This little booger gets the spring birthdays started at our house. He was born on March 23rd, 2013 and turned one this year! He has had a great first year, and he has had to learn a whole lot of flexibility. Right after he was born we moved into a house that was dubbed by Sammy as, "yucky". Which, in all honesty, it was. It has come a long way for sure. Isaac spent a lot of his first year attached to my hip because the floors were just too dirty to put him down. He also learned to be way more content then his brothers were in his bed and bouncy toy. He has had the hardest time, (although Marcus pulls a close second) with his teeth. Up until 5 months Isaac was a really easy baby. He slept a lot, and was happy and content for much of the time. Around 5 months he started teething, (didn't pop the first one until either 8 or 10 months - I can't remember exactly) and then everything changed. But, despite the grumps that can come on him when a new tooth is on the move, we still adore him. When he's happy, he is so happy!
At 12 months, he has 6 teeth, is nearly walking, (my other two were 15 months when they walked, so this is early for me), says, "uh oh, mama, dada, nana (banana), and some other babble. He loves to make his brothers squeal. Right now our dining room table is not accessible due to construction, so Isaac LOVES to crawl to his brother's little table (which he is thrilled to be able to reach) and try and make a mess of their food while they are trying to eat. He will repeat this process until, you guessed it, he winds up on my hip. Now that he's getting heavier than my bicep and back wish to deal with, he also ends up in his high chair while his brothers finish. Sammy and Isaac are really pals and they play well together. Marcus tends to see Isaac as an annoyance that needs to be removed - ah, siblings!
Isaac has truly been a blessing to our growing family. I can't wait to see him toddling around outside this summer. He points to outside whenever I have him next to a window and says, "uh....uh!" He LOVES the time we've spent outside this spring so far.
One other cute thing about Isaac. He loves music. When he hears a song, (even if it's a random short song from one of his toys) he starts bouncing. His favorite song is a rewrite I did of "Black Betty." I call it, "Fat Baby." Fat baby has a butt, bam balam, fat baby has thighs, bam balam, fat baby as cheeks, bam balam, fat baby has a belly, bam balam, oh fat baby, bam balam, oh fat baby, bam balam,oh fat baby, bam balam, oh fat baby bam balam. When we sing this to him, he starts dancing and giggling. It's really cute!!
We sure love our little man Isaac. We're blessed to have him in our home!
Happy belated birthday, little cutie! :-) Seems like Isaac and Owen have a lot in common... Owen seems to be starting the teething process and is not so happy about it, despite being a very chill baby overall. :-p But at least he's still sleeping fairly normally!
