4 Months!

Isaiah had his 4 month check-up yesterday and is doing great! He was 14lbs. 4oz. and was 25 3/4 inches long. He's healthy and happy! The doctor said we can start him on rice cereal, which I'm excited about! We'll do that this weekend. He had to get his 4 month shots, but luckily they had a combined one so he only had to get three instead of five! He cried when they stuck him, but calmed down pretty well afterwards and didn't have any trouble the rest of the day.

Run for Justin

I ran in my first race since having Isaiah today! I participated in the Run for Justin. I did it two years ago while training for the San Fransisco Marathon and thought it was really neat. It's in honor of Justin Nealon who was an avid runner and an athlete for Team in Training, also. He was in a pedestrian accident in 2002 and now his family continues his passion and mission of running and helping out the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I was nervous about running it this year because I hadn't even run two miles yet!! But I made it all 3.2 miles in 34 minutes. Not very fast, but I ran the whole way! Andy and Isaiah came with and watched me cross the finish line. It was a beautiful day for a run...minus the rain in the beginning! We had a fun morning in Omaha and even ate brunch with Cat and Jack Teetor and Adam Brehm. I'm so glad to be back running again!

Eventful Weekend

We had an eventful first weekend of July! Friday night we went to Brad and Jennifers' house for the Fourth of July. Isaiah did great! He hung out with everyone until it was bedtime and then we put him to sleep in the basement in his pack-n-play. He went right to sleep and only woke up once. When it was time to go home, we loaded him up in his carseat. Even though the neighbors were shooting of very LOUD fireworks, Isaiah didn't wake up! He didn't even wake up when we got home and put him to bed!

Then on Saturday night we went out to James Arthur Vineyards for Bob's 60th birthday. It was a surprise for Bob and many of his friends came. There were twelve of us at JAV and then Nolan and Brady joined us for dinner at Vincenzo's. Isaiah did great again, but was very tired when we got home after nine!

Sunday we went to church and I sang on the praise and worship team for the first time since having Isaiah. It was a lot of fun because Josh picked songs that had need harmony parts! After church we changed and met Marv and Paula and their family out at Pawnee Lake. It was Isaiah's first time to the lake and he seemed to enjoy it! We borrowed Jack's lifejacket and he even took his first boat ride! At first he didn't like it, but once we got some speed up, he was more excited!

Sicky, Sick

We took Isaiah back to Sutton this weekend for Dugout days. It was fun! We got together with his girlfriend, Kaci. They both saw their first parade and weren't scared by the loud horns! But....Isaiah threw up while at Grandma and Grandpa's. We left after the parade so we could get Isaiah home and hopefully feeling better. On Sunday he slept a lot of the day and still wasn't feeling well. Also on Sunday, Andy got sick. He had a fever and was very achy. He decided he was going to stay home on Monday to help recover. I, however, was the last one to get sick....and got it the worst! I was vomiting about every hour for twenty-four hours. Luckily, I have a wonderful mother and she came to take care of Isaiah while Andy and I were being sick and recovering. Today we took Isaiah to daycare so I could recover. I've missed him yesterday and today, but I need to time to get better. Hopefully we will all be well soon!
