Sale Pending!

We posted our house on our neighborhood's private Facebook page last Sunday.  The buyers looked at it Monday evening, made an offer Wednesday, we countered once each and we accepted their offer on Friday.  

We feel great about the price we got and the couple moving in.  

Love our small town market!

Happy 11 Months, Isaac

At 11 months, Isaac is beginning to stand for longer spurts and has slowly begun to take tiny steps here and there.  

He can also climb on and off the couch, up and down the stairs, and in and out of the laundry basket all on his own - and safely!  He knows "feet first" and is quite pleased with himself when he does it.  Of course, we are cheering him on the whole time. 

He likes to throw the ball and play "catch" with us and appears to be a southpaw, which makes Brian very proud.  

He LOVES animals and will squeal loudly at all dogs and cats that cross his path.

He also LOVES bananas, and will squeal loudly at the mere sight of them, whether at home or the grocery store.

Yesterday, while standing on the couch, he saw his buddy Henry through the window and started waving, smiling, and making excited sounds.  I opened the window and caught Henry's attention and he waved back to Isaac.  They just stood there waving at each other and smiling for maybe 10 solid seconds and it was adorable.  We sure are gonna miss our neighborhood!

Isaac's accessories

Lately Isaac has taken to quickly removing any hat we put on his head - except for this one:  

When we went for a sunny jog the other day, we both donned sunglasses for the first time in a long time!

He prefers no shades, as evidenced by his quick removal of his glasses and this smile:

Maude is hilarious!

Unbridled (Naked) Joy

When we change Isaac's last diaper of the day, we give him some naked time to get out his fidgets.  

As you can see here, he loves it! 

Can you see those top two teeth poking through?

Isaac the Great

I have a feeling this boy is going to be keeping us on our toes even more in the near future.  Thanks to Uncle Tom, Aunt Laura, and cousins Ella & Cooper for the fun walker!

I couldn't resist this one.  He was all shined up after some massage (with coconut oil).  Love this strong little back!

Happy 10 Months, Isaac

A lot can happen in one month.

I see the last time I posted anything was for Isaac's 9-month mark.  Since then, we have enjoyed some first experiences with sickness, some unexpected travel, and a few new teeth!  I have pictures of all that excitement to share in other posts, but for now….

Happy 10-months to our happy, fun, charming little man!

Um, I have no words for this one:

I'll let you imagine your own caption for this look:

No, he doesn't have rabies.  Just blowing a whole lot of raspberries and a slight case of the sniffles.

In preparation for our upcoming road trip, we got a car topper.  Our mechanic gave us the O-K for our old car to make the trip.  Brian is excited!

Lately everyone comments on Isaac's eyes…how blue they are, and how he seems to look inside your soul when he stares at you.  All I know is, they're beautiful!
