Friday: this and that

Yay it's Friday!

I took some pictures of Isaac on his slide, but then Ben is building my new computer tonight and so I didn't get them off the camera. Things seem to be going mostly fine though, so that is exciting. I think he's done by now, but it was bed time for me.

Isaac had his one year well child visit. He's 18 lb 12 oz (12%) and 29" long (18%). So still small, but staying steady. Language skills are a little behind, but he still communicates with us and understands what we're saying (when it suits him) so the doctor wasn't worried. Actually, I haven't been worried either. Everything else looked good. Except that he got four shots.:(

The little snow that we had mostly melted today.

The Christmas decorations are almost all down. I get a little sad when taking down the lights. They're my favorite part.

Seriously, how go kitchens go from clean to complete disasters so quickly?!? It drives me nuts.

Interlude 2: the first year in pictures

So this video is far from perfect, but I don't really want to put any more time into it.  And it gets the point across...Isaac has grown!

The first half is taken from "far away" while the second half starts over with close ups.  Each picture is about 1.5 seconds long...when I was watching it on the blog it seemed to jump sometimes...it might be my internet connection. :(

Oh, and the pictures were taken once a week.

Tuesday: slide

Today Isaac enjoyed going down his slide.  I'd put him up there and catch him at the end (so he slid a short ways all by himself).  He'd give me a huge hug (i.e., thank goodness I survived) and point to the top again.

Interlude: Weeks 50-52

The last of the weekly pictures!  I'm going to try and do monthly ones from here on out (if I remember).  I'm also hoping to put a video together for the last year, but we'll see how that goes too...

Week 50

 Week 51

Week 52

Tuesday: Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  Ben and I were just relaxing at our computers and I noticed it was close to midnight.  Then it was 12:01.  We missed bringing in the new year.  Oh well.

Dad and Pat came over to celebrate Isaac's birthday and we went bowling.  It was a good day.

Monday: a year in review

I know I still need to do a post on Isaac's birthday, but it's the end of the year.  So here's a quick look at the year in review with a randomly chosen picture from each month.

January...Isaac and Mom hang out.

February...Isaac becomes a sock model

March...Isaac turns two months!  He looks a little scared about it.

April...Isaac eats a duck's face.

May...Tulip Time!

June...Isaac turns five months

July...Isaac really wants some mountain dew.

August...whoa, I managed to not get a picture with Isaac in it!  This is the tetris quilt that I made.

September...Isaac helped model the tetris quilt

October...sitting for one of the weekly pictures

November...having fun with Ben

December...opening a present

Well, it turns out that I took a lot of pictures of Isaac.  But, it's been a fun year!  Hopefully 2013 is as good as this past one.

Saturday: snowmobiles

We played with some snowmobiles today.




Isaac went on his first ride too!
