Happy Thanksgiving

We had a busy Thanksgiving day with the Strusis family. We started with breakfast with Amy's (Jason's girlfriend) family and ended with a big dinner with extended family. Isaiah got to meet a lot of new people and enjoyed playing with his cousins. Matthew and I found out how much crazier the holidays are with a kid.

We finally got a picture with all three of them looking at the camera.

4 month Appointment

Isaiah had his 4 month check-up today and everything is looking good. He weighed 15 lbs (45%) and was 27 inches long (95%); tall and thin like his daddy. His eczema is still an issue, but we're learning to control it a little better. We are going to hold off on allergy tests for now, but that may be a future step. Isaiah learned to roll over onto his stomach last week (first time he was swaddled in his crib), so he has been learning how to sleep without the swaddle and enjoying his new favorite sleeping position (stomach).

It is a beautiful sunny day (70 degrees) today, so we decided we would take a few pictures by the creek next to our house. Plus, Isaiah's outfit matched the trees so perfectly.

4 Months!

We have had 4 wonderful months with Isaiah; his personality is showing more and more each day. He loves to play on his play mat and talk to and grab all the animals that hang from it. His 4 month appointment is in a week and 1/2, so we'll find out his stats then. His eczema is still giving him some problems. It is pretty bad on his face around his eyes right now and he would like to scratch it all of the time if we would let him. We're still working on trying to find the cause of it. So, Isaiah's favorite things are...standing up (he loves grabbing our fingers and pulling up to standing), baths, reading books, watching Stella (our dog) play, and going for walks in the forest. Here are a few pictures of Isaiah. Click on the picture to see it larger.

Yeah Giants!

The San Francisco Giants won the World Series last night. Matthew has been excited about watching all the world series games (and all the other playoff games leading up to it) and I am excited that it is over so we don't have to have baseball on every night :) Here are some pictures of Matthew and Isaiah watching the game.

Halloween

We went to the annual Halloween party at Frontier Ranch (mission Springs) with a bunch of the local families on Sat. night. It was fun and Isaiah looked cute in his costume. He was a galaxy (easy last minute costume requiring pj's and glow-in-the-dark stars). Matthew was sad we couldn't keep Isaiah out late to see him glow.
