Reading Books, 5 months in...

Nate snapped this photo of Olivia and I reading our library books this morning.  Trying to make the most of Isaac's nap time and glad to be in a photo with my sweet girl:)

OH- and other random excitement from this weekend- we realized as Isaac turned 8 months we have been in Amherst for 8 months.  Definitely hard to believe!!!  One of the hardest things for me about moving is making new friends- my "old" friends leave A LOT to live up to!  But God is faithful and we are making new ones here, slowly but surely.  Pointed out this weekend by having a full social calendar, locally in Amherst!!!  Three dinner "parties"  in a row- Fri, Sat and Sun!  Plus church.  What fun!!!

Brother and Sister

As I tried to get a photo after church yesterday this is what followed...I LOVE THEM!!!

 

Isaac 8 Months

Isaac continues to be on the move this month- still with his belly on the floor.  Sometimes if someone sets him  up to crawl, he will stay up for a few moments and rock, but quickly puts his belly down if he wants to GO somewhere.  He is also VERY interested in standing up!  Often he will crawl to Nate and "ask" for help to stand.  I have been trying to feed him three "meals" a day in order to help his schedule be more consistent/sleep better at night.  I think last night he only got up once, which was a good night, though I am not totally sure since its all starting to blend together.  When he sleeps well, Olivia usually gets up more/longer so its hard to get any consistent sleep these days.  They both still have colds which hasn't helped either.  Isaac definitely has a voice these days!  And yesterday Nate thought he said "mama" when they were riding around in Target.  I didn't really believe him till this morning when I very clearly heard "mama" come from his mouth!  Unbelievable and exciting!  Oh, and he as three more teeth up top!!!  (also could be contributing to the not great sleep...)  We continue to adore this big little handsome guy!!!

Just for fun, Olivia at 8 months...I am blessed with two beautiful babies!!!
