woo hoo

the boys had a visitor the other day, gianna (gigi) and her mom julie came over to hang out. isaac has always been a big kid, but seems mythical when set next to smaller children.

isaac has had this funny thing lately where he is wanting to get back into all his old toys: his jumper, saucer, and this, his swing. as you can see, they don't quite fit him like they used to. isaac was pretty entertained.

although he is generally very sweet towards him, i think sometimes isaac gets a little jealous of ryder. after booting him from the swing, isaac proceeded to push him off his lap very deliberately when we tried to arrange the above picture. he can also get pretty particular about people's time. if somebody who isaac wants to play with is holding ryder, you best watch yourself.

we are pretty sure that ryder is starting to smile on purpose. annie snapped this one tonight.

many people warned us before ryder was born that the first few months would be a blur. ne'er a truer word were spoken. ryder is already 5+ weeks, and growing all the time. (we often wonder how large he would be if he didn't puke so much, but it is pure speculation.) his legs and neck are getting way stronger, pushing and lifting respectively. we are trying to take it all in, but it sometimes seems like trying to grasp the wind.
