter! Jon was SO kind to offer to watch Isaiah while Eric was working and I was out with the girls! He did such a great job, even with Isaiah's dirty diaper :) Thank you, Jon!!!! We love the McLaughlins!

Time with Friends!

Yesterday, we got to spend some much needed time with the Taflinger family! Lisa was the friend who was pregnant while I was and it was so wonderful to go through our pregnancies together! Well now our little boys have become the greatest of friends and we are still loving going through each new phase together! I love this first picture because it looks like they are practicing their dance moves! :)
Here is a close-up of their faces! Two little angels!


This is Isaiah's first time on his daddy's shoulders! First of many, I'm sure!

And then I must end with this next picture. It seems everyone always puts pictures on here of their smiling babies and while I want to mostly do the same, I wanted to post a picture of my tired, slobbery, over-stimulated precious boy who is ready for a nap! He loves his play time but it only lasts so long!

A Few More...

I was able to get a few more pics on here. I hope this is the start of something good!
Here's a shot of our family on Thanksgiving!
These next few are of Isaiah in his exersaucer on his four-month birthday! What a big boy!!!

I love his face in these two. He's really checking out that butterfly!
Auntie Jess was here last Tuesday and had him cackling! It was so adorable!

They also had some really good reading time! Auntie Jess thought it was appropriate to read Christmas books so here they are reading about Jesus' birthday!

Here's a Start...

I'm not sure how I did it, but I was able to get these two pictures up here. I'll keep working to try to get some more. These two pictures are from when we were in Evansville for Thanksgiving!

Such a happy baby boy!!!
