isaac


isaac will be 8 months old next week. my little babe is growing too fast for my liking. he is as cute as ever and still likes to cuddle... which could not make me happier. he is always smiling, and people like to comment on how happy he is. isaac is seriously such a joy. he has such a happy, sweet disposition that makes me want to squeeze him... in a non violent way of course : )





-isaac is just deciding to sit up by himself. still not 100% but to the point where i can set him up with a pillow behind him and leave and feel okay about him being there without me.
-isaac looooves the bath. he kicks around like crazy with the biggest smile on his face. speaking of excited kicking...
-isaac still gets super psyched when he sees someone, usually that means me, walking over to pick him up. and it makes me feel like a champ every time.... even though i know he'd do that to anyone.
-isaac is so good at cuddling that if he happens to fall asleep while im holding him i always take advantage and enjoy it for as long as i can.
-he is also quite good at pulling hair. unfortunately it hurts eli and i a lot, but tanner hardly notices.
-isaac also still likes to put everything he can possibly get ahold of into his mouth.
-isaac likes being entertained by his big brother. 80% of the time isaac is awake in the car he is looking at eli.
-he is still on a good eat, play, sleep schedule... but now takes 2 or 3 naps a day depending on what we are doing. he is a very fast eater and doesn't like wasting time when it come to getting his food. we do nursing, nursing again, baby food, nurse, formula, and nurse again.
-he likes participating in our story times before eli's naps and at night. even if he's fussy, if i start reading 'panda bear, panda bear' he always calms down and is happy by the end of the book.

isaac is looking up at eli in this picture. i love this one cause this is the same face i see in the car.

sleepy boy.
he didn't have his late nap so he fell asleep right after i fed him. i love his fresh out of the bath clean, warm, rosy cheeks.
where isaac likes to spend his time
i like when he smiles like this and his face turns into a square.
love you ikick.

Oh my...he needs me to give him a giant squeeze. I just want to kiss those cute cheeks. He is such a doll and getting so big! The picture of him looking up at Eli is soooooooo cute. I love his expression. And I hear you on the pulling hair and everything in mouths...cam is a pro in those departments as well. He is seriously amazing in every way! I love that little boy!
