Smile!

Here it is, Isaac's first smile on camera! We have been getting these smiles for days now but have not been willing to miss the smiles to get the camera. Daddy got this one while Mommy was waiting, ready with the camera.

Gardening with Mia

Mia is so thoughtful. One day Mia came home with two flowers for Calvin to plant, and a yellow rosebush for me (my favorite). Mia knew just what Calvin would love, digging in the dirt. Calvin and Mia spent some time early one morning outside planting the flowers and watering them. Look at those tiny gardening gloves! Calvin is so excited to water the plants now, he says they are "thirsty." This little watering can has moved with us all the way from our first apartment in Tampa in 1999.

Fun at the Park

While Daddy was in Vegas, Mia came to stay with us. One day we had an outing to the park. Calvin had a great time "hiking" in the woods, pointing out all the leaves, plants, and baby pine cones. The cute comment of the day was, "These are baby pine cones, they cry a lot."

One Month Old

Saturday, Daddy got the first awake smile from our little Isaac. He is getting to know our faces and voices and it shows. Our little one is already a month old. At his 1 month checkup he was a whopping 8 lbs, 11 ozs. That adds up to 21 ozs gained in just 17 days since his last appointment!

Brotherly Love

Calvin got down on the playmat with Isaac this afternoon and started "playing" with him. Isaac was watching Calvin's antics and even obliged by holding on to Calvin's thumb. Calvin was thrilled and squealed, "He is holding on to my hand!" So sweet to see them already getting to know each other.

New Expressions

These baby expressions just make me smile. I am still waiting to catch his newly acquired skill of smiling at Daddy on camera. Be sure to check out all of the other Isaac expressions in the slide show titled "1 month old."

Bouncy Chair

We pulled out the bouncy chair yesterday and sat Isaac in it for the first time. I don't think he is too sure about it :)
