9 month check-up

Isaac is now 9 months old. He is very busy, and walking pretty well. He can walk about 20 feet without falling or stopping. He tries to climb on everything and definitely takes his share of falls. I just can't believe how quickly he is growing into a little boy. It's kind of sad, but on the other hand...despite his business and always trying to get into everything, he seems much happier (now that he is more mobile) and life seems a little easier. It's amazing how much better we all feel getting a full night of uninterrupted sleep!
I took Isaac to the doctor today for his 9 month well check-up. Thankfully he did not have to get shots this time. He did have a prick in his toe to check his iron level, which was normal. We did find out that Isaac is too little and needs to consume more calories daily, partly because he is so mobile for his age and burns a lot of calories. He weighed 17 pounds 6 ounces (4th percentile), is 27.5 inches tall (16% percentile), and has a head circumference of 45 cm (33 percentile). The doctor wants him to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks per day in addition to his regular milk feedings. We have to go back in a month to have his weight checked out. She also wants us to feed him more protein and more table foods.
That's all for now.

2nd Haircut

Isaac had his 2nd haircut a month ago, around 8 months of age. He had some new hair growing underneath a layer of his original hair. Adam did a good job of blending it together. Isaac cooperated pretty well. Here's Isaac's new and improved hair-do! His haircut definitely makes him more like a little boy instead of a baby.

Isaac in Action

Just enjoying my robe!

This is what I'll look like as an older man... with my robe, house shoes, and toothbrush (I really love my toothbrush)!

Spending time with Gran and Grandad's at Gran's birthday party!

I love when Aunt Amy reads me books!

I have a need for speed...I get that from my Daddy!

Tornado Isaac!! Just hanging out and taking cover during the tornado warning.

Grandmama just gave me a bath. Oh yeah...this is before my new and improved haircut.

I love going to the library!

Wonder if Kelsie will notice if I sneak one of her Easter eggs.

Look at me. I can stand by myself, while I hold a teether in my mouth and another in my hand.

I loved my first Easter egg hunt.

BYE-BYE!

Fun at the park

With the weather being so nice lately, we have gotten to get outside a little more. Isaac got to experience a couple days at the park. He really enjoyed swinging. He just grinned from ear to ear. He also enjoyed the slide, but it made him a little timid. He sat up tall at the top of the slide, but had a firm grip for security and was hesitant to come down. Once he slid down a couple times, he started to enjoy it too! Here are some pictures from our outings at the park.
