1st Birthday Party

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Isaiah, Happy birthday to you." We celebrated your first birthday yesterday. You and Brother's birthdays are so close together we decided to celebrate them together. The theme for your party was Paw Patrol and you had lots of family come to help you celebrate it. As you can see, you had no problem finishing off your cupcake! (This was the first time you had ever had anything sweet.)

11 Months

This month was a special time for Mommy and Daddy because we had the privilege of dedicating you to the Lord. It is a time for us to stand before our church, our friends and promise God to raise you in a way that will glorify Him. It is our prayer everyday that God will help us to do this.

In other news this month, you have decided that you no longer want to eat any baby food. You only want to eat regular foods. You have also learned the word "duck", which is your favorite animal. You are starting to point to things that you want which makes life easier for both you and Mommy. Big highlight of the month is that you are now giving SUGARS a.k.a. kisses. You don't know how to pucker your lips, so you just open your mouth and stick it to other people's faces. It is so sweet!

Mini Photo Shoot

We took a little mini Spring photo shoot in the front yard today. You are so adorable and look at those chubby cheeks!

Double Digits

You have made it to the double digits, 10 months old.Your first birthday is right around the corner, and we are gearing up for a very busy summer. We started this month with Easter. You had already gone to an Easter egg hunt at Granny's, but now Easter was really here. We started the day at church celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, and then Grandma invited us out to her house for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. You really had no idea was going on, but you loved just holding the eggs. Grandma had filled your eggs with baby snacks and coins. You worked REALLY hard at getting those eggs open. You did get a few open....Brother helped with the rest.

This month you also started using a sippy cup and eating bite size food. Cut up bananas was your first food. You loved them! You also liked the little Gerber cereal snacks and veggie sticks.

The other day you told Granny "bye" when we went the nursing home. This was the first time you actually said it in context. Granny was so proud that your first time was to her. She bragged about it a little. You are also starting to hold your play phone up to your ear and saying "hi". You are really growing up.

What a Busy Month!

Your ninth month on earth has been a busy one. It really feels like you are growing up fast this month. You started the month getting strong enough to stand on your own and ended the month having your first Easter egg hunt at Granny's. Every year we go to Granny's nursing home, and do an Easter egg hunt. It is one of Granny's highlights of the year and you boys love it.

Other highlights of the month:

 - You waved bye-bye for the first time (You waved to Papa when we left church one night)

 - Signed "Finished" February 18th to Mommy when you didn't want to eat anymore

 - You Understand the word “no”

 - Makes “clicking” noise with mouth (You do this ALL the time. You just go around "clicking")

 - 7 teeth (Wow, Bud!)

 - You can “throw" the ball to Mommy

 - You put EVERYTHING in his mouth

 - You are cruising around furniture

MAJOR Boo, Boo!

(You were crawling around at Papa and Nana's house and rubbed up against the bottom edge of a chair Nana had just redone and scratched all the way across your back on a nail.)

My favorite of this month is you have started to say Elijah. I love how you say it; "e-e-e". You are still jabbering and jabbering. You are also still drooling all over your clothes and have successfully gained 4 teeth now.

Just last month you learned how to crawl and now you are crawling all over the house. Also, you have started to pull up on furniture and toys. Sometimes you get pulled up and then can't figure out what to do. This makes you very upset, but makes great memories that have to get caught on camera. Love you, Buddy.

"Somebody help me!"

See that upper BIG tooth?
