Lucky #9

I can't believe that I haven't posted this until now! I swear this new mama mush brain thing is starting to wear on me!

On January 11th, Ian Bae turned NINE years old! It's simply amazing to me how fast these past six years have gone by. I needed to actually count the candles on the cake for a little proof! After dinner, Alecia and Mike came over for some cake, sherbet (Ian's dessert choice) and presents, which was awesome.

I had made Ian's cake to look like a present, and I was actually pretty proud of myself, it turned out looking great!

Isaac managed to sleep through most of the party, but joined us just in time for some of the last presents! Apparently, he didn't want to miss ALL of the fun!

Peaches Peaches Peaches

This morning as Isaac was acting less than impressed with the contents of his bottle alone, and then still not entirely impressed by his oatmeal, I decided that it may be time for fruit! I was looking around at the fruit I had, and peaches seemed to be the best choice! And I'm sure it comes as a shock, he LOVED them!

Peas Please

So, last week Isaac had his four month visit to the doctor. He weighed in at a respectable 15.1lbs! His doctor gave me the okay to start trying more exciting foods than oatmeal, so I started with peas!!! I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to what I feed this little guy, so I bought a food mill, which works fantastic!

Which to Choose, which to choose?

So, I've decided to enter Isaac in Regis & Kelly's 2010 Adorable Baby Contest!

But since he is simply one of the most beautiful, most photogenic baby boys on the planet, I have been having a bit of a hard time choosing a picture to send in!

As of right now, these are three pictures to choose from. Which I narrowed down from a mere few-thousand!

A touch of Dino Loooooove

My good friend Melanie's mom bought this cuddly dinosaur for Isaac for Christmas. At first I was a little bit worried that he wouldn't take to it, since he is just about the same size! I showed it to him the other night, but he wasn't too into it, but the next morning, while playing on his activity mat, he caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye. He just HAD to have him! I held him within his reach and vwa-laa, sat back and let the magic happen! It turns out, he's one of Isaac's new bff's. He's so soft and cuddly, not to mention, incredibly light, so Isaac has no problem at all letting him know who's boss around here! Ha.

The Newsboy FINALLY fits!

So, I had bought this uber-adorable newsboy hat for Isaac well before he had even made his grand entrance into this world. I couldn't resist, it was just too darn cute to pass up. Since I hadn't had a baby before, I had no idea about sizing on anything. And totally miscalculated this one. I was thinking that it would fit him in October, and be able to wear it to my brother's wedding. But alas, it was far too big then. But of course, of COURSE now that it's January, and won't be wearing anything but fuzzy, warm, woolen hats out of the house, it fits him now. . . . A R G !

My, isn't he dashing!

For Christmas this year, my mom knit Isaac a really fabulous sweater. And I was really glad that it fits him so perfectly right now, since we've been getting more than our share of snow around here. It's nice to know that he's quite cozy.

I still wish I had some sort of tangible talent like that, but alas I don't. Apparently wedding planning and organizing, aren't as adorable.

And oh yes, those are real wooden heart buttons on there folks!
