alas, the time has finally come...

None of you have any desire to hear much, rather, you would rather just look at the fabulous pics of the cutest most amazing baby in the whole wide world!

Well, too bad.... Christmas was SO MUCH FUN! Isaac somehow mastered the "oooo" when he opened gifts, looking excited and happy over everything (even the clothes mommy got him)... he waited patiently and excitedly while his toys were engineered out of the packaging and then boy did he play! He is in love with the holidays!

A couple of weeks before Christmas we had planned an over-night play date with Alice (and her mommy and daddy Anne and Mitch) that ended up being an entire weekend thanks to the blizzard! It was a lot of fun! Obviously they bathed together but they also enjoyed fighting over the rocking chair (thank goodness we have 2!)

His birthday, of course 2 days after Christmas, was also a blast! My favorite part, hands down was watching him eat his bear cake! to keep my mommy's tradition alive, I made and frosted that whole thing by myself (ok, I have a long way to go to be as good as my mom was but this was my first attempt!!)

Other things happening lately... walking! Isaac is pretty good at it but honestly doesn't see the urge and need when crawling is still so much faster! he is just a gumby baby that folds in half, loves to fall over, climb, fall, attempt running (I swear he will run any second now)! He loves Ripley still and has definitely learned that if he doesn't want to eat something, he has the dog to feed it to (way annoying for mommy and daddy!)

Oh, sadly, once again Isaac took after his mommy and has bad ears :( He got tubes in his ears on New Years Eve Day (I know many of you will find this as a surprise, but his ENT apt was only the day before- guess it pays to have 2 parent doctors in town!) Surgery went well, coming out of anesthesia, however, did not (once again, just like mommy!) Things were going great for a whole week and a half and bam, bilateral ear infection again!!! Now, wonderfully, the gunk just flows out and we get to torture the little guy with ear drops :(

Enjoy the pics!!!
