New Pics

I don't have much time to write because nap time is almost over but I promised to get some new pictures up here. Eric got a new computer for work and uses it a ton but we had to move the other computer to a different room and I've been trying to get it set up for a few days now so I've had extremely limited Internet time! So, sorry for the delay! Here are just a few pics taken over the last month! Enjoy!

Focusing on his blocks!



Emptying out the Kleenex box!



Loving on Grandma Kathy!



Sitting on daddy's lap with Eli - notice Eli's fresh haircut! We've been calling him Eli Schmucker because he resembled a little Amish boy! :)



Future Chef - Playing in the spice drawer!



Feeding Eli his breakfast!



Doesn't get to watch it very often but loves his Praise Baby!

Silly Boy

Unfortunately, I'm not a very good mother and I didn't take any pictures of our boy on Thanksgiving. He had on the cutest little outfit from Grandpa Jim and Grandma Kathy and I didn't get any pictures. :( I will have to dress him up again just to get some pictures! We had a wonderful day on Thursday of remembering ALL we have to be thankful for! Our God has blessed us so much and for that we could not be more thankful!

We got our tree put up this weekend and Isaiah loves it! He knows exactly what it is and points to it when we ask where the Christmas tree is! Last night we were in the Christmas spirit and we were singing Christmas Carols! This video shows Isaiah singing along! :)



I had a doctor's appointment this morning to check in on Heuer Baby #2. Everything went great and checked out wonderfully. My tummy measured right on track and the baby's heart rate was between 150 and 160! Eric and I had a bit of dejavu from our check-ups with Isaiah because they have told us both times that we have a "happy baby"! Our baby was very active while she was checking for the heart rate! Let's just hope and pray the baby is awake and active and cooperative next Tuesday when we have our ultrasound! :)

I have some pictures to upload but my camera battery is dead so as soon as it is charged, I will try to get those on here! We hope everyone is having a great week and if we don't post before next Tuesday, we'll be letting you know if Isaiah is going to have a little brother or a little sister! :)

Lots of Love

Precious Moments

As Isaiah and I were going through our nightly routine tonight; bath, jammies, books, prayers, bed; we just had the best time together. After I read to him, he was very content to just stay on my lap and snuggle so I took the opportunity to sing to him for a bit. He laid there and even joined in for a few choruses! One of the neatest parts of that scenario is that while I was singing and while he was snuggling, I felt the precious baby within kicking me. I had both of my babies so close and I was able to relish in that moment. I will not take that for granted. Thank you, Jesus, for that precious moment.

I often get emotional thinking about how FAST time is flying with Isaiah. He seems to just be growing TOO quickly. We have gone through so many milestones and I know there will be many more, which I look forward to! But, in the midst of being happy that he is growing and developing, I get sentimental thinking about the stages that have passed. He has the sweetest personality and it is blossoming more and more each day. I wish I could have a hidden camera so you all could see the "true" Isaiah. He just gets so funny (and not ha ha funny!)when he sees that camera!

I was able to sneakily get two cute videos of our boy today! He didn't realize either time that I was filming until he turned around! I hope you enjoy!

Video and 16 weeks

For Christmas last year, Auntie Jess and Uncle David got Isaiah a personalized CD of precious songs! He is growing to LOVE this CD! Every time I turn it on, he whips his head towards the CD player and gets the biggest smile on his face like he is so proud they just said his name! It is just the cutest! Well, we all know by now that this little child of mine LOVES electronics! So, every time I turn on that video camera, he is way more interested in it than anything else. I did not get the reaction I normally get but he's still awfully cute in this video! :)



And here is the belly at 16 weeks! Just a couple days ago, I told Eric I didn't feel like my belly was as big at this stage right now as it was last time. Well just in the last day or two, it has seemed to really pop out! I am feeling the baby lots this week! I do believe I have two very active children on my hands! :)

Some sweet ones

This first picture is Isaiah helping daddy find some properties at work the other day! Don't miss the microphone in Isaiah's hand! He was making announcements!


The rest of these are just a product of mommy having too much fun with Isaiah's hair in the bath tub! It's getting rather long!

Beach and Zoo with Family

This past weekend, Eric's dad and stepmom were in town, as well as, Eric's sister Erin, her husband Jason and their kids Nick and Kate. We had a great time hanging out as a family and did some really fun things together! On Friday, we went to Fort Myers Beach for some play time! And on Saturday, we went to the Naples Zoo. Isaiah and Eric woke up on Friday morning with cold symptoms and it hit me on Saturday morning. Eric fought it off really quickly but Isaiah and I are still struggling. Yesterday morning, Isaiah and I both had fevers, which really stinks but hopefully soon we'll be on the up-side!

Isaiah's little toes curling to keep from sinking in the sand!



Isaiah loved playing in the sand and the water!

Isaiah sure didn't feel well but it was a lot of fun!


Thank you family for visiting and thank you for all the fun memories! We love you all!

A little lion and a little lemon...

We had a great Halloween 2008! Isaiah was a little lion and boy was he cute! I was so afraid that he would be miserable in his costume but he really didn't seem to mind it at all! We have been working a lot on him saying "roar" because he has a toy lion that makes noise and we knew he would be a lion for Halloween. So, we have been saying "roar" a lot! In the car that night, on the way to trick-or-treat, I kept asking Isaiah, what does a lion say??? He just kept moo-ing! I guess that's his favorite animal noise right now! No luck with the roar!

We started out by going to a church fall festival! Both boys enjoyed walking around and looking at people but there wasn't a ton for them to do because of their age. We were able to do a couple things but mostly just looked around!

After the festival, we went with friends to trick-or-treat! We had a great time! Isaiah was really good even though it was past dinnertime! It was fun to take him out and spend time with friends!

Being silly in the car!



Is he cute or what???



Cousins - Monkey and Lion

Mommy and her little lion!



His FIRST trick-or-treating EVER! :)



One of the cutest parts of the costume was the back, with the little tail! :)


So, you may be asking yourself, "why did she mention a lemon in the title?" Well, it's because Heuer Baby #2 is about the size of a lemon right now! That's right, we are expecting baby number TWO!!! We just had a Dr.'s appointment on Friday and everything looked great! I am about 14 weeks along and the heart rate was between 140-150! Our due date is April 29th, which would make our children about 21 months apart! WHEW - we will be busy! But we are so excited and cannot wait to have two precious bundles of joy! I have started to pop out a little earlier than I did last time but not a ton. I have actually felt the baby move several times also which is amazing and comforting! I have felt SO much better than I did when I was pregnant with Isaiah. I still have nausea but it's not nearly as intense as it was with him. I am so grateful for that! I have not been craving cheeseburgers like I did with Isaiah but I have had some other cravings. I went through a phase where I wanted Caesar Salads. I've wanted lemonade quite a bit, and also Mexican food! I have had that for my last three meals! :) We feel so blessed that God has given us another opportunity to love another child! We cannot wait to meet this precious angel! I will try to post some belly pics soon! In the meantime...we love you all and appreciate your prayers and support through this time!
