Game Day!!

This weekend Bill and I finally made our way back to DKR Memorial Stadium to watch a UT football game versus Baylor. Neither of us had been to a game since college, so needless to say, we were VERY excited! It was a be-lated birthday present to me...and it was perfect! Although our seats were basically as high up as you could get, it was still TONS of fun. Isaac stayed home (even babies have to have a ticket to get into a UT game) and our friends Gordon and Doris and Gracie watched him for us. Thankfully, after a rocky first half, the Horns pulled off a dominating win!

Not only did we get to go to the game, but one of Jessica's best friends came into town from Connecticut for the game also! We didn't get to sit together for the game, but we met up for some good 'ol Rudy's BBQ afterwards. Such a fun weekend!!! Here are some pics to commemorate the event!

Me and my besties...and Isaac...such a ladies' man :)

6 months old...and all's well!

As promised, I am updating after Isaac's 6 months doctor's appointment on Monday. Here are the latest stats:
Weight: 18 lbs.
Height: 27 in.

He's slowed down a little in his weight gain...so they were slightly concerned that he didn't gain more since his last visit...which is really funny because Isaac eats like a champ. They are REALLY concerned about him...but they are just going to keep an eye to make sure he's steadily gaining like he is supposed to. He is such a champ! He had three shots (including flu) and did really well. He cried for just a second afterwards, and then he was fine. He did end up getting a low-grade fever the next day, which happened last time he got shots too...so we weren't really worried. Other fun stuff: After rolling over like crazy on the floor, he's discovered he can roll over in his crib! Fun stuff! He rolls all over the crib, but the beauty is that he puts himself to sleep on his tummy and sleeps ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Woo Hoo!! He loves reading books at bedtime, and loves mommy singing to him. He's also been eating veggies lately...here is his list, in order of preference.

1. Sweet Potatoes (his new favorite, as of tonight) :)
2. Carrots
3. Green Beans
4. Peas

We're trying squash next, and then moving on to meats! So far he hasn't had a reaction to anything, so hopefully that will continue and we won't have to worry about food allergies in his future!

He has also recently discovered splashing in the bathtub. It's histarical because he'll splash, and then get surprised when his face gets wet...but he loves it! Here is a rough video of him at bath time having fun. (Disclaimer: video was shot with Jessica's cell phone...so it's a little rough)

Isaac's First Halloween and Happy 6 Month Birthday!

So Isaac's first Halloween finally arrived. He had a few outfit changes throughout the day to commemorate the big event. We decided not to get him a "real costume" since they are all hot and we didn't want him to be miserable. SO, we ended up putting him in the M&M outfit (onsie) that we got when we went to New York in January. We went over to our friends' house and had dinner and dessert before we all parted ways to go trick-or-treating. We didn't really take Isaac trick or treating this year...we just went by a friends house so they could see him. It was a fun night, and our little man was definitely wiped out in the end....here are some pics!
