Five *GASP* Months Old!

It's so hard to believe that my little baby is already five months old. These pictures are a little late, but nonetheless, here is the monthly picture update.

Here he is our "deer caught in the headlights" at four months: And here he is our happy, smiling little boy at FIVE months:

I love how his hand is on top of the teddy bear in these pictures!

Isaac is doing so well and is just the happiest little boy. He is SO SO SO much fun and brings SO much joy and happiness and smiles to our home!! We truly love being parents to him!

I took this picture as he was playing on the floor and rolling all over the place, I just thought he looks so cute, as if to say, "Hmm?"

This past week has also been quite the week as Isaac started eating FOOD! He had been on rice cereal once he was 4 1/2 months, but it didn't seem like he was drinking less formula, so we talked to the doctor and it appeared he needed food! So, we started him on carrots, which he LOVED, and then also tried him on peas. The peas were definitely a different taste to him, but he still loved them. He has done GREAT with the food.

An update as to how the daycare is going: GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! Both Taylor and I have independently noticed that Isaac just seems happier. I've always said and felt that Isaac was a happy baby, but this last week has proved to be even happier. We have been very, very, very happy with "Peas in a Pod." Taylor usually has Isaac home by lunch time, unless Taylor has an afternoon class, and if that's the case--I'll go over to the daycare to see Isaac. And every time I've been there--he is always being held and is always so happy. He did have a hard time sleeping at the beginning of the week--there was just a lot going on around him to fall asleep, so they ended up putting him in his car seat and he fell asleep so fast. So, hopefully as Isaac gets to know his surroundings a little more he will get used to the noise and movements, etc.

We did have our first "daycare experience" this week to mention. I was at work taking an application, and both Taylor and the daycare call. Obviously they don't put the call in to me, so when I am done I am given the message that they called, have a voicemail, and an email from Taylor asking me to call him. Turns out one of the older girls at daycare (maybe 4 or 5) went to daycare with LICE. She was scratching her head, so they decided to look, and sure enough, little black bugs...YUCK! So they called all the parents to have them pick up their kids so they could spend the rest of the day deep cleaning. Never thought I'd be grateful for Isaac's lack of hair until now! :-) haha...it wasn't bad for us because, since she was older, she was downstairs while Isaac is upstairs, but still...I'm grateful the daycare took the precaution and got everyone out.

So, all is well in our home. Taylor continues to amaze me at how hard he is working in school and getting all his classes in order to graduate.

Oh, on a side note: we've planned our first own Housley family trip. I am SO excited. I told Taylor that I really want to take some weekend getaways as a family--I was feeling like we never go anywhere--which we do, but we usually go to Utah or Colorado. SO...we planned our first trip! I am so so so so excited! We are going to Las Vegas in August (can you say, HOT??) with some friends (Afton and Matson) and staying with some friends (Kellie and Skyler)! We'll fly from Idaho Falls (found CHEAP tickets) and leave on Friday and come back Monday...wahoo! It'll be so much fun...
