I know these are pretty late, now that we are in December and the focus is on Christmas and all, but how could I not post these pictures of my adorable boy's first Thanksgiving? We had a great day filled with family and too much delicious food.

My happy boy. My world changer. 

My heart is full

Something so special happened today.
This morning Isaac and I were hanging out in his room when he looked right over at me and said MOM.
I freaked out in squeals and laughter, ran over and gave him a big kiss! He then followed up with repeating "momom" several times, and has now spent the day repeating variations of the two! So sweet people, so sweet.

I don't think it's possible for this boy of mine to be any more magical.
He may or may not know what it means just yet, but it's still so amazing to me.

In other news, Isaac decided he would prefer to crawl around on his hands and knees today, rather than army crawl everywhere!

Isaac: 8 months

I can't believe I'm already writing an 8 month post for my little dude. I feel like his first birthday is so close now, and I can't wait to celebrate my sweet boy's first year of life!

Holy goodness, this child has gone through a crazy amount of change over the past month. I would literally wake up and send out texts about how grown my baby is compared to the day before.
He is all.over.the.place. EVERYWHERE. The boy can army crawl at an alarming speed. He doesn't seem interested in crawling on his knees since we have wood floors and he slides so quick and easy, so I think he is pretty content with that. When we are somewhere that has carpet, he crawls on his knees.

One day I put Isaac in his crib to play while I cleaned up his room and put away laundry, he started giggling and I turned around to find him standing up! oh my goodness. Now his main goal each day is finding something, anything, that he can use to pull himself up on. He flips over toy baskets, uses bookshelves, and the sofa! The boy has also had quite a few wipe outs when he gets too excited and lets go. These have made for several heart attacks for me.

(first time standing up)

(He crawled over to his little rocking chair & pulled himself up

to get his bear! So sweet.)

(It's become nearly impossible to photograph my boy, he

is always a moving blur these days!)

Our days are suddenly much more busy and active, but this age is amazing. I'm sure it only gets better!
Isaac has also had two little bottom teeth finally cut through!
Bath time is his favorite time ;) He does the same happy naked dance every day before getting in the tub, and it fills us both with laughter every single time.

Happy 8 months, my little love!

Halloween!

I'm really not that into Halloween. At all.
But now that I have a kiddo I need to step up my game. With Isaac barely turning 8 months old, I took advantage of this being my last year to sort of slack.
Halloween day I ran into Party City(madhouse) and bought a few decorations all 50% off... I set up a little area at our house for any trick-or-treaters who may stop by since we wouldn't be home to hand out treats.
Instead of strolling the streets with our little Dinosaur, we took him to a fall festival and had a really good time!
