Go Blue!

This picture is from about a month ago (December 15, 2009), when Noah and Isaac were wearing their matching University of Michigan pajamas (from Grammy and Grandad, of course!). Noah thought it was great that they had the same clothes to wear! He's trying to give Isaac a hug in this picture.

Puppy and Monkey

This is a picture from Christmas Day, after Isaac opened his present from Noah. Noah gave him a monkey to seep with, just like he sleeps with his puppy everyday. Monkey is currently propped up in Isaac's room, anxiously awaiting the day when Isaac is old enough to sleep with a big stuffed animal/pillow.

Isaac's Exercise Routine

Isaac had his two-month well-check yesterday, and we are happy to report that he weighs 15 pounds and 3 ounces (97th percentile), and he is 24.5 inches long (90-95th percentile). We are so thankful that he is perfectly healthy.

Isaac is so fun to watch when he gets kicking! In this video, he's laying on our bed and watching the ceiling fan while Noah takes a bath.

Finger Painting!

I think that finger painting has become one of Noah's all-time favorite things to do. What could be more fun for a two-and-a-half year old? Thank goodness for washable finger paints! When Noah is finished painting, he insists that he needs to wash his hands all by himself. That means that hand prints are left on the bathroom door, the stool by the sink, the sink bowl, the faucets, the soap bottle, and occasionally on the wall if I don't get to him in time. Once he gets to the soap, he does do a really good job of washing off the paint, though!

Noah's Drums

Our house has been rockin' to the sound of drums lately. Noah got this electronic drum set for Christmas, and he plays with it at various times throughout the day, every day. It has three cymbals and three drums, and he's getting good at keeping a rhythm and hitting different drum pads. He's also been good at sharing it with Daddy!

Endless Smiles

Isaac's name means "he will laugh," and he has been living up to his name! It is so fun to hear his coos and baby "talk," and he laughs at us quite a bit - I guess he likes us! I had fun taking lots of pictures of him after a bath. The hair on the left side of his head takes on a life of it's own after it's been washed. No matter how I comb it, it stands straight up! His hair has a tinge of red in it right after it's been washed, and the sunlight in these pictures helps to show his deep blue eyes. I couldn't decide on just a few pictures, so I made an album with them all. You can decide which one is your favorite!
