6 month Isaac

My baby is 6 months old!!! He's growing more and more every day! He's eating more baby food...still size 1 jars, but he's doing alot better with it! He loves all kinds of fruits and veggies! I think we're gonna try him on size 2 here in a little while. He loves his exersaucer and eating his toys...everything goes right in his mouth! He rolls everywhere now and he sleeps through the night...usually. He started waking up 2 or 3 times a night around 5 1/2 months. I think he may have been going through a growth spurt. He's doing great now though!! He cries alot when I leave the room (he's very attached to mommy), but he's a pretty good baby overall. He likes to watch cartoons with his big brother and sisters. These last 6 months have flown by and I have loved every single day with him! I couldn't imagine my life without my Isaac! I love you sweet boy!!

Family pictures

We got pictures taken on Saturday, and it went ok. Elijah was a holy terror, but we still managed to get a few decent ones. We had them taken at Flash because we'd gone there once before and really loved it! Well this time was a little different. Last time we went, they had 2 people in the room...one taking the pictures and the other helping with the kids. There was only one person this time and she wasn't all that great. They made us wait for about 15 minutes before going back, which gave Elijah time to run around and get really energetic. So by the time we went to take them, he was having no part of just sitting there looking at a camera. He was squirming and crying when we were taking the picture of all of us, and the lady just kept saying "Look over here!" I was like, um...he's not gonna look at you just because you ask him to. Do you have any toys or something that will get his attention??? So finally she got a baseball out that he played with for a while... Geez, you'd think with the money we're paying for these pictures, that they would have a better plan of getting kids' attention other than to just say look at me! oh well, we still managed to get a few that I really love!

Like this one of Elijah and Isaac...
















And this one of the girls... Of course, the girls did amazing!!



















This is the best one we got of all of them together.

















We had her take some of just Isaac since we haven't taken him to get just his pictures taken yet.















This is the picture where Elijah was just being horrible.

Potty chair

This may be a little inappropriate, but it was so cute, I couldn't resist putting it on here...and hey, it's my blog, right? I haven't officially started potty training Elijah, but when he goes poo-poo, he usually tells me and sometimes I have time to get him to the toilet before he goes. Mike rushed him to the bathroom when we heard "I poo-poo", and I snapped this picture of him on the loo. I just love how he clings to the car...he ALWAYS has a car in his hand, no matter what he's doing. :)








































He wasn't too happy about the whole picture on the potty thing, I mean who can blame him, right? But I have to have these blackmail pictures for those horrible teenage years I'm sure, like all parents, we will encounter. For now, I'm sorry about this Eli, but you're way too cute to not take them! :)

Programs

Chloe is in the pre-school kids choir at church and they sang a couple songs last night before the service. She LOVES singing on the stage in what she calls the "front room" (aka: the sanctuary). She loves being the center of attention! :) I curled her hair and took some pictures of her before we left, because I knew her hair would most likely fall before we even got there...and sure enough...

Thursday night Laney had her "Bug" program at school, so my neice came over and watched the boys so Mike and I could go (with Chloe and Grandma Carol, of course) and not have to deal with trying to control Elijah...I don't even want to think about what a headache that would have been!
Here are the pictures of the girls' programs.

She had a small solo in The ants go marching...she was number 8 :) Here's a video of it. (The video starts with 6, so it takes a minute to get to her)

Easter

Just another day...

Here's a little peek into what goes on in my house on a regular basis.

Chloe came into the living room crying because she couldn't get something out of her hair. I had to take a picture (or 3) of it before I helped her get it out. Who knows how things like this happen???

She wasn't too happy that I wasn't helping her get it out...

So I made her give me a smile, and this is what I got.

Please keep in mind that this was before baths and changing out of pj's

Then there's Elijah, who I literally just got onto while typing this for ripping a page out of a book, who loves to get into the excersaucer, or really anything for that matter...



He got stuck in it the first few times...and I didn't help him out. I guess I figured it was easier to leave him in there and listen to him get mad than to chase him around the house.


He's got it figured out now.

Darn it!

Getting back in.

I got my wish when I wanted a boy after having the 2 girls...and I got the boyest in the land! My mom always says, well, you got that boy you always wanted! I do love him more than life itself, but *sigh* he's so incredibly full of energy, I just can't keep up!



My mom got the boys matching pj's and I love them! They are so cute!


Elijah tickling Isaac's foot...notice Elijah is the one laughing.


And kisses from sissy are the best!



It looks like he's trying to pucker up in this one.



Awww...how sweet!



This is his new face he makes constantly! He couldn't be any sweeter!!

I know, I have no pictures of Laney...she's always at school when the camera is out. I know...excuses. I'll take some of her this weekend. I need to get her hair cut...it grows so fast!

Isaac's collage

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything in here, and now at 11:30pm, I have a tired, but quick moment to do it. I started scrapbooking a long time ago and did pretty good keeping up with them before I got pregnant with Isaac. That poor little baby doesn't have one thing started for him...not even a baby book. Trying to keep up with 4 kids' scrapbooks is beyond impossible, so I got a digital scrapbooking program for Valentine's day and I've been putting it to good use. I made this collage with pictures I took of Isaac. He's totally into his feet now, so getting a good shot of just his face was a little tricky if I didn't want his little tootsies in the shot.
