Such a big boy.

Isaac looks like such a big boy when he is drinking out of his new cup.  He has known how to drink out of a straw for a while but we just got a cup with a straw that he can drink out of.  He likes to hold it himself, that is until he throws it on the floor.

Isaac is always getting into something.

Isaac loves to  make messes.  We have a big media shelf which is not baby proof at all.  Isaac tries to get back there all the time and the day of the pictures I let him.  He had so much fun pulling all of the things off of the lower shelves and then just sitting there in the middle of them playing.  Now we have a chair and a footstool in front of the shelf and he manages to crawl undrer the footstool or through the side of the chair to get there.  He is a very determined little guy. :-P

It seems that Isaac keeps giving me opportunities to add pictures to this post.  The first three picture are all from the same day and he had managed to knock down the CDs and DVDs again, but I didn’t take pictures of him this time because it isn’t really too cute anymore. :roll:

Our Little Frog

Here are some Halloween pictures of Isaac.  The first few are from our Sunday School class Halloween party.  Abigail was a cheerleader, little Haley was a puppy and Avery was a strawberry.   The picture of Isaac from the party is after he fell and busted his lip.  It was pretty pitiful with the blood on his costume.

The rest of the pictures are from the Fall Festival at church.  Isaac had fun crawling around but couldn’t pick anything up becuase of the gloves on the costume.  It was pretty funny watching him try to grab things and not know why it wasn’t working.  Later he was sitting next to Evie (the pumpkin) and was perfectly fine until he decided that girls were scary and would cry every time he saw her after that.  It was pretty funny because he has seen her many times before and never had a problem.  Jeff claims it is because the costume was orange.

9 months old

Isaac was 9 months old on Thursday.  He is 18 lbs 7 oz and 29 1/4 in tall.  He is such a big boy now and I can’t believe he is the same baby that we brought home from the hospital 9 months ago.  I can’t wait to see what the next 3 months will bring until he is a year old in January.

Our garage sale purchase.

We went garage sale-ing this weekend for the first time.  We were really looking for a jogging stroller (which we didn’t find) and ended up getting this bike trailer.  We cleaned it up and took Isaac out for the first time.  He loved it!  He had the biggest smile on his face the whole time.  Plus we get to use our bikes again.  Not to shabby for $20.

Proud little boy.

I was making my lunch in the kitchen on Thursday while Isaac was playing in the living room.  I could hear him talking so I knew he was okay.  When I came out of the kitchen this is what I saw.  Isaac has been trying to climb up on the hearth since he learned to pull up and now he has accomplished it.  He looked so proud of himself.   He was so cute that I had to take a picture and then tell him not to do it again.  I’m not sure how effective it is when I am taking pictures of him and telling him to smile.  Hmm…

A day at the Dallas Arboretum.

We went to the Dallas Arboretum on Wednesday with our Sunday School play group.  It was a fun time and we enjoyed taking some pictures of Isaac and some of his friends.  I had a very hard time trying to get Isaac to look at the camera in the first bunch of pictures.  He was really enjoying picking up all of the things on the ground and putting them in his mouth, as was his friend, Avery.  He just wanted to take the blanket from little Abigail.  Isaac also got to meet little Haley but she pretty much slept though the outing.  I was able to get some cute pictures of his after his little nap in the stroller.

Overall it was a nice time and we got to feel the first real cold front come in while we were walking around there.

Visiting with Cousin Tyler

Isaac got to meet his second cousin (I think that is what he is called), Tyler, last weekend.  Tyler was in town to play a show with CircleSlide.  Isaac had a bit of a grumpy time but did a good time of hiding it so we were able to get a nice picture.  Thanks for coming to Texas, Tyler!

Fun new skills.

Isaac has learned a few new skills last week.  He learned how to feed himself finger foods and drink from a straw.  We have been trying to get him to drink from a straw for a while because he decided that he did not like the sippy cups any more.  I have to say that Isaac feeding himself is exciting but it makes meal times a lot more dificult because he doesn’t really want his baby food any more but he isn’t really that good at chewing with only two teeth.

Fun with the dog’s water bowl.

We have been keeping Jasmine’s (the dog) water bowl up on our window box in the kitchen so that Isaac wouldn’t play in the water.  Well, Isaac has leanrned how to reach it now and pull it over on himself.  He has done it twice now and it is funny because he looks shocked when he is covered with water after he does it.
