Nathan~Alyssa~Isaac: July 2008

In Memory Of...

It seems like everything is about baby these days. Look at my posts. Baby baby baby. And that's because I spend most of my time taking care of Isaac. He's my world right now. Don't get me wrong. I'm not unhappy. I'm living my greatest dream. But part of me mourns the loss of my old self. You know how people know they've really learned a language when they dream in it? Well, I still dream in ballet all the time. Although I'll probably never take it up again (for reasons other than baby), it's still a huge part of me. So, here's to the good old days.

I know that it's important for me to do things for me. I sometimes sew or scrapbook a little. And those bubble baths are sure nice. It's hard to find time for these things, though. And I wish I could get involved with something more. What do you do for you? Feel free to leave a comment about how you're keeping it real.

First Solid Food...

Isaac hit the ripe old age of 5 months, and we decided to go ahead and start the solid foods. So on July 17th, we got out the high chair (Alright. This is just his car seat. We didn't have his highchair yet), and embarked on a great adventure. The featured item on the menu was rice cereal, and he obviously loved it. Here are a few pictures of the occasion. At his request, I've included his internal dialogue.

Our neckless wonder...

Nate recently said, "I hope our little baby will grow a neck someday".

Fourth of July

We had a fun time on the 4th of July. We went hiking on the Donut Falls trail, and it was so beautiful. It was nice and cool, and there were lots of wildflowers. We ate burgers for dinner, and then went and watched the Riverton fireworks. Isaac was a good sport the whole time, and seemed pretty intrigued by the fireworks. Here are a few pictures:

No Thanks...

So, I learned that Isaac doesn't dig swimming yet. I took him to my friend's pool, and he just really didn't like the water. But we had a good time anyway. He'll probably like it more later on. It was so fun to see him in his little swimmer diaper. I wish I would have taken a couple pictures of him in the water.
