Happy 17 Months, Isaac

Happy 17 months to our beautiful boy!

At 17 months, Isaac:

Jabbers up a storm, although he is the only one who knows what he's saying (about 90% of the time)

Runs, jumps, kicks, climbs

Earned this feedback from his dentist:  "Well, he sure is an active one, isn't he?"  

(Isaac also has nice looking teeth, evidently)

LOVES books, dogs, cars, trucks, buses, vans

Loves to snuggle

Feels strongly about things (hello toddlerhood)

Can reach a pitch on par with an opera singer

And, as one of the YMCA childcare workers put it:

"He is just a joy to be around!"  

Go Brian!

This past weekend Brian wanted to run a 10K at a nearby forest preserve.  I asked him if he was going to try to "race" and he said, "No, this is just a nice Saturday morning run on a trail..."  Well, he went ahead and won his age group!  More importantly, he enjoyed running out in nature for the first time since we left Juneau.  Isaac enjoyed playing in the crunchy leaves, and mama enjoyed cheering on all the racers as they ran by.  Especially Brian!
