It's January 2, 2017 and that means Isaac William Vander Naald is 19 months old. NINETEEN! I know before I know it he's gonna be 19 years old, so here's to savoring these special days of toddlerhood while we can…

At 19 months, Isaac is…
Offering us some adorably cheesy smiles for the camera;
Eats most of his meals on-the-move;
Is just generally on-the-move;
Enjoyed his first round of swim lessons at the YMCA and didn't mind being dunked;
Continues to love his books, snuggles, animals and all modes of transportation;
Likes to help mama unload the dishwasher;
Calms and "tunes in" at the sound of music, whether it's his grandparents singing to him, the cd playing in the car, or the church organ playing hymns;
Continues to charm his babysitters and the YMCA childcare workers (see below)
Today when I dropped him off at the Y, I walked out of the room just as two workers were entering the room. When they saw me their eyes got wide and they smiled and excitedly asked, "Is Isaac here????" I told them yes, I had just dropped him off, and they both started running toward the room with big grins. I stopped and said, "Oh my gosh, you just melted my heart!" They turned and said, "We love Isaac! We look for him every day!" I am so grateful for these girls and the YMCA!
