Superman

Not much has been going on in the Davis household lately. We're all on the tail-end of colds, so we've pretty much been keeping to ourselves. The weather has turned warm again this week, which I think is helping get rid of all the germs. I refuse to turn on the air yet, although it did get up to 80 inside the house today...I just wait until the sun goes down and open all the windows and turn on the fans and the house cools off a little. We did get A.J. a new pair of Superman pajamas. He loves them! He stands on the coffee table, yells "Superman", and then jumps onto the couch...someday, I know he's going to break a bone. Isaac has been fussy lately...we think he's teething, but nothing has popped through yet. He chomps and chews on everything he can get his hands on (which is a lot lately, since he can roll both ways now)!

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Superman!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

We had a great Valentine's Day this year! Andy always takes me out for dinner, but this year, I asked if we could go out for breakfast instead. There's this little place by one of the Cat dealers called Crackers...they have the best French toast!!! Everytime anyone visits us, we take them there, and everyone has agreed it is the best! They use a cinnamon bread to make the French toast, and the cinnamon in it gets gooey when fried...it was extra gooey this time (yum!)!!! Then, we decided to go for a drive on the Apache Trail. It is a scenic drive through the Superstition Mountains. We stopped at a little ghosttown (more a tourist-y thing) and got to see lots of animals that were native to this area (chuckwallas, gila monsters, lots of snakes, spiders, scorpions, tarantulas, etc., etc.). Then we continued our drive...the views were gorgeous!! We even pulled off the side of the road for a picnic in the back of the van! Then we stopped at a little town for ice cream, although the town consisted of the ice cream shop and a restaurant--that was it (prickly pear ice cream from the prickly pear cactus...delicious)! It was a great time!

The French toast breakfast at Crackers...forgot to take the picture until after I split with A.J.

It was sooo good (almost looks like a smiley face on the plate)!!! :-)

The little ghost town we stopped to see (although we kept calling it an "Old West" town, as A.J. has been having this thing with ghosts lately---I don't know)

A.J. and I got thrown in jail (hard to believe, I know--we're both such angels)!!!

One of the little critters we saw...I'm glad I have never seen a scorpion at the house, like some others we know!!!

Don't look down! The road didn't have guardrails...it was a long way down!

If you look really hard, you can see snow on the far, far mountain!

Look hard again...more snow!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

This week has been busy with some of Isaac's firsts. On Tuesday, after sucking down another 8oz bottle in no time flat, we decided to let him try cereal for the first time. He wasn't really quite sure what to do with the spoon, so everytime he opened his mouth, I would just shove the cereal in. He just kind of played around with the food in his mouth before spitting it back out. I don't really think he even ate anything, but at least he didn't cry (like A.J.) By Thursday, he had learned quite well how to eat :) Today, he rolled over for the first time. He has been rolling on his side for a while now, but he waited for Daddy to get home from his trip to actually roll over...how thoughtful!

This was kind of funny...I was on the phone this morning, and A.J. got out his medical kit, unbuttoned Isaac's outfit, and started playing "Doctor"

Sunday Skating

Today, we went and had Isaac's 3 month pictures taken...I can't believe he is three months already! I bought him a 9-month outfit to wear for the pictures...that will be the first and last time he wears that one! Man, that boy is growing!!! Then we took A.J. rollerskating for the first time. Let's just say it was an interesting venture! A.J. kept wanting to pick up his feet and walk regular instead of rolling. Our first lap was mainly me carrying him or picking him up off of the floor. He did get better as the day went on...I think he ended up getting a whole whopping 3 laps in!!!

This was not an unusual position for the day

A.J. thought the best part was the ICEE...Isaac wasn't too fond of it!

Friday Night Fun

Friday night we went out to dinner (because our rule has always been I cook Sunday thru Thursday, and Andy cooks Friday and Saturday...thus we always eat out on Fridays and Saturdays). We went to one of our favorites, Sweet Tomatoes, and then we went to one of Andy's favorites, the PGA Store. A.J. had a blast trying out the putting green and pretending to drive the golf carts.

Posing with the hand on the hip and everything!

Hole in one (or two or three)!!!

Even Isaac was having a good time...

...until he had to have his picture taken with his brother...what a sad face!!!

Growin' Like a Weed!!!

I can't believe how fast Isaac is growing! It seems like he is growing at an astronomical rate! At Christmas just over a month ago, he was still wearing 0-3 month clothes, was in size 1 diapers, and was eating about 5 oz. Now, he is outgrowing some of his 6-9 month clothes, I had to take all of his size 2 diapers back and exchange them for size 3, and he is sucking down 8 oz bottles left and right!!! He's starting to cry after eating a whole 8 oz bottle because he's still hungry, so I imagine we'll probably start cereal this weekend...and he's not quite 3 months yet!!! Crazy!!!
