The Last Few Weeks

The last few weeks have been filled with lots of fun summer things. This past weekend Isaiah visited the county fair and saw live animals that he's only read about in books. He really enjoyed seeing the ducks, pigs and cows. Here is Isaiah completely intrigued with the oinking pigs

Another new thing that we have been experiencing this summer is weaning Isaiah from the bottle to just the sippy cup and solid food. Since we feed him with our hands and he eats only with his hands, he tried doing the same to Dan yesterday. It was hilarious! He just kept stuffing carrots into Dan's mouth.

We also enjoyed a surprise 30th birthday bash for my sister-in-law, Jodi, given by my brother. She was totally surprised! In return she and David surprised all of us with the BIG NEWS that they are expecting their first baby this winter! It was so fun to hear! Here we are having lunch with Dave, Jodi, Steve and Liz the day after the surprise party.

Julie and Jane came up from Fargo to join us for the birthday surprise
Isaiah has also turned into quite the climber, he loves standing at our window and yelling out to the birds. Here he is with his little buddy Elias teaching him the ropes of walking along the wall heater to look out the window.

One of the big highlights has been seeing cousins this summer. Here is Isaiah with one of his oldest cousins, Brett. Isaiah LOVES Brett and his other cousins. He cries every time they leave his sight. Hopefully we will see lots more of the cousins.
