6 months old

Splish Splash...he can sit up for a few seconds before falling over.


Getting warm after our bath! Heading out for a walk
I have been going through all his pictures from over the past 6 months and looking at how much he has grown, from just a little sweet pea to...well he's still just a little sweet pea! But bigger! He is just so amazing and I am so in love with him. I may be biased...haha...but he really is THE best baby! He is content and happy almost all the time no matter where we go...it's crazy. He is getting a little more demanding as he is getting older though! He is starting to figure things out and knows what he wants now. Lately, we have been struggling with naps. The only way he would sleep during the day is if he nursed and fell asleep and I sit and hold him. The minute I put him down he cries. If I just let him cry he is a fighter and doesn't give in. So I am still trying to figure out the whole nap thing. Some days he does some days he only takes cat naps in the car.

He is eating 2 meals a day now (as in baby food). Oatmeal and veggie in the morning and usually just oatmeal again in the evening. No teeth at all yet, so he hasn't really tried any table food. So far he has liked everything I have had him try...carrots, squash and peas.

We are all adjusting to the new place pretty well. Andy is still getting used to the commute. He used to take a train into the city but now takes the bus which means you have to deal with traffic so it can get lengthy. For Andy to get to work, I drive him to the bus station in the morning then he gets on a bus to the city then once in the city he takes the subway to his stop and walks several blocks to his building...it's quite a journey. Some days he takes the car though and it is nice for us to stay home. I have learned my way around the town and know how to get places so I am starting settle in once again to a new place. This is my 5th place to live in 4 years!
Isaac is sleeping very well in his own room and mom and dad are sleeping good too! We just keep our doors open and I wake up whenever he cries...which normally isn't until 4-5 in the morning and he goes back to sleep until around 8. Here are a few pictures of the our place. We are still working on making it look how we want so we are not done with everything. We just painted Isaac's room last weekend and love it! Still need to get curtains up and some art on the walls.


Here is a cute little video of Isaac cracking up at his favorite word? I got him flash cards and we just show him the picture and tell him what it is and he got cracked up on one word. I had just changed his diaper and we were letting him have some time to "breathe" so that's why he has no diaper on. Not a very good view of me, but it's not about me!

A few recent events....

We moved and Nonny came to visit!
Andy celebrated his birthday!


We started baby food. Here he is trying squash for the first time...first bite...but he actually ended up really liking it. I think it was just the initial shock!

We got a "Johnny Jump Up" and are still not quite sure what we are supposed to be doing here. He'll get it! (don't mind our yucky carpet!)


More updates and pics of our place soon!
