Annaliese Hope Marroquin is coming home today!!! I didn't get to see her much at the hospital, so I am looking forward to seeing her later! Still promising pictures soon!

Baby Girl Marroquin is here! She was born August 29, 2007, and she is beautiful! Amber and Ed are debating what to name her for now, so that and some pix will be posted soon!

During a nap at Gammy and Papa's house yesterday...
...need I say more?

isaac likes to chew on everything, including my fingers. this is absolutely no big deal to me; i just end up getting slobber all over my arm. yesterday he chewed on my hand all day long (no worries, i wash and rinse well). tonight i was on the phone with my mom, and he is chewing away on my finger when, all of a sudden, ouch!!!! sometime today isaac's first tooth broke through. i can't really see it (partially because he won't let me), but i sure can feel it! he is growing up too fast:(((( but i am really excited to see that toothy grin!!!!

six months stats

isaac weighs 17 pounds, 2 ounces, and he is 26.25 inches long...a growing boy. dr says he is right on track, and he is betting that isaac may be his earliest walker yet. we will wait and see about that!

SIX MONTHS OLD

I WILL HAVE TO PUT ISAAC'S WEIGHT AND SUCH IN TOMORROW AFTER HIS DOCTOR'S VISIT. TIME PASSES SO QUICKLY! I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BIG HE HAS GOTTEN, AND HE AMAZES ME DAILY BY WHAT HE LEARNS TO DO. RECENTLY, HE HAS LEARNED THAT WHEN HE CRIES I WILL COME TO HIM...SO HE DOES THIS EVEN WHEN HE DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING...JUST TO KEEP ME CLOSE! WHAT A SWEETIE!

DISCLAIMER: IN MANY PICS, ISAAC'S HAIR LOOKS CRAZY...MOST OF THE TIME, THIS IS DUE TO SHADOWING, AND HIS HAIR IS NOT SO BIG AND OUT THERE. HE DOES HAVE A LOT OF HAIR, BUT SOME PICS JUST LOOK WILD!
SLOBBER=PERMANENT ACCESSORY


HE SUCKS ON HIS LIPS...TOP, BOTTOM, IT DOESN'T MATTER!

Amazing Feats!

I am constantly amazed at what Isaac learns to do, and I hate that I am not usually in the room! I think he experiments in his crib. For example, several weeks ago I put him down on his tummy for a nap, and when I went to check on him he was on his back. Since then I HAVE had the opportunity to see him roll over (several times)! Last week, I put him down for a nap and went to take a shower. When I got out of the shower he was still crying, so I went to check on him. He was sitting up. He did it again tonight when I put him to bed, so I know it wasn't just a fluke...but I haven't actually SEEN him do it yet! It has taught me that I shouldn't freak out about being there for every single first because, apparently, he likes to perform them during naptime anyway:)

Isaac at the zoo

This trip to the zoo was the day before Isaac's 5 month birthday so they are a little out of order with my other posts. We went to the zoo with Daddy; Aunt Amber, Uncle Ed and Aubrianna; Uncle Jamie, Aunt Crystal, Christian, Carson, and Chloe; and Papa and Gammy. It was a beautiful day and lots of fun!

Isaac didn't notice many of the animals...but he LOVED the fish!He got bored so we had to pull out the toys!
A tired baby after a long day (and a tired Mama too)!
So handsome!

Some very cute pix

Everyone always says that Isaac is a happy baby, and for the most part he is!
And handsome too!
Except when he takes his first bite of green beans...not a great experience for his tastebuds!
Now THIS is my doll baby!

...in Daddy's wave cap
...eating the sheet (or anything in front of him for that matter)
...with his friend Mikah
...eating his toes (like I said, anything)
...with his Gigi

5 MONTHS OLD
At 5 months, Isaac weighed in at 16 pounds and 6 ounces! He is getting so big! Here are some pictures from his 5 month birthday!

Miss Aubrianna
He's never been a thumb-sucker, but the day before this he started kind of chewing on his thumb...I think he's doing it more for teething purposes than anything.
