We're moving~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AGAIN! We found a great place that is absolutely perfect for us right now. It has 2 beds/ 2 FULL baths and little yard space and even a fireplace....that has been something Andy and I have wanted since we got married. AND it's CHEAPER by quite a bit then where we are living now :) Thank the Lord!
The thought of moving again is not really appealing to me right now, but it is something we have to do. With me not working we simply could not stay where we were and Isaac needs a room too. I already am dreaming of how I am going to decorate his room! It is in Old Bridge, NJ and will be about the same distance for Andy to get to work, but it's about 30 minutes from where we live now. We have friends that live there which encouraged us to check out the area and it will be nice to know people.
I was kind of hopeful that our next move would be a little more permenant but we are really happy to have it. Andy's job is still going really well so here we stay.
I just joined a mom's group in this area and went on my first playdate last week and so I am going to have to start over there, but I'm sure it will be good. The lady who own's the townhouse we are renting said there are allot of people with kids in the neighborhood which will be great because there are not many where we live now.
Our move in date is Aug. 1st so I have to start packing! I was at Michaels craft store today and was able to score a few free moving boxes :) Our current landlord wants to get the place rented out right away so they are showing it to 2 people tomorrow evening. Since Andy is out of town that means I have to get out of the apartment with both the baby and the dog....that should be fun! (major sarcasm there) We will probably just head to a park and walk, but I usually don't walk with both of them together because Amos pulls allot. Wish me luck :)

First Taste

of cereal...it was a success! Just as I suspected he loved it and by the end was getting very frustrated that it was not coming fast enough. We are giving him one serving in the evening about an hour or two before his last feeding. No, he did not sleep through the night :( He woke up just the same so my efforts to get some more sleep failed, but he enjoyed it and I think he was ready so that is most important. Here is a short movie of his first "bite"....

Tummy time

How can I get this in my mouth?

Got it!

Hanging with Daddy!

Isaac and Levi....I think he had his fill of being held!

We have a 4 month old!

How'd that happen?! Isaac turned 4 months old on June 25th. It has been a busy summer so far and Isaac is just learning so much all the time. We are enjoying every moment big and small. We are still working on rolling over...he has done it...once. My friend Allison came out from Indianapolis to visit this week and so we were running allover NYC and the one day Isaac stays home with his daddy he decides to show off for him! I missed it, but that's ok. I'm glad Andy got to share that special moment. However, he hasn't rolled over since. Soon enough. He has recently discovered his toes as well and it's all about getting them into the mouth! Yum!

We are starting to regress a little in the sleeping department. Last night he was up 3 times! He wakes up and just talks and talks but rarely gets to crying. Since he is in our room with us we all get to wake up. Not sure what is going on with that, but I'm starting to wonder if we should start solids soon, hmm? The doctor said we can start him on cereal anytime, but I was wanting to wait for 6 months. I will probably start in the next few weeks. I really want to make my own food for him so I am excited about starting that soon.

We went to the doctor on the 30th and our little man is weighing in at 15 pounds 10 ounces and almost 26 inches long! He is a little on the large size for his age so I think it is safe to say he inherited his size from daddy's side (thankfully!).

Isaac took his first trip into the city this week and did great! It was lots of fun! He loves all the people and places to see. He attracts the ladies everywhere we go..haha. We walked around Greenwich Village and went and got lunch and dessert and got to see daddy's work!

Andy and I are in the process of looking for a bigger apartment. We really need to get a two bedroom place with Isaac getting bigger. We have gone to look at a few places but haven't found anything yet. We are hoping to move by the end of August since that will be when things start to get really busy with Andy's work.

Here is a video of Isaac with Great Grandma Huffman a few weeks ago in Michigan. She really got him going!
