Thanksgiving

So, our first Thanksgiving went very well. Isaac ate turkey, sweet potatoes, and Kicks cereal. He's had chicken before, but this was our first experience with turkey. He rather liked it.



He's doing well for an only child; he shared his Kicks with cousin Nolan.

Our New Game

So my boy has finally discovered the joys of pulling the toilet paper off the roll. I hear that this is a rite of passage and that this joyous discovery was inevitable. I just thought I might have more time before he learned this trick. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Stats

Well, we've hit 10 months...I can't believe it. Isaac will be a year old in less than 2 months. Where does it go??? He has 8 teeth (the same 8 he's had for several months), and boy does he like using them! We're working on 2 more I think; he's been drooling on everything again. He is feeding himself cheerios, peas, pear, anything soft enough that he can pick up and put in his mouth; but he likes the cheerios best--I think it's the crunch he really likes. He is crawling around everywhere and pulling up on anything he can get his hands on (even the things that won't support him). He takes some steps while holding onto things. He's crazy destructive--his favorite game is pulling up on coffee tables, night stands, etc. and throwing everything off. He has learned to clap and wave. Tonight he gave Daddy some really good high fives and mimicked us when when put our arms in the air.

Florida Museum of Natural History

Isaac enjoyed walking around and looking at things. He found the life size models of American Indians intriguing and somewhat confusing. (I think he was waiting for them to move.)

He was enthralled by the overhead speakers.

Pacifier Substitute

Don't have a pacifier?


Just use a Lego man!

(He actually crawled all over the floor like this.)

Trip to Florida

Isaac and I went down to visit with the Grandparents, Uncle A, and Great Aunt Janice and Uncle Fred. Isaac had lots of fun exploring a different house. His favorite game was pull all the magazines off the coffee table (we did this multiple times a day). He got into everything he could think of--including diving naked into our suitcases (thank you Grandmommy for that one). He even figured out how to climb up onto a serving cart.
