talking...

Isaac is starting to say more and more words. Tonight I said "night, night" and he said it back to me for the first time. He is really good at saying "bye" and loves to tell people bye on the phone. He also knows more and please (which comes out more like bees). Our little guy is growing up so fast!

We had our ultrasound last week and everything is looking good with baby. Baby has started to really move around and kick. Zach got to feel baby for the first time last week as well. Week 23 has begun with sickness...mine and Isaac's. We just went to the doctor this afternoon and Isaac has ear infection. You wouldn't know it though because he is the happiest little boy. He's had a runny nose and cough for about a week and hasn't slept the best. I simply have a sore throat and some congestion issues which have affected my voice and sleep. Since I'm pregnant there isn't a lot I can do except get sleep and drink lots of fluid.

Zach has made a goal this year to get through his guitar DVD for beginners. So he and Isaac come down to the basement after Zach gets home from work and they each play their guitar. Isaac actually plays Zach's more than his but he loves spending time with his daddy! Here's a picture I took the other night:

Pregnancy Pictures

We are 20 weeks and have started taking pictures of "the belly." I looked back and found pictures from my pregnancy with Isaac to compare. Do you see any differences??

Current pregnancy at a little more than 19 weeks.

Isaac's pregnancy around 19 weeks

Favorite present...

Isaac got a lot of presents for Christmas but one he loves a lot is the step stool my parents got for him. He loves to climb up and watch out the window. He also loves to climb up and turn the lights on and off! We are thankful for our new strobe lights...not really! Here are some pictures of Isaac with his step stool:


Isaac also got some really nice clothes for Christmas, which we desperately needed since Isaac's 18 month shirts are too tight & too short. My favorite is his new church outfit. He looks like such a big boy! We took some pictures last week after church:

Isaac does really well giving us "cheeses" as you can tell from all his pictures. This never happens when we take him to get his photos done professionally! Talk about frustrating!
