It's been a while . . .


Wow! I didn't realize I hadn't posted since August! I look at how much Isaac has grown in just a few short months and am in disbelief!!! While he is still very much a little baby, he is also growing to be quite the little "man". My, how time flies!


In just a few months' time he has learned to:
~pull himself up to standing
~crawl
~move himself from his belly to sitting
~clap
~say/wave "bye bye" (when he's in the mood!)
~cruise along the furniture
~bite!
~climb stairs
~walk behind push toys
~stand by himself
~take a couple of steps
~say "WOW!" and "Yeah!"
~imitate sounds that others make


He has also:
~outgrown his infant car seat and is now in a "convertible" car seat
~cut five teeth (and is working on another)!
~ridden on a four wheeler with Daddy
~ridden out a hurricane and then evacuated for the sake of air conditioning :o)
~celebrated a Darcy Anne Ramos' 10th "birth day" with her. She is a beautiful little Trisomy 18 baby who went to be with Jesus at just 15 days old. (If you'd like to read about her beautiful story, visit her website: http://www.darcyanne.weebly.com/)
~took pictures in a pumpkin patch (at The Old Time Christmas Tree Farm)
~saw Tio Leo and Tia Julie for the first time since birth!
~attended our church's Reformation Festival
~got his first taste of candy . . . oops! :o)
~voted in a Presidential election . . . or at least went with Mom and Dad to vote!
~watched Nana skydive in honor of her 60th birthday!
~celebrated Mom and Dad's 9th anniversary!
~celebrated Great-Grandmother's 95th birthday!


Life has been full, and Mom and Dad wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything in the world.


On to the pictures. I've divided them up by month just to get them out quickly. In August you'll find more swimming pictures (in Uncle Curtis' and Aunt Julie's canal). In September you'll find Labor Day pool party pictures and Hurricane Ike pictures. In October you'll find pictures in the pumpkin patch, pictures of Tio Leo and Tia Julie's visit, and Reformation Festival pictures. In November you'll find Tio Leo and Tia Julie's baby shower pictures, Nana, Aunt Andy, Uncle James, and Uncle Jesse skydiving, and Great-Grandmother's 95th birthday party.


Eventually I'd like to divide them up better, but that may only happen offline. :o)


I was going to continue to post them on the Picasa site, but ran out of storage. At the same time, Shutterfly started allowing free downloading of pictures. If you'd like the pictures and can't figure out how to download them, please e-mail me and I'll send you the pictures you're after via e-mail.


Enjoy the photos!
