Show me: happy!

Show me: surprised!

Okay, now super-duper happy
(note the nose-wrinkle, really completes the look)

Grammie's visit - February 16-20

We didn't get many pictures with Grammie - she was behind the camera most of the time!

"Are you talking to me?" Just one of many new little attitude looks of his!


Cuddling up with a blanket from Great-MamMaw Parish (maternal great-grandmother).


This is Kindermusik - Isaac and his baby buddies bounce and sing and wiggle around in time (sort of) to the music. The theme for this session is "Cockadoodle-Moo" (animal songs). He loved this little piggy. Ms. Meredith was very patient with him - I think he wanted to keep it!


Totally exhausted after Kindermusik (he was asleep before we left the parking lot!)

Bathtime fun

He got this new inflatable ducky that he can sit in during his bathtime - it quacks, and he really loves it!

We just couldn't resist the bath-time faux-hawk (his hair is getting really long)

Faux-hawk, from the side

Chew with your mouth closed!

He has started smacking his mouth while he's eating - not real sure why...

Worn out

It was just too hard to choose between eating and sleeping, so he fell asleep while he was eating!

Sir Squirms-a-lot

This makes me laugh every time I watch it - so I thought I'd share.

His "See How Cute I Am" looks

He uses this look a lot.

This one is also very effective.

With friends

At his friend Danielle's 1-year birthday party with his baby buddies.

A boy and his dog

Cuddle up!

They already look alike: everybody look left...

...now everybody look up...

...now everybody SMILE!!!

Two "Look What I Did" Moments...

Sitting up (sort of)

and holding his own bottle (sort of)

Our little blue-eyed boy

A few more pictures from Christmas...

Isaac may have a crush on his Aunt Stacie!

Hey, baby, what's your number?

Hanging out with Grandpa

"And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry - the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song." (a Veggie Tales video from Aunt Jess)


He loves his Daddy

Cousins - what a pair!

Tirzah and Isaac haven't seen each other since this summer, and they have both changed a lot! They don't seem to recognize each other right away...

...but there's nothing like opening presents together (and with Aunt Julia and Uncle Trevor) to make for a bonding experience!


They often cozied up to whichever aunt/uncle/mom/dad/grandpa/grandma was available for cuddling! (Dad/Uncle Garin is pictured here.)

Whatcha doin'?

Good buddies!

Baby's first Christmas, in Virginia

"All the Whos down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot."


Good morning, Grandpa!

On Christmas morning, first he opened his stocking...

...then, the PRESENTS!

Hmm, this looks tasty.

What a great-looking gift...

Peek-a-boo

Okay, enough opening presents...

...let's play with my new toys!


Christmas sure is exciting!

Baby's first Christmas, starting in Texas...

In his car, with Aunt Jess

Breakfast with the aunts

Visiting Uncle Tim at his house in Granbury

On Friday, Mom and Isaac went to Waco to visit friends Hutson Carruth Harper and his parents, Mike and Callie (friends from seminary). Hutson is 10 months old, and so cute - laughing and tumbling. It was a picture of what Isaac will be like in 5 months!

These are Grammie's dogs - Annabelle (brown) and Sydney (black). Isaac loved watching them run around the house.

Entranced by Grammie's Christmas tree

A Christmas picture with his best girls!

These snowmen danced and sang a song - he loved it!
