Why the fuzzy pictures, you ask? Because I think they are absolutely adorable and really show Isaac's personality. This first one is of Isaac in his crib at about 7:30am. Ryan went in his bedroom to check on him one morning. This is what he found--Isaac, not making even a peep, with one leg crossed over the other, sucking his thumb. The picture didn't turn out so great because Ryan took it in the dark (as not to startle Isaac and ruin his pose--instead he let the flash startle him right after the picture was taken).
There is also a picture of Isaac in his
Bumbo chair when he helped me make "cookie brownies" a couple of days ago. Finally, I've posted a picture of Isaac's latest face. He has started making it when he's upset--he puckers his lips and breathes in and out really hard like a bull getting ready to pounce. It cracks me up. I will have to get a better picture but he never wants to perform when he sees the camera. Anyway, things are going well for us. Ryan is very busy with school but he is doing awesome in his classes--I am married to such a smart
y-pants.
He is very good to Isaac and I and always makes time for us even with his busy studying schedule.
We are having a lot of fun and getting to know a lot of people that I'm sure we'll be friends with for years to come. They are already becoming our Iowa family.

Today we decided to spend some time outside together since this past week has been extra-busy for Ryan and we were all in need of a little family time. We went to the farmer's market and then headed down to the river to watch a Regatta, which apparently, according to Wikipedia, is a boat race (who knew?). It was a little bit uneventful because they seemed to warm up over and over without ever racing. Ryan did take the picture above of the two canoes crossing the finish line (too bad they were still warming up at that point instead of actually racing). We also took Isaac to the park and tried to push him on the swings. He's still a little bit small, even for the baby swings, but hopefully he'll be big enough to try out Grandpa's swings before too long. That boy loves to be outside. The weather here is perfect this time of year. We are told to enjoy it because it won't last much longer before winter sets in, so that's just what we've been doing.
