Isaac at One Year

Little Baby Isaac is one year old and cuter than a bug's ear. He came in at the 40th percentile for his weight and the 70th for his height at his one year well check. We've never had a baby who wasn't wearing size 18 month clothes at a year, so a baby who is still wearing 12 months clothes is new for us.

Isaac may be a little guy, but he's been walking since he was 10 1/2 months old. He is our earliest walker. Matt says that when he walks in the door at night from work, Isaac provides the comic relief in what looks like a movie scene. All the other kids are running, shouting and jumping in a cacophony of chaos in order to welcome Daddy home. In the midst of it all, wee little Isaac toddles through the jumble, narrowly dodging any number of flailing bodies that could easily throw him off balance and to the ground.

Isaac still sports eyelashes that are longer than the legal limit and he still is not sleeping through the night. We've never had a baby sleep through the night before a year (or even eighteen months, for that matter), so this isn't a surprise. It's just a bit wearing on Isaac's aging parents.

Isaac is just the sweetest baby. So easy going, except for when he's very tired. When he is tired, he sucks his left thumb and holds his right ear with his right hand. What a blessing God has provided to our family in baby Isaac.
