4 months young

Isaac hit the 4-month mark this week. He is getting more interactive and more fun every day. He is very curious about his toys and exploring them with his hands and especially his mouth. His head and body control are better all of the time and he managed to roll over to his back this week. Happy 4-months, Isaac!

Grandparents galore

Kristine (Perrie and Isaac's fabulous nanny), welcomed a new baby girl, Indiana, last month. Fortunately for us, she is coming back to have lots of baby fun at our house. While she is out, we are lucky to have nice grandparents who are willing to come to Seattle and fill in. We wish they lived just down the road, but I guess a plane flight away is going to have to be good enough for now.

Poor Isaac ... Grandma's camera is SO bright.

First Day of School

This month, we decided to start Perrie in a preschool. She only goes two mornings a week, but it gives her a chance to make some new friends and learn some new school skills. She says, "I'm going to go to school all by myself!" What an exciting time. Nothing like a new baby to accentuate how grown up your old baby is getting!

Does she look excited?!

Perrie is one silly imaginative little girl. She has grown a new obsession with ballet dancing. She watches YouTube videos of ballet moves and then tries to copy them. Last week, she got some "point shoes" -- now we have a ballet recital about every night. Someone has got to get this girl some real ballet lessons!

and this one is an original creation!

She is one spectacular big sister, and Isaac loves her.

The most fun is watching her imagination blossom - playing doctor.

And finally, a couple of new Isaac pics. He is growing so fast...
