I think I can...I think I can!

We'll begin with a random cute picture of Isaac. He was in the mood to "chat" this afternoon, and I was ready and waiting with the camera. Here's where the title of this post begins to apply. Isaac has been trying to roll over lately. This time, I had my camera ready. He didn't actually make it all the way over (on his own), but he certainly did try. He can roll over onto his hip and stay there, which he loves to do.

Just after his 2:00 bottle. He was ready to play, despite an earlier tummy ache. He was trying to roll over and rotated in the process.

Almost there!



I did it!.............with Momma's help.



As for other Isaac news, he really is babbling and doing pre-talking a LOT. Tonight, as we were changing a diaper just before our 6:00 bottle, I sat Justin's picture down beside him. Isaac tried to roll over to grab the picture the entire time I was changing him. This is the picture of Daddy that we hug and kiss each night as we're getting ready for bed. When we'd finished changing, I set the picture back onto the chest-of-drawers. I picked Isaac up, and as we were walking out of the room away from the picture, Isaac squeals (as he's begun to do lately), "Daaa!" It may have been pure coincidence, but I believe Isaac is getting ready to say Daddy. The video camera will be working overtime as we prepare to capture that special moment when it does happen.

Glad to see that Isaac is doing well and trying his best to rollover and noticing Justins picture. He will be walking and talking before you know it. GOD BLESS and be safe. Your former church family will be praying for you.

These pictures made me smile really big! I am going to download them onto my camera and onto Ninnie's card for her digital picture frame. Keep the pictures coming. Love, kisses and prayers from me to you. Love ya, Momma

Justin -- I'm not sure how much he weighs yet. I'll have to weigh with and without him tomorrow to get an approximation. We go to the doctor next Thursday (your birthday), so I'll find out then exactly how much he weighs and how much he's grown. I love you.

Hey Emily!! Issac is precious. Our twins are doing about the same as Issac. Alex can roll over by himself, but Luke has to have a little help. They also love baby food and both are growing. I'll post some pics soon. Hope you and Issac are doing good. You are in our prayers. Laura Jo
