Isaac was singing away while I was listening to Eric Clapton this afternoon. He also joined in during Choir practice last Sunday. It was hilarious!

Christmas Stockings!

Okay, Jonathan isn't home so I can't get stupid blogger to lay out the pictures the way I want them to.

Can you guess which picture was taken without Jonathan assisting to get a smile? That's right, the second one!

Below is the story about the stockings...

My Grandma Jones has made stockings for all of her grandkids. She hasn't been able to knit due to her arthritis for many years now. Unfortunately, for me, I didn't think my family could carry on the same Christmas tradition. Then, my friend LeAnne introduced me to Etsy. It is similar to Ebay except it is all homemade crafts/things. I was perusing "knitted stockings" and found a woman who made stockings just like my grandma. I sent her a picture of my families stockings and asked her to make them for me. She said that it wasn't the exact same pattern but she had the one my grandma used!! I about fell out of my chair with excitement. I can think of 3 other times I have been so excited. My engagement, wedding, and the day we found out Jonathan was accepted to U of M. (I was too exhausted to be excited when Isaac was finally born. Also, I was more shocked than excited when I found out we were expecting a baby. You would think those events would be more exciting than finding out about stockings...oh well...)

Thank you jpyle from Etsy! You made my Christmas this year!

Playing with Daddy

Isaac has been smiling at us. I really think they are purposeful now. Jonathan gets a lot more smiles than I ever do. All he has to say is "Hi, Isaac!" And he is all smiles. In the morning he talks with his dad. I was trying to get him to smile for some pictures and had to get Jonathan to come over and play with him so I could. I don't know what it is. I think they are already starting to form a father and son bond.

Here is Jonathan helping him sit up. He was just holding his hands to help him balance. He is getting stronger and stronger everyday.




This is what happened when Jonathan stopped playing with him and put him down.

Assisted Tummy Time

Isaac likes tummy time when he uses the Boppy! I love his big blue eyes. I have to enjoy them while I can since they are bound to turn brown.

Another cute picture...

Isaac being prim and proper holding his little wrist. I know, I know, my son is adorable.

A call for pictures...

Hanging out with Ana and Hunter at the church Halloween party.



Jonathan's classmates bought Isaac some outfits. These pictures were from when he put together a fashion show. Yes, he dressed him up. The pea pod costume/snuggly and the giraffe pajamas. If you look closely enough you can see the giraffe ears and face on his feet.

Yes, he is as big as his 6-8 month old friends. The only difference is that I had to hold him up.


Go figure. We get tired out....he has some Jones in him.

What's Isaac learning?

Charlotte was very inquisitive yesterday when she called and asked, "What is Isaac learning?" So, this video is for Charlotte and all others who want to see an adorable boy cooing and smiling!
