Isaac and Liam Photos

Isaac 2 years - Liam 3 months

LIFE!

Friday - January 7, 2010 Liam (15 weeks) turned over from his back to his belly and now you cannot keep him on his back.

Tuesday, January 11, 2010...While driving to my parents, Isaac was eating an apple and after a while he said, "Mommy, the animals are coming out!" I wasn't sure what he was talking about until I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that he was referring to the seeds that he exposed when he bit into the core of the apple. I laughed and had to write that one down.

I cannot believe that this is what I have become! When I was pregnant with Liam I was so sick and so tired and gained too much weight. I expected this pregnancy to be the same as it was with Isaac - I had energy, I worked out every day, I was organized, etc. I was so wrong. The sickness wore off but I kept gaining weight and was very uncomfortable. I did only what I HAD to do just to get by. Okay, in the summer...I did go the the pool every week to hang out with my girl friends and let Isaac swim with his friends (getting into a swimsuit was so very humbling). Anyhow, besides that...I only did what I HAD to do to survive! I put off blogging, thinking I'd pick up right after Liam was born. Oh, and that "nesting" phase that I was so looking forward to never happened, so I really never got my house in order either. I was a mess. I say all of that to say this: I really thought life was going to be so much easier after I had Liam. Wrong Again!! Not only am I trying to adjust to two instead of one, poor Liam has been so colicy and that takes sometimes hours to get him settled down and once that happens I have to spend some time with Isaac because of all that time I had to help Liam. So in the mean time...dinner, house work, laundry...yeah right! That's one of the reasons I haven't allowed myself much time to get on here and have fun. I kept telling myself that once my house was clean and organized and laundry is put away and all that other stuff was done THEN I could have a little fun. Guess what. My house is still disorganized, not so clean and laundry is still on the stairway (at least it's folded though)!

I just couldn't keep missing little things (memories) because my house isn't in the shape I want it. I know that'll come with time...and a few good friends who want to come help - just kidding!. But in the mean time...I hope to get better at spending a little more time thinking about and sharing the memories we make as a family!

Proud Daddy!

We are so happy!

It took Isaac some time to "accept" him...something we are still working on!

Liam's first kiss from Isaac (now he won't stop kissing him)!

Mommy loves him so much!

I have so much more to share but I am still trying to adjust to two...loving every minute of it though!

The Circus

Like always, my sister is kind enough to think of us when there is a "kid thing" going on at the BOK Center. Actually this last time I had to ask her about the circus, which I normally would not do, but it was a good thing since she forgot she had tickets for them sitting in her desk (no one would have gotten to enjoy them if I hadn't called)! It was Isaac's first time to the circus and he loved it! Especially when the ladies were shot out of the cannon and anything with fire and loud booms! We loved watching his reaction to everything! My dad came with us and he seemed to have a great time as well, especially when it came time to buy Isaac a couple of toys!

Our first trip to the circus together!

Bubbles and Popsicles

Chad & Isaac went outside while I was cooking dinner. I thought Isaac looked so cute chasing bubbles, so I had to go outside and take some pictures.

He always lays down like that every where we go for some reason!

Hmmm, I wonder if he's going to the bathroom?

I just love this face, I wish I got his whole head in the picture. I made cherry popsicles this week and they were so tasty! Isaac is now asking for popsicles about a hundred times a day so I try buy the kind made with real fruit or make my own.

I promise, they were good!

Month of May

Grandpa Dany (my dad) got Isaac a bean bag, it stays at their house but Isaac loves it! I think we may have to get him one for our house...my only hesitation is that he may ask to watch a "choo-choo" (that's Isaac's name for all shows) more often than he does now, which is already too much!

Chad's Grandma came for a visit from New York. She stayed for about a month. It was very nice to have her around for awhile and get to know her a little more!

This picture of Isaac is at the Jenks River Walk. The last time our Dinner 6 Group met, we had pizza at Hideaway and then went to the river for some ice cream. Afterwards the kids played and we went home. It was a very fun time!

This is my friend Sheila. She came down for a few days to stay with us. The kids enjoyed her. They called her "Auntie Shi-Shi".

Isaac is totally enjoying himself!
