Um...ya...a big problem. This is the first time that this has happened. Isaac is still sleeping in the pack 'n play in our room, as we are in the process of painting Noah's new room so that Isaac can be moved. Well, this motivates me even more to get things moved around...I'm thinking that the big boy crib will be a better fit for this little monkey! I'm just hoping that he doesn't learn to crawl out of the crib when he's older...Noah and Leah *never* even tried to get out. I'm thinking that Isaac is going to be the one to give it a go!

"Houston, we have a problem..."

1 Fish, 2 Fish
Noah and Leah would stay in the tubby all day long if I let them. They LOVE playing in the water, and this morning they convinced me let them stay in...for 45 minutes! I had to keep warming up the water because it kept getting cold. I'm convinced that they'll turn in to fish if they stay in any longer ;).

Isaac ~ 6 Months
That's right...our precious little Isaac is SIX months old. I can't believe it...in only six more {short} months, my baby is going to be ONE. I don't even want to think about how fast the time is passing. I know I always say that, but it just amazes me how quickly my little ones are growing up. STOP GROWING!
Isaac is growing so fast and is literally changing right before our eyes. It is amazing to watch and to see what he is going to do next. Here are some highlights from this past month:
~ He is rolling everywhere, and he rolls FAST!
~ He can now get up on his hands and knees, and he is SO close to crawling. If he is on his belly, he instantly gets up on all fours. No more sitting on his belly...he wants to be up so that he can see what is going on!
~ He is also very close to sitting up all by himself. He can usually support himself for about a minute before he tips over.
~ He has found his voice, and he knows how to use it! Thankfully he doesn't scream all of the time...just when he really wants some attention.
~ He is SO spoiled! I still pretty much hold him all of the time, or if he's on the ground, I'm usually right there with him. He does *NOT* like to be alone, and it just breaks my heart to hear him cry. So, my solution is give him what he wants, and what he wants is to be with his mama, and I don't mind one bit :).
~ He has the saddest cry ever! And the face that goes along with it will break your heart. I just wish that he would realize that are times that I have to put him down and that he wouldn't cry. We're working on it :).
~ He thinks that Leah is HILARIOUS! She can get him laughing when no one else can.
~ He loves to play Peek-a-Boo. He has the cutest little belly laugh and we can really get him going when we play this with him. The best is when he is crying and we say "Peek-a-boo" and he instantly starts to laugh. So...he'll have tears running down his sweet cheeks, then he'll start to laugh uncontrollably. It's pretty funny to watch...especially when he starts crying again, and then laughs again...back and forth.
~ He's an alright sleeper...I just wish that he would sleep past 5:00 in the morning. Thankfully, I usually just have to feed him, and then he goes right back to sleep. BUT, I just wish that he would wake up at 6:00 instead because the moment I wake up, it's SO hard to go back to sleep. Needless to say, I'm still a bit sleep deprived!
~ He STILL hates being in his carseat. I'm convinced that there is nothing that I can do to make him like it.
~ He is starting to enjoy playing with toys and he is SO fascinated with all of his new discoveries :).
~ He grabs anything and everything within reach. He is constantly grabbing my hair when I am holding him, and he is always lunging for whatever is in my hands {food, glass of water, toy, etc...}. The best is when he's on my lap when we're eating and he grabs my food and throws it on the floor...lovely. And...you would think that I would learn to not hold him on my lap, but no...
~ His hair is coming in darker than we all expected, and it's also really fuzzy! And his eyes...we still don't know what color they are going to be, but they definitely won't be brown like Noah and Leah's.
Words can't explain how much this little guy has changed us all for the good...we definitely has us all wrapped around his little finger :).
Noah loves to hang out next to Isaac...here Noah's showing Isaac how to play Mario.

Santa ~ 2010
We went to see Santa Claus this past weekend, and everything went as expected:
~ Noah didn't really talk to him, although he did show him a picture of what he wanted for Christmas {a John Deere Loader that he can drive around}.
~ Leah wanted nothing to do with him. Maybe she'll warm up to him by next year...we'll see.
~ Isaac could have cared less, and was the only one who would sit on Santa's lap.
Here's our traditional Santa picture from this year...

Noah's Preschool Christmas Program
Tonight was a great night. Tonight was my FIRST borns FIRST Christmas Program!
I've been looking forward to this event for a long time, and it was wonderful.
Noah's been practicing the songs for the program every day, and it is the cutest thing in the world to watch. He'll sing his songs anytime, anywhere...playing, eating, reading, in the tubby, etc... I have just loved sneaking in on him and listing to him :).
Well, tonight was the *big* night, where all of his practicing was going to pay off...and it DID! I was so, SO, proud of him...he knew every word to every song, and he knew every action as well. I had NO idea to what was going to be in the actual program because he wouldn't tell me...he said that it was a secret!
Well, I was glad to be surprised tonight and watch my precious little boy perform for the very first time in front of so many people. It was a night that I will never forget. It really was a great night!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
What a stud! Just look at him...he's so handsome :).
And this was the best song of all...Jingle Bells! The boys {there are 5 in his class, and like 10 girls} wore these sunglasses and acted hip by folding their arms...rapper style! Then, when the time came, they would say "Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way" *really* loud and in a low voice...it was SO cute and so funny. I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard...it was GREAT! I have a video and I'm going to try and post it soon...it's worth watching :).
Leah had a great time watching Noah, and she especially liked all of the goodies at the end of the performance.
And I can't forget this cute little guy...Isaac was SO good too! He had fun blowing raspberries the entire time...the evidence is all over his face. Now, not only does he drool a ton, but he blows raspberries as well. Lovely.
Thanks to all of Noah's grandmas and grandpas that came to watch...I know that it meant a lot to him to have you there :). He told me so!

Temple Square ~ 2010
I love going to see the lights at Temple Square. Our trip there is usually very quick, but it is SO worth it! We picked Doug up from work last night and headed straight over so that we could see everything before it got *too* cold. The children were all bundled up and I *think* that they had a fun time. Noah asked to go inside a few times because he was cold, but that's to be expected. I hope that we can keep this tradition alive in our family and go to see the lights every year!
My precious boys...man, oh man, I love them :).
Us. I love the forced smiles from Noah and Leah. I'm not surprised!
Leah loved sitting in the stroller all bundled up. She was so, so good when we first started walking around...and then...it happened...THE TANTRUM that came out of nowhere! Leah suddenly decided that she didn't want her coat on, yet she said that she was cold, yet she wouldn't put her coat on...ya...I don't get it either! Then she didn't want to be in the stroller, then she did, then she didn't, etc... Thankfully this all happened when we were leaving! Needless to say, it took us *forever* to get to the car. Seriously, girl, you're really good at adding a little spice to everything :).
So, SO, beautiful!!

Christmas Tree ~ 2010
We put up our Chrismtas tree on Thanksgiving morning this year. It seemed like the perfect thing to do while we were watching the parade. And the best thing about decorating the tree this year was all of the help from our little Spiderman and cute little Fairy! Fun times!
Noah and Leah were SO excited when it was *finally* time to start putting the ornaments on the tree.
Noah with his FIRST CHRISTMAS ornament.
Leah decided to put all of her ornaments on one branch. And, notice how all of the ornaments that she chose to hang were the *girly* ones. Typical.
Then Isaac decided to wake up and help us :). He's such a happy little guy when he wakes up...love it!
The finished product.
Man, oh man, I seriously love this time of year! And I LOVE having the tree lit up all...day...long! It's the BEST!
