Happy Half-Birthday Isaac!

It's Isaac’s half birthday! Can you believe he’s already 6 months old?! Wow.

From the first moment we saw him on that ultrasound screen, this little guy stole our hearts. Ever since, he has filled our lives with so much joy. We are so thankful to the Lord for blessing us with Isaac, and we look forward in anticipation to watching him grow!

The half-birthday boy….


Isaac is always surprising us with new skills. Two new things just in the last week…

~ He is officially baby-talking! It seemed like he just woke up one day and knew how to babble. He will ramble on in lengthy “conversations” about ba-ba-ba-ba’s and ma-ma-ma-ma’s. I’m always sure to respond to him as if he called me over when he says “mum.” I guess I won the fun competition with Kevin because Isaac hasn’t come close to saying Da-da! :)

~ And just yesterday, Isaac started to scoot! Well, pivot actually. He kicks his legs as well as he can in an attempt to lunge forward, and yesterday he figured out how to straighten his legs and stick his butt straight up in the air. It’s just a matter of time before he gets coordinated enough to use this new skill and his mini pushup together, and he’ll be on the go!


Isaac’s Top Ten:

10: Playing with my new little friends Gunner (1) and Addison (21 mo.) at Miss Mindy’s house

9: Looking in the mirror.

8: Banging things together to get the loudest noise.

7: Splashing in the bath!

6: Tickles and smiles.

5: Chewing on anything and everything I can get my hands on.

4: Sucking on my toes, and kicking my legs as hard and as fast as I can.

3: Practicing new sounds, like ba-ba-ba-ba, ma-ma-ma-ma, and sometimes wa-wa-wa-wa. And razzing with my tongue. When that gets boring, I resort back to my always fun high-pitched scream.

A Close 2nd: Cuddling in bed with Mommy & Daddy in the morning… with my warm bottle breakfast in bed!

And #1! Getting hugs and kisses from Mommy & Daddy…. And giving them back!
