Isaiah at Fifteen Months

-STATS: Weight-22lbs 5ozs (25th percentile), Height-31" (50th percentile), Head circumference-47 cm (50th percentile).
-Refuses to sleep in his crib. The last attempt I made was three weeks ago when he got so angry he threw up 12 ounces of milk and his entire dinner ALL OVER HIS CRIB. He has been sleeping in our bed ever since. We are in the process of getting his "big boy" bed and room put together so his little brother can take over the nursery and crib.

-YES the temper tantrums have begun. When he doesn't get his way he fusses and makes a stink about it. The good news is the tantrum doesn't last that long. . .unless you have him trapped in the crib. . .

-He takes one SOLID 2-3 hour nap a day. Being pregnant we usually enjoy these LONG SLUMBERS together.

-He loves climbing and is getting very good at it. Up and down the couches, down the bench off our bed, up this chair, down that chair. He even is scaling our coffee tables now! All pieces of furniture are being approached as climbing obstacles.

-He still loves looking at all his books and having me read to him. He is especially into the musically books that make noise or music when you press the button. He'll press the button, the music will start to play and he gets this big grin on his face and starts to bounce aka dance.

-He loves being outside. Often times he begs to be outside when we are indoors. He'll point his hand to the window or door and make his "AAAAHHHHHHH" noise that he uses for all his words.

-His third word is "NA, NA" for Nugget:)

I'm TOO Sexy for My Shorts. . .

Although the summer heat has been slow to arrive this year. . .last week the temperature hit mid 80's and the cloths are starting to come off. Is this not the cutest butt you have EVER SEEN?!?

Isaiah would probably opt for the nude if he saw THE RIDICULOUS OUTFIT I dressed him in for his first summer swim (I couldn't resist). What do you think Auntie Lexie? Is he rocking the hat and speedo we picked out for him?

Isaiah's First Haircut

I finally caved (after Jaime's countless pleas) and went to get Isaiah a much needed haircut at 14 months. His lovely locks got chopped as he stoically sat in my lap. Isaiah made not a peep. It made me laugh how resigned he was to getting his first haircut. I'm not banking that the next haircut will go so smoothly. Isaiah is very reserved until he gets familiar with his surroundings then the REAL DEVIL CHILD makes his appearance:)

Side Note: Isaiah's first haircut cost $9.00.

Rambo is Unable to Escape Unscathed

Isaiah has been all about conquering new territory and discovering new "places of interest" all around our house. Unfortunately he was unable to clear the tiny space with his precious face while trying to free himself from back behind our 30 gallon fish tank and the stand it sits on. The story goes something like this: Isaiah is playing nicely in the living room with a few of his toys. I decide I should be somewhat productive with my day and go to gather a load of dirty towels to launder. While BRIEFLY upstairs I hear this horrid scream from Isaiah aka "Rambo" and freakishly question if my son has just electrocuted himself!?! I come running downstairs to find him slithering his way out from behind the fish tank stand. He cries for a few moments but then becomes preoccupied when we sit down on the front room couch where Quincy happens to be basking in the Spring sun. Rambo has yet to be defeated!!!!

King of The Jungle

Isaiah shows no fear when it comes to interacting with animals. Diana and Steve (my sister-in-law and her husband) have two large Boxers that Isaiah wasn't even phased by as they trampled inside their house and made there way up to him to lick his face. Also, while at the zoo we went to the petting section and Isaiah had absolutely no hesitation walking up to the goats to say hello.

Spring Break 2011

Isaiah's Chicago cousins came out for a visit the week before Easter. It is such a riot seeing these boys interact with each other. We went to the cabin, the zoo, the park and had countless dinner get-togethers. Here are a few pictures of our journey to the zoo.

Easter 2011

We had a great Easter at the house with the Torres clan. This year Isaiah was able to enjoy his Easter basket for the first time. He has taken quite the likening to chocolate and jelly beans.
