3 months and growing strong!

Isaiah is 3 months old! It's so amazing to think that so much time has gone by! And Isaiah is growing at an amazing rate! He was so skinny when he was born, all skin and bones, and now he is chubby!! Its awesome! On top of that he is growing a ton developmentally. Here are some milestones that he has reached so far!

- he has a social smile, and uses it all the time!

- he can track objects and people really well

- he can rollover from his back to his stomach with a quickness!

- he can hold his head at a 90 degree angle for about 1-2 minutes at a time

- he is able to reach and grasp for objects (although his accuracy is a little off)

- he's sleeping through the nights (for about 8 hours at a time! - SWEET!)

- he has discovered his hands and mouth, and is chewing on his fist 24/7

Here is a video of his rolling over feat! So exciting!

Beach!

The happy sun-kissed family!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the beach! Unfortunately with Tyler's schedule, we don't get to go to the beach that often, together that is. But this year, we got the chance to take Isaiah, together down the shore to my friend Sarah's beach house in Wildwood, NJ. Isaiah did really well. He even liked the water, kind of...The day was VERY relaxing. Isaiah was zapped by the heat, so he slept for a good while, but we went in the water a few times too. All in all it was an AWESOME day for our little family. Much thanks to the Hoeflers for being so hospitable.

Napping with Mommy

Fourth of July!

Tyler had to work for 4th of July, but we didn't let that stop us from having a good time. On the 3rd we went with my family to Penn's Landing to see the Philadelphia Orchestra play a free outdoor concert followed by fireworks. It was fun (minus navigating through hellacious crowds). Isaiah did really really well! Although he was initially overwhelmed by the crowds, heat and hype, he calmed down. When it came time for the fireworks, he really enjoyed them! He was totally enthralled by the bright lights and accompanying music. All in all it was a WONDERFUL evening!

It's not a birthmark!

An addendum...you will notice that Isaiah has a red spot on his chest. It is not a birthmark, it is a hemangioma. A Hemangioma is a build-up of blood cells. It can appear anywhere on the body, Isaiah happens to have it on his chest. It can grow for up to the first year of life, and then it disappears. It sometimes can take up to 10 years to disappear. So anyway, that's what it is!
