Cutting the cord

Isaiah started daycare today. Wow. That's just not natural. But it seems like a pretty great place, with wonderful people... and probably a LOT more entertaining than hanging with us. He sits up now like it's no big deal... is actually starting to straight-up LOUNGE. Petit jeune homme!

yee haw.

isaiah anthony is on the move! oh boy. the time has finally come to actually babyproof the house. he's perfected the roll, to the point of perhaps never needing to crawl, and is practically sitting on his own...

things got a bit hairy...

well, so much for not cutting his 'fro until 5 yrs... after just 6 mos, isaiah's hair truly depicted a rat's nest. a tumble weed. a mad scientist. but, why i thought i should be the one to do the honors?!
all his soft baby locks are sheered, and i've left him with an uneven Brillo pad. it's going to take us all a while to recover this trauma. in the meantime, we're on the hunt for a proper barber...

moses the dog

as far as isaiah's concerned, garvey & i are chopped liver when moses is around. isa's a bit slow to warm up to him sometimes (with that breath, it takes a lot of love), but their relationship is parasitic before long...

gummy grin

isaiah's really been cracking himself up lately.
either that, or he's laughing at me.
crap. and so it begins...

giddy up

isa's been rockin the high chair for a while now, but i just came across this clip from his first 'ride'...

snow day!

today we're appreciating an extension to our holiday, thanks to Mother Nature & almost 2 feet of snow! isaiah skidded around in his new sled--and i think would have actually smiled in these photos if not for frozen cheeks. moses knocking him over probably didn't help, either.

bearing gifts

whew. here & gone! merry Christmas... so good to see so many of you. much thanks to all our family & friends who worked to make this one heck of an amazing 1st Christmas for Isa. what child is this? santa baby. drummer boy!
