Monday: Ben

Tonight we celebrated Ben's birthday.

We went to Wild Chef for dinner.  Isaac seemed concerned about the flames, but didn't have any problems.

Sunday: yesterday

Yesterday we put up the Christmas tree and I haven't taken a picture of it yet.  Isaac was rather uninterested in it.  While it was kind of disappointing it will probably be a blessing as he won't try to yank it down.  Also, the little amount of snow that we had all melted today. :(

Saturday: more pictures

Ben's aunt took some great pictures for us on Thanksgiving...

Friday: weeks 45-47

Isaac is still growing!  It's harder to get pictures of him some weeks...he moves too much.

week 45:

week 46:

week 47 (pajama day!  It meant he couldn't take off his socks, although he still tried a few times.)

Thursday: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  It has been a week of reflection for me...and feel amazingly blessed by God.

Today we had dinner with Ben's family.  As always, Isaac was amazing.  He completely missed a nap but stayed very happy.  He seems to enjoy being around people.  (Although he was thrown off a little bit at night due to a late nap.)

Isaac thoroughly enjoyed Thanksgiving food, especially the fruit.  I went back for seconds three times!  Where does he put it all?  He also had a little bit of turkey, some mashed potatoes, and a roll.  He tried sharing his roll with his cousin, but since he had already put the piece in his mouth we discouraged it.  We'll have to work on what is appropriate to share.

With Great-grandma

Trying out his basketball moves.  Ben did a quick let go a few times and Isaac hung on to the hoop by himself. :)

Tuesday and Wednesday: quilts and stairs

I made a quilt for Grandma and we delivered it yesterday.  :)  I'm hoping it'll help cheer up her room for a little bit.

Today Isaac crawled all the way up the stairs (twice)!  I guess something just clicked because last week stairs didn't work for him at all.  Today he just scooted on up...he was chasing a can of black bean soup that I kept moving one stair higher.  

Monday: Ben and Isaac

First we have a video of Ben and Isaac doing random things.


Then today Isaac was watching Ben practice drums for quite a while.  (Also, do you know how hard it is to get a non-blurry picture of a baby and a drummer???)
