Dr. Evil

He totally looks like him, doesn't he?

 All I need is that awkward pinky finger in the mouth. Which actually wouldn't be too hard considering he shoves everything in his pie hole now. My cutie patootie.

He can even get his binky in there. He can use both hands and pass back and forth.

 No hair. Is it really THAT big of a surprise?

Here is Mara around the same age:

 Truth be told, I think Isaac has less hair than she did...

I haven't taken Isaac's 5 month shots yet since it's not the 20th yet. But I did just play around with the camera for fun. Look how big and strong!

 

 

 

 

 Tickle tickle! Raspberries!

 

 He really does smile a bunch - I just wasn't getting it on camera! I tried so hard.

He's definitely a Daddy's boy. Loves loves LOVES to see his Daddy. He can be crying with me and Dad pops in and he pretends like he wasn't just bawling his eyes out.

Oh, it's you, Dad! No, nothing was going on here. I was being an angel.

Yeah, right.

Luckily, Dad comes in handy for a few shots of me and my boy together.

Yes, he really is that pale.

Although, I think the one ray of sunlight was shining right on him... so maybe he's a few shades darker.

Think Dr. Evil with a slight tan.

 And my little angel Mara. My light and my smile.

 She makes me laugh every.single.day.

"Mom, where's Mr. Sun's bed?"

"He doesn't have a bed, honey."

"Oh. Does he sleep on the couch?"

 I told her I saw a rainbow on my way to pick her up but it didn't last long.

"Well, next time you see a rainbow, you'll tell me, okay?"

She REMEMBERS so much of what we tell her.

She tries to make jokes.

"Naahhhh, I was being SILLY!" She says.

She points out landmarks on the way to school.

"That's the tower that makes Daddy's cell phone work. That makes EVERYBODY'S phones work."

"Does anybody see the water tower? It is really tall and has a head and a lot of legs."

"Is that the big kid's school?"

Etc.

 She stepped to the other side of the chair and I was already leaning so far with Isaac facing this way. But awesome job taking pictures, honey!

We are still struggling with some constipation issues with Mara. It breaks my heart as she screams in pain, tears running down her face. But Murilax is at least helping.

 

I asked her on the phone today, "Did you play on the balance beam at school?"

"Um, no."

"Oh, did you run around?"

"Well, I ran around AND I walked around."

 Hahaha. Love her.

 

I have pics from Mara's friend's birthday party still, and we hit the fair tomorrow!

Stay tuned.

Isaac - 4 Months

Four months flies by.

Baldo McPoops His Pants

Mr. Isaac, the force of nature that he is (literally - just check the weather!), has brought us more debris in his diaper than ever before! Thankfully, Ms. Moberry Potato is sitting on the big (adult!) potty and keeping control of her bowels, for the most part. Whew. Lots of potty talk. Sorry.

My love bug.

AND sorry for not getting to the beach pictures yet. I'm a little short on time so all I can really get to are some month pictures. Here's Isaac's 2 month shoot (at the beach) and some comparison photos. Sadly, I did not take any Isaac belly photos. OH well. See if you can pick out who is who!

 

 

 

And here are his 3 month shots. We had stuff happen in between, like his baptism - but this is all I have time for now. His sister's 3 month shots are sprinkled in here, too!

 

 

 

Any guesses on that last one?

Here's me and my love bugs:

And a picture for your entertainment:

And, um, is it just me or does my child resemble Droopy? Just sayin... he has room for some extra acorns...

Quick Update:

Mara's potty trained.

Chrissy started back to work on August 16th - misses the kids a LOT.

Isaac's eating 5 ounce bottles at daycare. Flirts with his teachers (smiles, coo's)

Zack's new job takes a lot of time.

Chrissy got out for a girl's night (pizza and movie in with some girlfriends) while Z manned the house and the kids. Everyone survived.

Mara asks Chrissy questions on the phone now - "Are you at work?"

Mara's big words that she actually uses correctly: delicate, comfortable, poop crusties (yes, she used this to explain something... I won't go any further).

I'll have to keep track of the other big words she's using. Everyone, almost EVERYONE comments on her speech. Different teachers and parents at daycare, random people at the park. We are very very proud. OK time for bed.
