Some of Isaac's favorites...

- He loves to "attack" our arms and hands.  One moment he could be sitting contently next to us playing with his toys and then, all of a sudden, his mouth is "attacking" our arm/hand!  It's actually really cute... it's his way of showing affection!

- He loves the strings on my sweatshirts.  Whenever I'm holding him and have him facing me, his first move is to go for the strings... and they usually end up his his mouth!

- He does "The Hulk" (as Scott calls it)... When he gets excited, his arms go up in the air to the side and he shakes, ever so slightly, in excitement.  Oh, and his face is so cute!

- His newest favorite is what I call the "curious"... he's always peeking over my shoulder or over whatever he's sitting near as if there's something really exciting- over there... usually, it's just the floor! Pretty exciting... I know.

-He loves bath time... and he loves putting those spongy letter/number toys in his mouth... and leaving them there!  So he could move on to the other toys in the bath while keeping the spongy letter in his mouth.  It's really quite funny!

What's over there?

Mommy's always got that camera in my face...

so I thought I'd see what was around it...

Peek- a- boo mommy!

Vegas baby!!!

Had to find some shade so I could eat...

After all, it is Baker- home of the world's

largest thermometer!

Me and my daddy...

Mommy's new outfit for me!

Thought I'd help with the driving...

Mommy's view...

Taking in my first Padres game!

Ummmm... what is this thing I'm in???

Learning to crawl...

Ok... now what do I do?

Ummm... how did I get here?

Doing the plank...

Getting good at it...

Must have a strong "core"

Let's try this again...

Forget it!  Way to much work...

Need a rest!

Much better!

Signing time at the library

Mama takes me to the library for

signing story time...

This was the first time we went so

I had to show off Auntie Debra's onesie

she bought me- it was a hit with the teacher!

Family day...

Dada wanted to take me to the beach...

So mommy got me all dressed

only to find that the beach was cold!

Mommy & daddy decided to

have a photo shoot instead!

Am I surprised?

PS... notice the bulging muscles!

Man time...

Winding down after a long day...

Catching the basketball game with my daddy.

Mommy wasn't allowed in... (Sigh from mommy)



Rico Suave

It's the hat that makes the outfit!

Shopping...

Mommy was so busy

shopping Grammy & I decided

to rest... notice the jacket? Again...

Hanging with my friend Esiason

"Say 'cheese' Esiason... my mommy is

always making me take pictures.

Get used to it!"

"So... you wanna catch lizards with

me later??"

Just showing some love...

More posing for the camera!

My friend Mr. Duck

Oh... How I love thee

Really mom?? One of me sleeping?

Mama Maisonet here...

I think my lil angel looks like an angel when

he's sleeping... especially with those eyelashes.

I wanted to capture this image for my memory book...

(Drip drip as the tears roll down my face...)



Play time!

Mommy has decided it's time for me to have some independent play time...

So she started me out in my crib.

She'd prop me up with pillows and left me to my

heart's content with a crib full of toys.

Sometimes, I'd play for awhile... and sometimes, I'd be ready to

get out sooner than I think she was ready for me!

However, I have progressed to my pack n' play and

can spend quite awhile playing contently....

all by my big self! 

"Ummm... mommy...

where'd you go?"-

not sure what's going on here???"

"Ummmm... guess I'll just sit here"

Photo op... again (Sigh from Isaac)

So... mommy & daddy (more daddy) seems to always be putting me in front of the camera.

I've gotten quite used to it since that little black thing is always in front of my face.

And, what's even more, is they are always trying to make me look

at it and smile... don't they know I have better things to do?

Workin on my poses... and, of course,

my smile!

For some reason, mommy adores this

jacket and makes me wear it

all the time... so I thought

I'd strike a pose for her!

Think I nailed this smiling thing

down for this one!

Going for more of a sultry pose in this one...

Contemplating...

 

"Yeah... so... I was thinking...What shall we

do about world peace?"

"Ahhh... very well very well...

Let me marinate on that thought...

mmmmmm"

Oh yeah!

Look at me!

Riding with the big dogs now...



What I've been practicing...

... And mommy just so happened to catch me at the

right time- usually, I sit (that's what this is called right?)

for a few moments and then, for some reason, I find myself

leannnning over for a bit and then falling...

flat to my face squished up against a pillow.

Hummmm... guess that's what they mean when they say

"practice makes perfect!"

Starting the "brainwashing" young...

So far... so good

Hopefully by the time he's 18, it'll be a no-brainer where

he'll go to college...

Now... how to pay for it??

That is the next question...

Mommies new favorite thing I do...

Searching...

Ummmmm... what are these??

There's only one thing to do with them...

YUMMY!!!!

Learning how to sit up...

Well... guess I still need to keep practicing???

Haven't quite got it down... yet!

First visit with Santa...

I didn't cry!  In fact, I just sat there... and cooed!



Christmas

So fun!  To have our first Christmas with our little munchkin!  The "problem" was, if you can even call it that, was Isaac had no clue as to what was going on!  Duh... of course not... he's only 3 months old!

Guess I can't wait for him to know what's going on while at the same time I'm not in any hurry...it's a catch 22 for his mommy!

What more could a man want- food (check), remote (check) & stocking full of goodies (check)

Oh... how I love thee

My special bear from daddy!

Of course I had to get a Giants jersey... Daddy

wouldn't have it any other way!

Our perfect tree!
