We went to Hickory two weekends ago and stayed several days to meet Hallie for the first time and visit the Starnes clan. This was Isaiah's first trip to Hickory and first time to meet several family members and friends of the fam. He was under the weather for some of the visit and teething a good bit, but overall, he did really well. Chris' old room has now become the grandbaby nursery complete with crib and changing table, which made things much easier on us. Isaiah also enjoyed several toys Grandmom had ready for him--his favorite was the classic Fisher-Price ring-stacker. He was so content just playing on the den floor with those colorful rings. He teased us a lot with his movements from sitting to near-crawling so many times, but he didn't crawl more than one 'step'. He did try pulling up a few times with success once or twice. Needless to say, he had lots of cheerleaders.
We really enjoyed all of the quality time with everyone, and Isaiah had it made with so much attention. I think Frankie enjoyed all of the extra laps and hands for petting too! Hallie is a sweetie and we look forward to many more visits. Here are several pictures from last week (some borrowed from Melissa's blog):

It's SOOO hard to believe that nine short months ago Isaiah was smaller than Hallie is now!!
