6 months!

Isaac turned 6 months old on Thursday! It's crazy how fast he is growing and how many new things he learns everyday. His brain is a little sponge. We took him in for a doctor appointment on Friday and he weighs 19 lbs and is 26.75 inches long -- 75th percentile for both. Only 3 more pounds to go before he is no longer in his infant car seat. :o Here are some shots from the big day:

My first Mother's Day

Nate and Isaac treated me to the most perfect first Mother's Day. Here I am heading up to get my present:

And here is my present -- SKIING!!! Yipee!

It was the first day of the season for both Nate and I. Season total: 2 runs and 1600 vertical feet. ;)

This picture cracks me up. That chin! Those eyes! Chubbers.

I'll end with how the day started ...

Couldn't ask for anything better.

Rollin'

Isaac has mastered the art of rolling from his tummy to his back! Check it out:




He likes pears too!

I came downstairs the other morning to find Isaac and Nate enjoying breakfast at the table ... too cute!

Happy May Day!

Here are some of my favorites pictures from the past week to kick-off the month of May.

Gearing up for a hike to Tallapus Lake where Isaac had his first lesson in Risk Assessment (a sketchy snow bridge that became our personal "finish").

Food Milestone

Isaac has been showing a real interest in our food for the last couple weeks. Today, we finally gave him rice cereal. It was a big day -- check it out:

5 months

Isaac turned 5 months old today! Nate and I are constantly amazed and amused with our little guy ... we are having so much fun. It seems as though he is learning something new everyday. I think he had a big growth spurt this past week but you can judge for yourself by the recent Teddy picture. ;)

Big blue eyes

Isaac got a new hat (it's a *wee* bit too big but still looks pretty darn cute) -- Thanks Silvia!

Opps .. his head got stuck!

I promise that he does smile, just not when the camera comes out!

Hikes

We have been on two nice hikes in the past two weeks. The first one to Rattlesnake Ledge which we enjoyed with 100+ other people from the Seattle area. Talk about crowds! But that was to be expected with the 70 degree weather we had that day so I can't complain. Yesterday we hiked up Tiger Mountain which Isaac didn't seem to like as much. Maybe he remembers hiking it a few times while in utero and was just trying to tell us that he wanted to do something different. ;)
