Best Birthday Ever!

I think I had my best birthday ever...and it was my last one before the big 3-0. It kind of snuck up on me this year; you're a lot busier when you're a mom! I was going to take Isaac to the dowtown library on the bus, and that was as far as I got with the planning. I woke up at 6:15 am, which is when Lance normally leaves for work, and he was still in bed. I woke him and and told him he had slept in, but he told me he didn't have to be to work until later, so I fell back asleep. After an hour, I woke up again and he was still in bed. "When DO you have to be to work?" I asked. He had fibbed...he was not going to work at all! He took the day off to give ME a day off of being a mommy for my birthday! He cooked a delicious breakfast, then told me I needed to be somewhere at 10:15 am...he had booked a massage and pedicure at Escape Day Spa! It was quite the experience, and VERY relaxing. After 2 hours at the spa I came home, we took Isaac to the park together, I ran errands ALONE (and with a CAR), then he surprised me with reservations at the Bluebird Cafe. It was a great day! Thanks Lance! (and everyone else who made it special with your phone calls, emails, and cards!)

These pictures have nothing to do with my birthday, but here are the latest photos of Isaac.

Isaac has become very proficient at pulling himself up on anything and everything!

My best attempt at capturing Isaac 2 bottom teeth.  One of his top teeth has broken through, and the other is on the verge...it is quite the blister!

Nothing New...



So, there's nothing really new with us. Isaac had his 9 month appt and is now 19.1 lbs, 28.5 inches tall. They don't give me exact percentiles, but he's a pretty average kid (although his growth has slowed due to his picky eatinghabits). We have been enjoying the beautiful Tennessee Fall weather. It was shorts and T-shirt weather all last week. Isaac and ventured downtown on the bus again and had a slightly more successful trip than last time, minus the angry old amputee that yelled at me on the bus, but we at least got home before dark.

9 months old!!

I can't believe how much Isaac has grown!  He is loving to crawl around, pull himself up, and is even trying to climb on things.  He still hates pureed food, but loves crackers and cookies.  He waves at people (and objects that he likes) and does a little babbling.  We sure love him!  (Sorry for the sideways pictures!)

Tim Embody in our ward snapped these shots of Isaac at our ward Halloween party. Didn't they turn out great?!
