the big ONE
So it is official... our little baby is now 1 years old. Where did the time go?
At 1:43am February 23, 2009 our son came into the world
Sunday February 21st, we celebrated that amazing and joyous moment with lots of cake, family, and the park.
Of course, the entire time leading up to Isaac's 1st birthday party, we were stressing about the impending rain storm. But it held off just long enough for us to have our little shin-dig at the park.
I can't believe Isaac just got into that cake! Like he knew what sugary sweet tasty-ness was in front of him. He had never had sweets before, so we weren't sure how he would react, but he had no fear. :)
So many amazing people joined us at the party:
On his actual birthday, we celebrated by playing with some of our new toys and (mommy) blowing out a single candle on a cupcake (which he loved as well... without any of that obscenely food-colored frosting).
His current stats:
Height 30 inches (2.5 ft) - 58th percentile
Weight 24.2 lbs - 75th percentile
The actual check up with the pediatrician went smoothly, it was the aftermath of the vaccines and blood draw that left us both in tears. A walk to the park with Kaya and playing on the swings and slides did just the trick to make up for the trauma.
He is babbling all combinations with no real formation of words except for mamama, dadada, dugaduga, cudacudacuda, and every now and then I swear he says Kaya. Isaac loves to "high 5" and is in the early stages of waving "hi" and "bye." Currently, it looks like he is putting his arm in the air with his hand open. Occasionally we will get the hand opening and closing as well. So cute when he does it!
He (awesomely) is on table food and drinking whole milk. Now comes the hard part of weaning that bottle...
Isaac has mastered cruising on all things i.e. furniture, toys, tv's, Kaya, Mommy & Daddy, etc. We also love to walk around the house with a little help. We have at times used our push toys, but we usually like a couple index fingers, the dining room chair, or his big dump truck. Just in the last few days he has been walking with only 1 hand holding, standing and balancing on his own more and longer each day.
On Tuesday March 1st, Isaac took his first few independent steps... now I see running in the very near distant future!
Here is to many, many more years baby boy!!
We love this little guy so much and see such a bright future ahead of him.

the park.
Fact: Kids love the park. And our child is no different.
The swing, the slide, walking in the dirt/sand. All of it is so fun to watch.
His giggles from that slide were incredible. I must have gone down that slide with him 20 times.

1st shoes
As we start on the road to being a walker, it was time to get some shoes. So for Isaac's birthday Great-Grandma Ruth made it her mission to get him his first pair of shoes and therefore of course (if you know my Grandma) it happened within the week.
At first he was not so sure about those new things on his feet, but quickly he got the hang of it and actually was able to stand by himself for a few seconds longer with the extra support.
Our baby is quickly becoming a little boy...

11 months.
This time last year we all (the entire family and some friends) was scrambling to get our new home a much-much needed makeover while we anxiously awaited our new baby boy. Now, our son has hit the 11 month milestone and the time has flown.
We are babbling all sorts of stuff, eating amazingly with his fingers (love weaning off the baby food!), walking with assistance from 2 to 1 hands, and recently been able to stand on his own for ~5 seconds before sitting.
Our stats this month:Height: 29.75 inches
Weight: 24 lbs
This month consisted of our 1st Christmas and New Years and of course many many photos ;-)
