Say Cheese!

Overnight Isak seems to grow and change. He woke up earlier this week with what seemed to be a new smile. He presses his lips together and the raises the sides of his mouth up. I could sit and watch it all day and he knows how to use this smile to his advantage as well :)

Just wanted to post some new pictures of little/big man. I bought him his first pair of tennis shoes this weekend....size 7! I shed a little tear in Target. I tried on the fives and his toes wouldn't even go in, so I thought maybe a 6...maybe 6 1/2...nope....a 7! He looks like such the little boy now when he wears them. He's not quite used to the hard sole yet as I've had him in moccasin type shoes (Robeez and Pedipods are awesome)...but he still runs pretty quick.

Right now, Isak is asleep holding his book, cuddled with his bear and blanket. I think he has a book in his hand everytime he takes a nap/goes to bed. Below is our little reader with his new crafty little smile.

(Picture Note: Dad helped to eat the wings pictured....but Isak sure did like them. Isak and dad love game night dinners when mom is working :) )

(Polly Wanna Cracker.....I gotta tell you, I love this hat....it is too cute)

(The new adorable smile)

(ha - cha........Isak's new game of trying to get you to make the same face)

Happy Halloween and more!

Isak seems to be changing over night at times. He is growing and learning so fast that I can hardley keep up. Below are our updates of pictures...there are quite a few as I am not too good at keeping up with the blog.


We've discovered that Sonic has a fun little playyard. Isak loves corndogs...and the play cars. He gets a little upset when they don't work as they should but loves to stay in and ride. This was his first time in the car. Watch out drivers!







Isaks new favorite thing to do is to crawl and look underneath things. He likes to throw his toys underneath and then tries to find them. This time, he decided to crawl through the coffee table. It was pretty cute and he was pretty proud of himself for finding the way through.





When you ask Isak "Where is Isak" he will cover his ears and he thinks that you can't see him. It is pretty hilarious. Here he is playing along with mom. He didn't think I could see him sitting there. When he puts his hands down, he laughs quite a bit thinking that he fooled you.

(getting too big too fast)

For Halloween, I handed out over 2000 pieces of candy at our downtown BooRama. Isak dressed up as a Pirate. We didn't really do any trick or treating with him as he really doesn't get any candy, but he had fun trying his first sucker. Steve said that he was drooling so much from it that his entire shirt was drenched.

Steve and Isak were downtowing strolling around in the wagon. The pirate hat is pretty cute...it didn't stay on very long but was adorable none the less. After the downtown event, we went to a friends house for some chili and conversation. They live on a street that is packed with trick or treaters all evening. Isak had fun running up and down the sidewalks. He was so excited and hyper. He finally crashed around 7:30 while hanging out in the sling.

(I know he will look back at this and think....seriously mom....a pirate.....what were you thinking)

Steve and I took Isak to a Pumpkin Patch just south of town earlier in October to play and pick out some pumpkins. He loved pushing the wagon around and running through all of the pumpkins. It was such a beautiful day. We will definetely have to go back next year!

(Isak found the perfect pumpkin....it was just a little heavy)

Isak was enthralled with the ducks at the pumpking patch. He loves ducks and kept running over to them saying duddy (aka ducky). He stood there for about 5 minutes and just watched them.


We hope this finds you all doing well. Hopefully I can be a little better about updating the site. Have a wonderful week.
