11 things to love about Isaac:1. His messy hair in the mornings...for having little hair, he's had quite a few hair issues.
2. His friendly wave...he just sticks his arm straight out over his head, and grins the goofiest, friendlist smile ever. Consequently, everybody wants to stop and talk with him. I think more than any of the other kids, he really engages other people (probably because he has constantly been engaged himself by quite a crowd).
3. His giggle..so funny, if you "poke" him under the chin he giggles like a laughing box.
4. The way he smacks his lips when eating something he really likes.
5. The noises he makes when eating, "hmmm...mmmm...ahhhh!" ...he'd make a great commercial, every baby would want what he's having.
6. The way his face lights up when his brothers get home from school.
7. The way he says, "Da!" for guess who. How is it that I spend every waking second with the little man but he still can't master "ma"?
8. The complete look of peace on his face when he is sleeping.
9. The feel of his hand patting yours.
10. The smell of the crook of his neck.
11. The feel of the crook of his neck when you kiss him good morning, good day, and good night.

Isn't it funny how they say "da da" first??? I posted 7 things about me, and I am going to do the recipe thing here in the next day! Also I am going to send you an e mail now with my address--I have placenta brain and totally didn't give you that---the whole purpose of the email? xoxo Cherie
So sweet!! What a good age!!
Love "Itzak" so much....wish I was there, was just thinking that I wish I could hop a plane to come visit this weekend and now seeing your new posts makes me want to see you all even more but I know it's not possible.
I love your new format, don't know how in the world you did it, but it looks awesome. I think I have fallen out of blogdom....I am just not very good at posting consistently or replying to emails in general=) Maybe someday!
Aww..so precious, Jen...can't stand that I haven't met him..I'll be right up w/Beth!:)
(actually just looking through pics. this evening and can't believe it's almost been THREE years!!!!)
What a sweetie - loved the pictures and what you wrote!
Precious post! I am learning in a new way that there's nothing quite like the smell and feel of a baby's neck. :) Isaac is a beautiful boy! (Is it OK to say that?)
Ohh, what a kissable and gorgeous baby boy. I can't wait to see all of you very soon. The prince just asked me today when his princess was coming. He says they are getting married in two weeks. Is that enough time for you to plan your only daughter's wedding? I'll go out on a limb here in this public forum and say that I'm having serious baby fever. I feel like I'm holding onto my own baby's babyhood with my fingernails. So, your post only made me want to grab my little guy and kiss his neck too! Thanks for your posts. I don't always comment, but I love reading them. To me, there is nothing mundane about seeing my own experiences and feelings reflected in someone else. Love you!

What is it about these 'babies of the family' that have their Mommas so smitten?! I completely identify with your sweet post...my baby is almost 8 months. And it just keeps flying by faster and faster. And all I really wanted to do was simply slow the clock and revel in his 'newness' for as long as possible. Alas, it was not to be...
(I must include, however, that he was the first and only of my four to say Ma-Ma FIRST! YEAH!!!)
Blessings!
I just love all of your creative ideas! Your pictures are so beautiful as well...especially the one of Cole, Josiah, and Maddie holding hands! So sweet!
You have such a beautiful way of noticing the "small things"!! I really enjoyed this post!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Enjoy your day with your precious family!! God bless you all!!
BTW, I wanted to comment on the beautiful picture of your children holding hands at the top of your page. Simply beautiful!!
Jenny, So glad that I found your blog tonight. LOVE the photos. Your baby is beautiful! Our fourth is 16 months(a boy,also:). AND another on the way!
Lets get in touch.
God's Blessings!

I love this post because it is so familiar. These are some precious little guys we've got.
I just noticed the picture at the top of your blog. I promise I wasn't copying you with the one I put at the top of mine. Great minds think alike.
Jenni,
I've been a fan of your site ever since I've seen the link from Julie's blog. Just had to tell you how much the pics remind me Isaac's dad at that age - seems like I also remember the same crazy little wave. You are a lovely woman and mom! Love, "Aunt" Jackie
