SSI's Last Week as a Baby



It's hard to believe that in one more week our little peanut will no longer be a baby, but a toddler. We spent this last week enjoying some long awaited sunshine and warmer weather, watching the last of this snow melt.  On Sunday we went to the Family Concert at Shriver Hall.  As soon as we got Isaac into the carrier for the walk across the Hopkins campus Isaac leaned his head back into the sunshine and warm breeze and just gave the happiest of smiles.  He enjoyed the concert too. Between listening to the music and observing all of the other babies nearby, he seemed to have a great time.






Daylight savings time has thrown Isaac off a bit and this week he's spent several mornings in bed with us after a very early wake up.  Luckily he would fall back asleep snuggled with Mommy and then in the morning (at a more reasonable time) he would wake up laughing to see Mommy next to him and then lean in to give her a kiss. Even though it's been a rough week of sleep for all of us, those super sweet moments have made it seem not so bad.



Isaac continues to find the curtains to be a great source for peekaboo, and loves the view from any window in the house.  Instead of doggy nose prints on our windows we now have Isaac face and fingerprints.  The other night during naked time Isaac went right to the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the hall and stood there in all his glory.  Of course we had to take a picture, and just as Mommy had the camera ready Isaac nonchalantly looked back over his shoulder.  Here is a cropped out shot. 





more peekaboo!



















We picked up Isaac's glasses this week and while he won't keep them on for very long periods of time, we did get a shot of Allie trying them on. 





















Speaking of Allie, she hopped up on the couch and interrupted some cuddle time with Daddy.  Isaac was very happy to see her.  





 















Here is Isaac making silly faces after nap time. He looks huge here!
 


 

Of course we have some more shots showcasing Isaac's huge appetite.  While he continues to try anything he definitely eats his fruit before anything else. He also makes some pretty silly faces when he sees Mommy getting out the camera.

Isaac is still working on his dance moves and has added a side-to-side head nod to his repertoire.  This is also how he greets Daddy in the morning.

 

Mommy made some wonton ravioli last week and while she did, Isaac contented himself on the floor for quite a long time playing with measuring cups and a colander.  




As we are getting ready for Isaac's Teddy Bear themed birthday party next week we've pulled out all of Mommy's old stuffed bears and Isaac has really taken a liking to the koala bear. It makes him smile every time he sees it. 







And today we had a long overdue visit with one of Mommy's oldest friends, Jen and her 2 daughters Gracelyn and Addison.  Isaac loved staring at and observing the girls.  He played with the sparkles on Addy's shirt and kept sneaking kisses to Gracie. They brought Isaac the cutest personalized teddy bear sleeping bag too, and we just can't wait for many fun times using it!









 

And here is Isaac waiting in the sunroom for our company to arrive. He discovered he could use the dachshund statue as a step stool.
