10-Month Update

My handsome little man was 10-months old on Friday.
I can hardly stand the fact that he's much closer to being a toddler than a baby.
 He has such a gentle nature, and he's definitely on his own schedule.  Unlike his firstborn sister, he naps on the go, only wears shoes when absolutely necessary,
and totally goes with the flow.
 He was a bit sick last week, and he ended up in Urgent Care with a fever of nearly 104 degrees.  When his eyes turned glossy, and his limbs went weak, Mama was pretty scared.  Thankfully, it was just a nasty virus, and it got over it pretty quickly.
 He's not walking, but he LOVES standing up.  He pulls himself up wherever possible, and he loves playing with/like his sister.
For the most part, they get along VERY WELL.  
They have a mutual admiration for one another, 
and seem happiest when in each other's presence.

 But this picture gives us a taste of what's to come.  
Clare is delighted about something that is devastating to her little brother.
Isaac currently LOVES: 
~ Bananas
~ Melon
~ Cheerios
~ The Pool
~ The Swing
~ Clare
~ Army Crawling
~ Standing
~ Touchy-Feely Books
~ THE REMOTE CONTROL
Isaac Currently Dislikes:
~ Being away from Mommy
(Separation anxiety has reared its ugly head.)
~ Sleeping through the night
(What's up with that?!)
~ "Crying It Out"
(Mommy and Daddy's solution to aforementioned dislike)
~ Getting His Diaper Changed
(He's a little twisty bug.)
~ Soap in his eyes
(Can you blame him?)
It's hard to believe that our little man is nearly ONE, but it's also hard to believe how much our love for him has grown over the last ten months.

Oh my goodness, that picture of Clare laughing and Isaac being sad is hilarious!!!

I'm getting such a kick out of how similar our 11.09 babies are! There are very few differences. Now the real question is...does I. like lasagna?

What fun!! He sure is a handsome little man. We've all really enjoyed SEEING you fall in love with him more and more this year. Sorry he's not a fan of sleeping at this point. I scored 4.5 hr a sleep last night (common for moms right?) and am having a fun day at work so far...I don't know how you just run on empty most days!

What a cutie!!! 104?! I would be peeing my pants. Glad he's okay. And boo to the sleep thing, it's the worst when they were sleeping and then they start waking up...
