Little Love

These are just some pictures of Isaiah that I love! The 2 in the walker are the day he got his first tooth, so he looks sleepy and silly. I love the innocence of him and his sweet looks at momma. I am so blessed by him.

Mother's Day

Here are pictures from my first "physical" Mother's Day. Last year was exciting, but this year topped it all by actually having my little man to hug and love. What a wonderful day it was! I was up before Isaiah to get ready for church. From exiting the shower, I heard the sweet sounds of my little boy, talking, squealing and playing with his toys. What a sound to a momma's ears. He is the reason for this day. Without him, Mother's Day wouldn't have special meaning, except for honoring my mother and mother-in-law. So now, no matter what happens in this life, I am a mother. God has given me this high calling that I can only succeed in if I trust in Him. He has given me my precious son Isaiah to grow in this life. I am forever thankful for that!

Proud Boy

Isaiah is the very proud owner of... a tooth! I noticed yesterday that his gums looked swollen and white. Today I felt the first rigid edge of that tooth and the other one is close behind. The bottom left will be approaching first it seems, followed by the bottom right. Momma is also very proud!
When I can get good pictures, we will definitely show them off.

Prayers

Isaiah was seen by his pediatrician today due to vomiting and spitting up a lot. I was concerned with reflux and wanted some medication for him to see if it would help at all. His Dr was concerned that Isaiah was getting worse with solid foods instead of better. He said that shouldn't be the case, so he did prescribe zantac, which is an acid reducer. Isaiah has to have that 2 times a day. It is very expensive. More than $1.00 a day. He said that should help. BUT, he also wants a barium test done. So on Thursday, Isaiah will have to go to the hospital and drink some stuff in his formula and go through 2 hours of tests. It will be x-rays to watch the dye go through his system. His Dr was concerned that there could be some anatomical abnormalities and that is what is causing his sensitivities.

So please pray that all is well with his little system and that the medicine will clear up these lingering feeding problems. Also that he will drink the stuff with no problems and the tests will be able to show everything accurately.

Thanks for all the love!

Swingin'

Isaiah got this swing from Uncle Pete, Aunt Alice, Charity and Sammy. He LOVES it!! Since it was still too cold to put it outside, it was in our living room. Daddy sends Isaiah flying and he just giggles and giggles. I can't wait to put it outside this summer for him to use. I think it would put him to sleep. He has been close a couple of times.

Isaiah enjoys being outside so much, so he goes on a lot of walks with momma. Whenever he is fussing, all we have to do is take him outside and all is well. I don't know what I will do come winter time and he is starting to run around!

I love my Auntie

This was Isaiah's Easter present from Aunt Joy. Of course he loves her so much. He had fun with her over the past weekend and will see her again in 2 weeks. She is letting us stay at her house and maybe taking us to the airport for our trip to Florida. Momma loves when Auntie Joy is around because she gets a little break since Aunt Joy LOVES to take care of Isaiah.

Boys and their Toys

Isaiah and Pap-pap on the motorcycle. Isaiah was more interested in looking at it instead of momma taking the picture.

6 month pictures

This is one of Isaiah's 6 month pictures by Melissa Jacobs. They turned out great! He is so sweet.

6 Months

Isaiah had his 6 month pictures done today. They are so cute! I am having a hard time picking my favorites. I think my wall will turn into a mural of him. What will I do if I have more kids!

Isaiah is growing up so fast. He is putting himself to sleep with naps and bedtime. There is usually some fussing for about 5 mintues, but then there is blissful sleep! Since doing this, his nap times have improved to 1 1/2 to 2 hours. What a blessing for momma to get some things done!

He still has no teeth coming yet. I keep hoping, but then it will show me even more how much he is growing up.

Isaiah continues to be a pure joy to Andy and I. I marvel at God's love for us to give us this precious baby to love and grow. I am forever thankful!

Easter pics

Uncle Tim

Uncle Tim loves to play with Isaiah!  

What a cutie!

Isaiah loves to sit in his Bumbo!
Check out those eyes! 

Samuel Peter

Sammy loved to kiss Isaiah and bring him toys to play with. He can't wait until Isaiah will play trucks with him! 

Charity Grace

Isaiah finally got to meet his cousins. Charity is so sweet and would cover Isaiah in kisses! She loves his "little feet." 

Grand-children

Grandma was glad to have her 3 kiddos all together! Of course, it is difficult to have all of them watch the camera at once.
 

Too handsome

 

Pouty Face

Momma had to get a pouty face picture. Too cute! 

A true miracle

Today at church we had Isaiah anointed and prayed over. We truly believe that God healed him. He has not had any diarrhea since before I left for church. His appetite picked up as well. We truly serve a wonderful God. He provided us with our miracle son and continues to lavish His love on us. We are so truly grateful and we love all of you, our friends and family, who also go to God on our behalf. We covet your prayers! We love you all!
