my siggy sous...

i just love this little guy. we went to the doctor today for his 12 month check-up. we missed this appointment when it was three weeks ago because they reminder-called my mom's house...random. anyway, he got four shots and was really sad about that. good thing i was able to nurse him back to happiness. he did really great. he's such a big boy now!

here are his stats:

height: 30 1/4" (75th percentile)
weight: 23 lbs 5 oz (60th percentile)













i am so in love with my little siggy sous! he is so hilarious and i just can't get enough of him. here are some things i want to remember about isaac at this age:

*he can show me that he's one year old with his pointer finger and sometimes it's accompanied by his thumb which sort of looks like a gun, but whatever.

*he still has those adorable baby rolls...and lots of them! (raeann...)

*he can blow kisses. he also gives great open and closed mouth kisses when i ask for one.

*he just popped his THIRD tooth yesterday.

*he loves it when i sing little bunny foo foo. i'll ask him if he wants to sing a song and he'll put his fingers up to get that bunny ready to hop through the forest. he also loves it when i sing the abc's and count to ten.

*he does this weird high-pitched growl when he's excited.

*he will not lay down for me to change his diaper. i've mastered changing it while he's sitting or standing up.

*he scrunches up his nose and snorts and because we all think it's hilarious he keeps doing it.

*he's a major texture eater. he will not eat anything that feels slimey...even if it becomes slimey after he's chewed it he may spit it out.

*he loves drawing with pens...on anything he can find. including himself.

*he now sticks his hand down my shirt when he wants to nurse...i'm trying to break him of that one.

*he STILL plays with our ears when he's tired and now he plays with noses and eyeballs. everyone thinks it's so cute, but it continues to irritate me. i think it's funny how i've been given a child who can't keep his hands off my face...seeing as how i can't stand my face being touched!

*he constantly brings me books throughout the day to read him. his favorite is goodnight moon.

*when barney comes on he sits down and twirls his arms with excitement.

*he can make the sound of a horse by blowing through his lips. he can also raise his arm to show me what sound an elephant makes...it's super cute.

*he loves cheese...but only if it's in the shape of a triangle.

*he talks in his sleep.

*he will not sit in his bouncy anymore while i take a shower and since my shower has a small lip (no tub) he just crawls in there and plays with toys while i shower now.

*he sticks his food with his finger and feeds himself that way.

*he can sign to me when he wants more and when he's all done.

i know it looks like a lot, but i'm sure there are a bunch more i can't think of right now. he's just a funny little guy and we love love love him!

SO cute! You are going to be so glad that you have all that written down. I just wish we all lived closer so we could watch all of our babies funny things!
