4 month check-up

We took Isaac in on the 24th for his 4 month check-up. We knew that he was getting bigger and suspected that he was over 16lbs, but we were still shocked to hear his actual weight of 17lbs 4oz. He is also extremely tall at 26 and 3/4 inches. This puts him in mostly 6-9 month old clothes. As he grows bigger he is also getting stronger. Last week he started rolling over from his belly to his back. He doesn't do it all the time, but I know this is the beginning of a new stage. Soon I won't be able to leave him on the floor and have him stay there. Although it is sad to say good-bye to the small baby, it brings us great joy to watch as he learns how to do new things.
I know that all of our updates revolve around Isaac, but what he does is often the highlight of our days. Craig is still working for 2 different tree service companies in the Snohomish and Arlington area. One of his bosses recently discovered Craig's skill in carpentry. This has been a blessing for his boss as he also is a contractor and needs another carpenter from time to time. So Craig is getting a little bit of variety in the work he does which is also nice. As far as things go for me, Isaac is my life. I have also been blessed to have my best friend from college move back into this area. So I have been enjoying getting to spend time with her and her family. Thank you all for taking interest in our family. We feel blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.
