Mom! Look what I can do!

My sweet little Isaac is getting soooo big! He had his 6 month Dr visit last Wednesday and he was such a trooper considering.....Another 5 shots. The nurse stuck him with the first and he moved-she wasn't holding his legs firm enough and it cut him pretty bad. He was ticked. I've never heard screams that loud before, ever. I'm holding his arms and trying to calm him down knowing I'm fighting a losing battle when she picks up a toy, shakes it, & feebly attempts to distract him! I'M THINKING, LADY YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MIND! DO THE REST AND GET IT OVER WITH! He wants off the table and away from you! This is not play time and he's not going to cease the screaming until we're done! He did the whole deep-gasps-after-crying-really-hard and the crocodile tears were too much! Mommy didn't like going by herself but got Isaac to relax before we even left the office (SUPERMOM) Healthwise: He's 18 lbs 14oz and doing awesome! The doctor herself was amazed at how much he can already do. Like....

Eat baby food from a highchair!!!

SIT UP from a crawling position by myself!!!

this is a bad pic taken from phone cause Mommy's hasn't been able to upload from camera yet...which is also why we don't have any
CRAWLING photos yet but he is!!!! Such a big boy! He is very determined! He has waved "Bye-Bye" before too! We are certainly going to have our hands full! While Matt was mowing the grass last week, I had to lower Isaac's crib because he has learned how to sit up very easily and is beginning to pull up on things! I don't need him wandering our room at night =)

Matt and I are doing very well and love staying with my sweet grandparents. Their pool and dock are well used and the food is delicious as ever. (I feel like I'm on Travelosity reading resort reviews)
In the truck yesterday, we were commenting on how we love riding together to work and are able to talk a lot more. It has been precious time and will be something that we'll miss when we do move into a new home. We are also enjoying visiting churches! There is so much that's being done at other places and we have loved praise and worship lately...A new home church will depend somewhat on where we move but we love seeing whats out there. The house hunt is still on and we are going to look at a few today...I'm getting so excited!

I have some great pictures to post of Isaac's friends and playdates this weekend...it was abSolUtley aDoRabLe!!!

ALL ABOARD THE HOGWARTS EXPRESS

After many sweet talks, pleadings and discussions, my wonderful husband mustered up the courage and gave in to one of my very fanatic requests and took me to see a movie about my most favorite book series, the new HARRY POTTER!

I really don't think I should've been as excited to see it as I was...It's based on a series of children's novels about a school of people who can preform magic...not very mature Steph but even while Matt was buying the tickets, I bursted out to the little ticket fellow, "I'm so HAPPY!". Yeah, I got a "Shhh" from Matt on that one...

'HP and the Half Blood Prince' bridges the first 5 movies and sets up for the final two--first part to be released Nov 2010. I enjoyed the style this movie had--You could really feel the 'personal' side of the actors and the characters truly had room to be 'themselves' which led to a lot better acting and more funny lines! (the film major in me comes out and I love analyzing the movies that are made after my fav fictional books) ANd did I mention that in this one...lOvE iS in tHe aIR?!

So if you haven't seen it, call me...I'll go with =)

Duke

My sis got a little puppy! His name is Duke and he's a Yorkiepoo! so sweet

"A very merry un-birthday..."

...to Isaac! He is 6 months old today! I can't believe it! This is so cliche but time really does fly!

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!!

at the beach-cousins!




Happy 4th!


As it is hard to upload anything using a dial-up connection, I've been a bit behind updating our blog but have no fear, we are still here!

Or at my Grandmommy's rather, during our house hunt. It has been exciting looking at homes and choosing what will be best for us. I've never had to go through this process before as I went straight from my parent's house into Matt's once we were married and I feel like a grown-up analyzing and seeking our next home! We have a definite idea of what we want and our realtor is doing an awesome job so far...We are working with a good friend of ours who went thru our youth ministry, Nick Nesta. He's gonna be sought after someday; great at what he does...anyway, we still want to be in Arbor Ridge but we'll see what God has planned for us.

Matt is still working hard at the Greenhouse...he's actually out in the heat right now changing the oil im my jeep...thanks sweetheart =)We are out at his work now so i'm taking advantage of the opportunity to post but i don't have any photos WITH ME! AHHHHH!

I am still teaching at Trinity with the 2 year olds but come August I am moving to Nursery D (which is the class that gets the 1 1/2 yr olds ready for preschool) and I'll be working with my dear friend Brenda, so i'm excited. It's also right across from the classroom Isaac will be in so that's a major plus =) I've also started my second children's book...Hopefully someone important will fall in love with the manuscripts =)

Neil, my little brother (which he's not like...small, just younger =) is going to Panama City beach for a youth camp this week! Pray for their safety and enjoyment...this will be his last trip/event in youth ministry. He just graduated and is interning with our dear friend, Adam Shaw right now, learning how to be a physical therapist.

Brittany, Brittany, Brittany. My sister is in the process of buying a puppy...which we will be leaving in a few mins to go see the yorkiepoo pups and she is flying in a few weeks to visit her sweet boyfriend, Justin in Missouri where the Air Force has stationed him to work on the air crafts. Again, pray for her safety since she will be flying alone...that's scary to me...airplanes and I don't get along very well =)


We got a video camera (jvc everio) to capture all of the wonderful things our lil boy is doing...only problem is I'm looking at it right now and i can't figure out HOW TO UPLOAD THE VIDEOS I'VE TAKEN!?! I have some cute ones...I'll just have to show you later...this is turing out to be a dud post (haha)

and the news we've all been waiting for...ISAAC!!

He is getting soooo big! Lets hit the major points...

* He is crawling! Gets on his hands and knees and rocks --then this week he is actually taking "crawling steps".
* He can sit up by himself! We don't stray too far in case he topples over (he has no idea that flinging himself backward will hurt)
* He is eating a fruit in the morning and veggie at night! (along with bottles of course but it close to holding them by hiself)

high chair at mimi's and papaws
* We have two bottom teeth! They are soooo cute.
*He likes to stand and hold onto the stool...his legs are really strong
* He has discovered he can yell. Shrieky outbursts in addition to when he "talks" makes for a noisey little boy.
* He loves to jump! In his jumper or saucer or in your lap...it doesn't matter...as long as he can stretch those legs!
* Loves cartoons (even though its limited, maybe once every 3 days-just too busy and normally go swimming if any down time)...in particular, Disney Channel. (mother's boy)

He is getting on a schedule and loves his routines...He's sooo busy! These are the majors- We are so proud of him and feel so blessed to be his parents.

I will post pictures this week so check back
