I can hardly believe that our precious boy is five months old already. God has exceeded my prayers for this child and I am amazed every day by how good He is.
Isaac is consistently sleeping through the night and I attribute that to many prayers- even ones sent up before he was born! I tell people that I prayed for my baby to be healthy, a snuggler (cuz his dad is definitely not one naturally) and a sleeper (cuz I am a woman who needs sleep to function like a human). God gave me these blessings and so many more. Isaac is an easy going child, has a happy disposition, is content in others' arms and is SO smiley! What is it about a smiley baby that makes your heart smile and lifts your spirits?
We had a fun month of traveling and meeting "new to him" friends. Here are a few of our pictures from our travels to DC:

Isaac went to church for the first time this month. We are attending Calvary again after taking some time away to attend a church in Greensboro that we both liked. However, we decided to go back to Calvary since we know so many people there and are familiar with the childcare workers and program that Calvary offers. That means there are some happy grandparents, relatives and friends who are thrilled to see Isaac when he's there. Here are some pictures from his first visit:

Isaac discovered his toes this month, started smacking and scraping at things with his hands, follows objects (and pets) better with his eyes, and is starting to discover his voice and what he can do with it (squeals, anyone?). He loves his crib mobile and music. Here are some general pictures of our (generally) sweet boy:
