Isaac's first day of school (pre-school) April 17th
Ike started pre-school in mid-April through the school districts' head start program so he could get speech therapy. He goes M-TH from 9 to 11:30am until June 4th. I know he needs it; but it was pretty sad to send him that first day. Boy, times goes fast!! He doesn't seem old enough to go to school already. Of course, he cried a ton for the first week, some the second week and now he just gives us a "Bye-Bye" with a quiver in his voice and a wave!! But, I also get the BIGGEST smile and HUG when I go pick him up!!
Drew's first bites of rice cereal! The very first day; he didn't seem to mind it. He didn't really pull any faces and he ate it like it was no big deal. However, the next 5 or so times he cried his eyes out or got really mad at me! Not sure why? It seems like I have to catch him in the right mood to eat. We have given up on rice cereal for awhile and have tried: squash, sweet potatoes and peas with some success. Next week we are going to try oatmeal and see if that goes any better.
Isaac's first self-portrait!While my mom and I were busy taking video footage of Drew's first bites; Isaac took the camera off of the table and snapped a few photos of himself!! This first one isn't too bad; especially for a 3 year old!
Drew's first tooth (followed the very next day by his 2nd tooth)I know you can't really see his two little bottom teeth....but the first one cut through on April 29th followed by the other one on the 30th. I couldn't get him to stop chewing on things for the picture.........in fact, we still CAN'T get him to stop chewing on everything. It looks like his top two teeth are also pretty close to cutting through. Regardless of teething he seems to be a "I put everything in my mouth" baby....Isaac was never as chewy as Drew.
Isaac's first night in his toddler bed!!
Yes, this is just his crib minus the front rail. (And yes, he was 3 years old and still in a crib...and yes, those are his binkies still in his hands.....and yes, I know I am a bad mother). We ordered the toddler rail for his bed while we still lived in Utah. When it came the move was getting close and we had decided to wait to take him out of his crib until after the move so we left it in the box. Well, when we took it out this weekend to put it on we found out that Babies 'R Us actually ordered the wrong rail. The rail we have doesn't fit on his bed. So, we just left the front of the crib off and decided to try it out! Amazingly, it has gone great so far!! Two days into it and he really hasn't even tried to get out (even at nap time -HALLELUJAH)! In fact, the first morning we woke up to him saying "I want to get out" while we was still sitting in his bed. Very funny!!
First post of the boys in MATCHING outfits!!The first of many too come. I got lots of great bargains on some matching clothes for the boys at the Children's Place (my favorite kids clothing store).
