11 months


Isaac, you can throw a ball now. You can lift the flaps in "lift-the-flap" books. You like being tackled and chased. You're a pro at climbing stairs. You reach for Daddy too now (thank you). You know how to get into things now. You know how to get what you want. You are so stubborn. That may be a good quality in life b/c you won't give up; you'll be persistent.

You're pretty wiggly on my lap. If I'm holding you, you want me to nurse you or you want to walk around. You still dance when you hear muic. Going outside cheers you up if you don't know what you want. You like discovering new things and you really like playing with toys. When Noah's here, you two just play together in the play room for a long time. You're not interested in anything on TV. You're happy. You still love to nurse. You were doing well with sleeping through the night, but then we took you to Utah and you got way off schedule. You liked playing in snow and really liked eating it even when your hands got cold.

Your first word-like thing is pretending to sneeze. We pretend to sneeze and it sometimes cracks you up. Now YOU do it and it cracks US up. You tilt your head back, make a big wide mouth so we almost can't tell you're smiling too, and say "ah ah ah" then as you throw your head forward and down, you really make the "choo" sound! It's the cutest. Sometimes you walk around singing to yourself "AH do, ah do, AH do." Love it!

Nora loves to have us pretend to sneeze too! I think that is hilarious! I love that you got all those pictures on the same blanket (well, most of them). Very cute!

I sent Matt's company link to my SIL, she is going to talk to her husband about having their pics scanned :)

Cute! I too love that you planned ahead so that you have almost his whole first year of monthly pics on the same blanket. Smart! And since it's a blanket with different colored squares, we can tell how much bitter he gets with each new month. I can't wait to see him and Dylan! Five days and counting. :)
