A Day in the Life of Perm and His Wife: July 2009

Hello blog readers! I know it's been a long time since my last post and so this is going to be a long one! I'm gonna try to fill you in on what has been happening. I'll go ahead and start off with Isaiah's monthly pics with his friend the monkey. He's getting to be such a big boy!

Isaiah has discovered the monkey now. I don't think it's gonna be so easy to take these pics from now on!

For the last few months we have been able to visit with a lot of friends and family. As you know, my sister Stephanie and brother-in-law Heath, had their first child. Finn Cooper was born on 5/21- just a few hours past his auntie's birthday. We had such a great time visiting with them and can't wait until we get to see them again! Here is a pic of Isaiah with daddy getting ready to go swimming for the first time.

Don't I look cute in my swim trunks?

We also got to go visit my grandma. It was Isaiah's first visit with her and I have to say- he was spoiled with a lot of love that weekend. Here is a pic of the 4 generations.

While we were up north, we also got to visit our friends, the Kinnucan's. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of our time with them and their new addition, Violet, but if you click here, you can check out their blog too!

Also, during the month of May, I got to visit with my friend Brooke. We haven't gotten to spend much time together since she left for school, so the time we do get is always special. Here is a pic of her meeting Isaiah for the first time.

Recently, Jeremy's grandparents made the trip from Florida. While they were here, we all got together at Si and Chris' house. Once again, it was the first time that Isaiah got to meet his Great Grandparents on the Christian side. He got a lot of attention that day! Here is a photo of all of us!

In the last couple of months, Isaiah has started swim lessons, and began eating solid foods. He loves going to the pool and splashing around. He also seems to be the only kid there who isn't afraid to lie on his back with his ears in the water. It's so fun to watch him play!

Isaiah's first swim lesson.

His next big milestone was being able to eat solid food. We started with rice cereal and eventhough our pediatrician said he probably wouldn't like it, he ate like a pro! For the last 2 months, Isaiah has been eating baby food, and so far, we haven't found anything that this kid won't eat. He wasn't a big fan of the turkey by itself, but as soon as we mixed it with some sweet potatoes, he ate it up! I decided to let him try to feed himself, just for fun! Here is the evidence of that feeding session!

Messy Face!

I took Isaiah to the doctor on Friday for a check up and found out that he is now 19 lbs and 3 oz and stands 27 1/2 inches tall. He's getting to be such a big boy.

I realize there is so much more that I could update on, but this thing is going to be rediculous! Following are a few random pictures and videos.

Cheesing for the camera!

Swinging at the park.

He loves playing with his rainforest waterfall! His little booty is sticking out!

This video is of Isaiah playing with the rainforest waterfall again. I heard him blowing raspberries and walked it to find this:

A trip to the zoo with Danielle and Liam- He's ready to go!

The zoo was a little tiring! Poor litle dude was wiped out!

There are a few more exciting tidbits to update you on now that I think about it. First... Isaiah said his first word! It was... "mama"! I was soo excited, but he doesn't say it much anymore. Now, everything is dadada, but that's okay- I still know what was first! Secondly... Isaiah started crawling. He is now crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. We definately can't take our eyes off of him now! Here is a video of his newest accomplishment!

Lastly, Isaiah got his first tooth! It still cracks me up to see him smile with that tooth sticking out.

We also entered Isaiah into the Beautiful Babies Contest on Fox 59. For those of you who haven't seen the contest pic, you can follow this link to vote

Finally, this post comes to an end. But not before we get some pictures of our house on here. Everything is coming along really well. We are set to close on the house on August 14th!
