We are ready for our move. We can't wait to get into our little house. I really can't wait to get out of that in between stage when you are kind still living at both places, hopefully that makes sense. Moving is such a pain, and is even harder when you have a "helper" who wants to climb like a mountain goat on your packed boxes, or empty the boxes, or play in the cardboard boxes before you can fill them up. Thank heaven for naps! To help distract her though I had a fun new activity for Natali to do. Do you remember those paint books that all you had to do was brush water on the page and the little dots of color dissolved and it looked you were using water colors. I loved those when I was little and them seemed less messy and I wanted to buy some for Natali. I couldn't find them anywhere and I was telling my mom about it. Leave it to moms...she found two books in a dollar store. They are super cute and Natali thought they were the coolest thing ever. It bought me some good packing time. The best part is that they are in Spanish (just the little captions at the bottom)! Obviously Natali could care less, but it just makes me laugh. Thanks Mom!

Moving & Painting
Week 7
Isaac is 7 weeks old this Friday. He is getting so big. He is having more awake time and is starting to develop a little bit of a schedule (if you can call it that). Last night Ben laid him on the couch on his stomach after a feeding. He usually likes a little tummy time. Anyway...I was in the other room and Ben starts yelling for me to come...and there was Isaac...rolling from his stomach to his back. Now to set the record straight, Ben and I are certain the couch cushion must have been on a slant, but none the less we are claiming (just to each other) that Isaac is a genius and already rolling! Just kidding...I am not that incredibly anxious for him to become mobile for a long time!
Kisses
Natali just loves to give her brother kisses. We are promoting the kisses on top of his head, but I know that when I am not looking she kisses his face. But I can't blame her...look at those cheeks! Natali is still doing pretty good about being a big sister. She hasn't told us yet to take him back to the hospital (which my oldest brother announced to my mom a few weeks after bringing baby #2 home).
I love the look on Isaac's face..."Mom make her stop!"
Going in for the kill
Mission completed! What a sweet big sister!
