Lately

My mind has been so far from blogging these past few months. With such a busy little boy on my hands, it's the last thing on my list. But when I get the time and urge, I want to write down what little I can.

Since my boy is napping I was sitting at the computer browsing through the site I use to make photo books, and found myself going through the one I made of Isaac's first birthday. It's shocking how quickly that day arrived and is now just a sweet memory. Looking at those photos fills me with so much happiness, and a little sadness too. He was such a baby still. Now he's a wild, passionate, happy little toddler. It's a common thing to be told that time with your baby goes by so quickly before your eyes, but actually experiencing it is just unexplainable.
It's almost dizzying to take in the constant changes of my sweet baby. Each day he seems different, smarter, older, more understanding. I try my best to savor who he is at this moment.

A little about my growing boy at 16 months...
He now has 9 little teeth, that he just loves to brush after his bath each night!
He understands everything and is always thrilled to be helpful, like throwing away his banana peel and other things. Although sometimes it takes a few times of me repeating myself and walking through it with him, like when he takes a drink and then throws his cup clear across the living room and doesn't want to go pick it up.
He knows quite a few words but isn't always consistent with using them, he still prefers his own gibberish baby talk and is oh so serious while in a conversation using it.
He loves pointing out his eyes, belly button, nose, etc.
He brings me books but as I'm reading he will take over and read to me while pointing out the pictures.
He loves food, mostly fruit.
He's almost always happy with the exception of throwing a small fit over getting only one vitamin a day. He loves taking his vitamin and will ask for another throughout the day.
He still loves to dance which never fails to make us laugh. If he hears music while we are out eating or in a store, he will start to groove.
He has the best laugh.
He loves his dad, of course. When he hears him pull up and make his way to the door, he squeals and dances with the biggest smile and runs to greet him.
He is nature boy for sure. He never gets tired of being outdoors, ever.

Easter Sunday

Being a mom on holidays is the absolute best! I know it will become even more fun as my boy grows and understands them, the baking and crafts we will do together... I can hardly wait! This year for Easter we started the day at Church followed by lunch and egg hunting at my mom's home. Isaac is always happy to be outdoors running free! He doesn't understand the whole concept of egg hunting, but he was more than thrilled to carry his bucket around tossing in the eggs he would spot, and looked absolutely adorable doing so.
