Last Monday for FHE we took Isaac swimming for the first time ever! We went with Jon and Jenna to the Provo Recreational pool and I was very surprised at how well Isaac did. I guess it did help that the pool was like 86 degrees. Anyways, it was pretty fun, Isaac's face when he first got in was of complete shock but after a few seconds he became distracted by the other children in the pool. (typical) We would have taken some pictures of him in the pool but the life guards wouldn't let us. I was really disappointed about that because we had some adorable moments of Isaac and Katelyn in a yellow floating canoe. Picture this; Katelyn up front smiling as cute as can be and Isaac leaning up against the back with his arms up on the sides like he is a gangster or something. It was too cute. Let's just say I wasn't very happy about not being able to catch it on camera. So, the pictures we have are just random ones of us.
Also, this month we were able to feed Isaac his first solid food. The first one was a teething cracker which he totally attacked, and the other was his first taste of oatmeal. It was fun, even though Isaac was more interested in the camera then on his delicious meal. I actually think we as the parents had more fun then he did, we were just too excited for him to eat his first solid food!
Here are some more recent pictures of Isaac getting to be up in the front seat of the car! He didn't really like it, nor the shades I tried to put on him, which was weird because he's Austin's son, he should have loved it. lol I don't want to push it upon him to early, he'll be begging me in 16 years.
Here are some recent pictures of Isaac being able to grab things. Before we would put something in his face to grab and he'd look at it for 5 seconds before he wanted to move onto something else. Now though, he'll reach for anything. He first did this last Sunday during church when we were holding a hymn book up during a song. I handed the book to Austin and Isaac reached out with both hands to grab it. It was so cute! So here are some random ones of Isaac reaching out.
The next stage Isaac hit was being able to sit up by only using the boppy. I swear it just happened over night. It was incredible. Now we practice grabbing things and sitting up at the same time.
Oh here is something. I was going through all of Isaac's pictures one day and I was realizing that a lot of them are of him acting nonchalant. Here, I'll show you how many I have! 
It looks like he is out of it.
Lately Katelyn and Isaac have been able to hang out more so here are some of them playing together! Katelyn is trying to teach him so many things, like patty cakes, where his feet are, and how to give hugs! 
Here are some other random pictures that shows just how big Issac it getting.
This year was Austin and my 2nd Christmas together and Isaac's very 1st. 
The next day, which was Tuesday, the last BYU football game was on and Isaac got to participate by wearing his new BYU jersey that he got from Christmas.
He got front row seats during the game, lucky! He loved the big screen, we couldn't get him away from it. 
On Christmas Eve dad (Austin) finally met up with us and that night we had a delicious meal and a great nativity scene!
Isaac got to be baby Jesus in the show, he slept the whole time but I think he did I fine job acting how baby Jesus would have acted as a new born. Sleep, sleep, sleep. Then on Christmas day we opened presents and had a wonderful breakfast. One of the gifts that I made for my sister was an apron!
It took a long time but it was worth it. She looks so good in it, I hope she liked it. I want to thank my mom for letting me use her sewing machine! Thanks MOM!!!
This year Christmas took all day which I loved, I mean it only happens once a year so making it last as long as possible was a real treat. Afterwards we played games, watched movies, went to a cabin, went sledding, and definitely had all the hot chocolate we could get ahold of. 
We all had a wonderful time and can't wait to see those loved ones again. Now that we are back at home, the new school year has started and both Austin and I are taking classes. We appreciate all those that are helping to watch Isaac as we try to finish up school. Also, just this past week, Isaac was able to go visit his brand new cousin in the hospital. Derek Steven Heath was born on Tuesday and he is such a cutie. 
We are so excited to have a cousin so close to Isaac. We know they will be the best of friends! So, the rest of the pictures are just of our little family during Isaac's 5ths month!
On November 29th 2009, Austin Heath had the privilege of blessing his very first child. He prepared well for this sacred experience and was able to give a beautiful and memorable blessing. I know that what he said came from the Lord and that if Isaac is faithful he will be able to obtain those blessings. We would like to thank all of those worthy priesthood holders who were able to join in the circle and make it an even more faith abiding blessing. Isaac is so fortunate to have such loving and faithful family members. You are all true examples to him and I hope he will be just as worthy one day himself. 
Thanks Uncle Benjamin for letting Isaac use your baby blessing outfit!
