Some of Isaiah's New Favorites

Isaiah has learned how to drink from a straw, kind of! He is getting the hang of it more and more each day. However, as you can see in the video, he shoves the straw up a little too far every once in a while. Drinking from a straw has become one of his new favorite things!




Isaiah has become quite the bouncer lately. Every day, about 2-3 times a day, he spends about 15-20 minutes in his bouncer just hoppin away. He enjoys tugging on his toys that are attached and chewing on his Pooh bear book. We are so grateful that God has decided to bless our family with a healthy, happy baby.



Isaiah had a blast on our vacation to Laughlin which deserves its own post when I can get around to it. The short story, we took four couples to Laughlin for a great time of fellowship, food, wakeboarding, tubing, and some ping pong. Our friends John & Deena had a little girl on the same day, at the same hospital, about two hours after Isaiah was born. Above is a video of the two hanging out on our vacation. Isaiah was talking it up while Nola was not sure what this crazy kid was doing next to her. The kids are so much fun to watch and we enjoyed every second of watching all the kids interact!

Until next time...

Ninja Baby

Isaiah wanted to post a quick shout out to his Sifu! From Isaiah:

"Thanks for the onesie, I will do all training while wearing this cool outfit. But don't be surprised Mr. Mcarthur, if one day while wearing this onesie tied around my wrist, I jump over your head and kick you in the neck!!"

For all of you who don't know, my roommate from Pepperdine, Adam Mcarthur, is a shaolin master! He got this onesie for Isaiah and he has finally reached the age where he is able to fit in it. We will be posting more on the Memorial Day trip soon.

Pool Days

We finally put Isaiah in the pool. Of course we bought him an adorable turtle raft but he isn't quite big enough for it yet. He does love just loungin' in the pool on the big blue raft. Our pool is up to about 86 degrees...perfect for the baby boy!!

Future Gamer...Momma Doesn't Think So!

Pappa showed me how to play XBOX when Momma wasn't around. I'm not sure she'll like it but I love it!

I got'em Daddy...everyone better look out I'm coming to get you

I may look cute but I am one fierce Halo player...

I'll get'cha later I'm quite sleepy...business hours are over

Backyard Complete At Last!

It's official....we have water in the pool. Sure we can't fire up the spa for 9 more days but we are waiting patiently. I must say it's very exciting to see our newly landscaped backyard. Before we just had lawn and a little sand pit area without any plants. Now the lawn is just big enough for the puppies to use and we have a beautiful pool. Just in time for the summer. I joked with Boone time and again about the process of putting our backyard in calling it our beige wonderland...but I do believe it's a beautiful oasis now! Job well done in picking out all of the colors Boone.

Don't forget to notice our new block wall. Of course constructed with the finest of blocks manufactured at Bakersfield's own Desert Block Co.

Baby Einstein

I love Baby Einstein! My favorite thing is to smile at the babies when they wave to me . Momma realized I liked to watch TV. She figured I shouldn't be watching "Everyone Loves Raymond" any more...so here I am watching a DVD just for me.

Favorite Sleeping Habit

Our little baby boy has discovered that he stays warmer if his hands are tucked under his soft blanket. Either that or it's more comfortable than his arms up above his head (which is his other favorite). It's been quite a few weeks, maybe three, Isaiah goes to sleep by sucking on his little hand. He turned 12 weeks old yesterday and I do believe we have the best baby! He sleeps like a true champ. We started having him sleep on his tummy at 8 weeks and he sleeps so well. After he eats we play for about an hour and then he starts to yawn and suck on his hand. I take him to his room, sing a quick song, lay him on his belly, sometimes I have to pat his bottom, and he puts himself to sleep....amazing!!!
