It is so hard to believe that 9 months ago I was in the hospital with my brand new baby boy!  He changes daily.  Time is going way to fast, I want to push pause and enjoy him at this age for a while longer. So what is Isaac up to?  He is eating everything he can find and put in his mouth.  This includes but is not limited to baby food, crackers, bananas, bugs and grass.  Yes, he is all BOY!

A few years ago Chris introduced me to a new social network called Plurk.  My first thought was, ohh great another site I have to go to and update.  I decided to give it a shot and I am so glad I did.  Had I not taken a chance with Plurk I would have missed out on meeting some really great people.  Today I want to talk to you about Aubrey and Kevin. In being nosy one day I found Aubrey on

WARNING! I need to vent.  If you don't want to hear my rant turn away now. Let me start with a little background info.  Jordan and myself have an eye condition that we inherited.  I spoke about my problems in detail on a separate post. Jordan's condition is a little different.  He has Coloboma and Nystagmus but his condition is a bit more severe.  We have known for several years now that he is

I can not believe everything Isaac is doing now.  He talks all the time, loves to laugh and play with Jordan and just over a week ago he started crawling!  He mastered this skill while we were in Arkansas visiting family and friends. He is 7 months and 3 weeks old here. It was not long until he was crawling to objects and trying to stand up..... Tonight, I put him to bed.  A few minutes later

Seven years ago Chris and I got a new vacuum.  We were young and didn't have a lot of money so we opted to get one of the Bissell's that Wal-mart had on sale.  It was a great buy.  The only issue we had was putting the stupid thing together.  For 7 years it worked great! It was with us for 6 different houses and 7 years of having a kid.  It never gave us issues....until last week. It just stopped

I have completely failed on my 365 day challenge. Why? Honesrly, I just lost interest. I got tired of taking what I felt like were the same boring pictures. I was affraid my readers were getting burned out too. Well, I got my second wind and I am back! I realzed that I had been documenting Isaac's firsr year and I owe it to him to continue to do that. Today's picture is Isaac's first time

Isaac was sitting up playing in his gym and when he fell over he took the gym with him.  He never once cried, just continued playing like nothing had happened.

I have been doing really well on my 365 day blog...and then summer and vacation happened.  Things have been very busy and I am now two weeks behind.  In the last two weeks we have done birthday parties and a trip to Orlando for my brother's wedding.  I will get some pictures posted for you soon, but if you can't wait and are friends with me on facebook you can see the pictures here.

You weigh about 17 pounds and have very cute chubby legs and arms.  You love to be tickled especially on your inner legs, tummy and neck! You are a very happy, very active little guy.  You are always talking and making sure we know you are in the same room.  If we don't pay enough attention to you, you will yell out very
