Peas Please

So, last week Isaac had his four month visit to the doctor. He weighed in at a respectable 15.1lbs! His doctor gave me the okay to start trying more exciting foods than oatmeal, so I started with peas!!! I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to what I feed this little guy, so I bought a food mill, which works fantastic!

Which to Choose, which to choose?

So, I've decided to enter Isaac in Regis & Kelly's 2010 Adorable Baby Contest!

But since he is simply one of the most beautiful, most photogenic baby boys on the planet, I have been having a bit of a hard time choosing a picture to send in!

As of right now, these are three pictures to choose from. Which I narrowed down from a mere few-thousand!

A touch of Dino Loooooove

My good friend Melanie's mom bought this cuddly dinosaur for Isaac for Christmas. At first I was a little bit worried that he wouldn't take to it, since he is just about the same size! I showed it to him the other night, but he wasn't too into it, but the next morning, while playing on his activity mat, he caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye. He just HAD to have him! I held him within his reach and vwa-laa, sat back and let the magic happen! It turns out, he's one of Isaac's new bff's. He's so soft and cuddly, not to mention, incredibly light, so Isaac has no problem at all letting him know who's boss around here! Ha.

The Newsboy FINALLY fits!

So, I had bought this uber-adorable newsboy hat for Isaac well before he had even made his grand entrance into this world. I couldn't resist, it was just too darn cute to pass up. Since I hadn't had a baby before, I had no idea about sizing on anything. And totally miscalculated this one. I was thinking that it would fit him in October, and be able to wear it to my brother's wedding. But alas, it was far too big then. But of course, of COURSE now that it's January, and won't be wearing anything but fuzzy, warm, woolen hats out of the house, it fits him now. . . . A R G !

My, isn't he dashing!

For Christmas this year, my mom knit Isaac a really fabulous sweater. And I was really glad that it fits him so perfectly right now, since we've been getting more than our share of snow around here. It's nice to know that he's quite cozy.

I still wish I had some sort of tangible talent like that, but alas I don't. Apparently wedding planning and organizing, aren't as adorable.

And oh yes, those are real wooden heart buttons on there folks!

Isaac vs. Oatmeal

Well folks, tonight was a big night here in the Trance home. I was pretty ampted up about it too. I would like to think that perhaps some of my over excitement rubbed off on the baby, perhaps. Okay, I'll just keep telling myself that it did.

Isaac has always been a very, VERY good eater, but lately I've been feeling that he just isn't being fully satisfied with what I can and have been giving him. So I did a little research, asked a few close friends who are also moms, and checked in with my pals at Gerber, and decided that it may be a fantastic time to try a little oatmeal. No need to worry yourselves, I got the organic kind.

So tonight, after a little bit of bottle was in his adorable belly, Michael and I helped him try his very first bowl of oatmeal. And of course, being the overly obsessive photographer mom that I am, I was sure to document this moment! I mean, of course I HAD to, this is a big deal! Someday when he's older and munching away at some greasy spoon, he'll thank me. Hmm, maybe not, but I'll be sure to remind him to! Ha.

Well, all in all I'd say he did pretty good for his first attempt at some real food. He got a good three or four spoonfulls in there!

I absoultely love the "ack, what the eff is this stuff" face!

Isaac's Big Accomplishment!

So, this morning as I was taking Isaac's picture, while he was enjoying his new activity mat, he ROLLED HIMSELF OVER!! I got so excited that I startled him! Poor little guy. I didn't capture the moment itself, because I was just too excited!

But no worries, I'm sure I will!
