I've got to get better at this!

Ok. I have been chastised by countless people. I am ashamed to admit that I have pictures that have been sitting on my camera for over a month! I know that first time mothers are supposed to update pictures on a weekly if not daily basis. :o) Oh, but I have a good excuse. I am so busy chasing my little guy and being a Mommy that I haven't had the time to document the journey. I need a plan so that I don't look back on these days with regret because I can't remember what happened. So I need to pick a day each week where I will post to the blog. Hmmm... I also feel like I don't do a very good job with formatting and I really want to learn how to make things nice & pretty like a lot of other blogs I see.Isaac loves the trampoline at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Yesterday he made it up to 18 jumps before he fell down. He is really getting good at bouncing and keeping his balance. Here he is at the annual famiy St. Patrick's Day party.




















I was really anxious to see how Isaac would handle the car seat. In China he got to ride in our laps for two weeks before we came home. His first ride in the car seat went very well. Then we went through a period where it went very bad. Now he seems to accept that car seats are a necessary evil for when we go out in the world. I think he dislikes the car seat in Mama's car because he is in the backseat, but in Daddy's truck he gets to be up front. Here he seems quite content as he heads over to visit Nana & Big Gramps Stopyra. These are his first pair of "big boy" shoes. He really likes to wear his shoes and when we take them off he will bring them to us. We went to an art show with Nana & Big Gramps, but eventually the poor little guy got all tuckered out and fell asleep.


Did you know that the Easter Bunny makes multiple stops for good little boys? I didn't either. First he stopped by Isaac's house. When we went to visit Grandma & Grandpa after church we discovered that the Easter Bunny had made stop at their house too! Isaac generally enjoys going to the nursery, but Easter Sunday he didn't want anything to do with the nursery so he hung out with Mama, Daddy, and Uncle Joe in the balcony (thankfully nobody else was up there).I'm learning how to stack things nice & tall! The service was exceptionally S-L-O-W last Saturday when we went out to breakfast. Isaac was a real trooper and practiced his skills as a builder. He actually got it five high and it tumbled as he put the sixth coffee creamer on his tower.
I love to read! My cousin Emma loves this book so her Mommy and Daddy sent it to me. I love to lift the flaps and I'm learning my body parts.


Mama's two favorite boys!
