A busy week

The weather finally got warm enough here that we started going on walks! Well, it was warm Monday-Wednesday...now it is rainy and cold...but we're still holding out for warm spring weather to come. I don't really know if Isaac enjoys the walks yet...I bundle him up, and with the coat that he wears, it's hard for him to move his arms, so he looks like this little boy in so many layers, it's pretty funny.

We all showed signs of getting sick this week. Taylor's has seemed to plateau into a mild head cold, Isaac appears to have a runny nose due to teething, (We can see Isaac's front two teeth...I guess it's termed "bulging"??? whatever that means, but that is fun despite all the drool and runny nose...no sign of bottom teeth, is that weird?!) :-) but I don't feel like I am getting any better. I took Friday off as a sick day to try to regain some strength...but, if I am going to be sick, it is perfect timing, because my mom came into town on Thursday!! Yea!!! I love having my mom here.

My mom and Isaac had pictures taken on Friday. They were so, so, so, so cute! As soon as we get them I'll have to post them. The one downfall of the pictures: Isaac took his first fall. :-( Both Mom and Isaac were crying. He was sitting on a chair, maybe 6-8 inches off the ground, and Isaac can sit up with support, but he hasn't quite mastered it. So I am sitting right next to him holding his hand, ready to catch him in case he falls. Well, as it probably always happens, I looked away for one second and Isaac leaned to the right and hit the hardwood-DANCE FLOORS-head first. (The photographer uses a dance studio for her studio shots). It still feels like I replay it in my head in slow motion...and he just starts screaming at the top of his lungs. I felt SO bad. But, Isaac is a trooper and within a couple of minutes--if that--he is ok, and ready to smile. He had a little red mark for a little while...maybe 20 minutes...and after that there was no sign of a goose egg or mark. I know it was the first of many falls to come, but oh, I felt so bad.

We had so many cute pictures taken...we had some really fun and really cute hats that he wore, my mom and him had some matching outfits and then we even had one taken especially for our families: a picture of Isaac in a BYU shirt and a BYU beanie. :-) We'll be sure to get you all copies. hahaha...(Cam, you were definitely forefront in our minds for this picture!) I'm so mad I forgot my camera!

Issac has been doing great with solids...he has had carrots, peas and yesterday he had sweet potatoes for the first time and loved them. I'm making our own baby food, and I love doing it!

Last night, the Elders Quorum presidency (Did I mention Taylor got put into the presidency? He's the secretary) decided to go to the temple and do sealings. So, my mom watched Isaac and Taylor and I took off to Idaho Falls. I don't know how long it has been that we have had a night to ourselves, but it was really, really, really nice to go out husband and wife. It was soooo nice. We don't really have many people here that will watch Isaac, and we don't mind going out with Isaac, but once we had a night to ourselves, we definitely realized how nice/important it is to take some time for ourselves. So, thanks Nana, for babysitting!
