zero to twelve like that!

One of my friends did something like this and I really liked the idea! It's Isaac's first year of things I enjoyed and didn't enjoy! Ha! Of course the entire year was amazing...I thought I would show you his progression:) I love this boy!

1st month

enjoyed: seeing a child that had been growing inside of me for 9 months in real life! a beautiful creation of God!
didn't enjoy: feeding every 2 1/2-3 hours and lack of sleep!



2nd month

enjoyed: watching Isaac smile for the first time! (6 weeks!) and him sleeping trough the night (8 hours) at 8 weeks. praise the Lord!
didn't enjoy: not being able to fit into my old clothes right away. ha! working out 5x a week again.



3rd month

enjoyed: more interaction with Isaac and him finally looking at me. VERY rewarding!
didn't enjoy: more spit ups!



4 month

enjoyed: his laughter. he laughed so much at this age and had such a great sense of humor! also his sleeping patters of 10 hours at night!
didn't enjoy: starting solids and burping. he was a hard burper!



5 month

enjoyed: watching him start to scoot around more. he really was anxious to start moving around on his own.
didn't enjoy: trying out veggies. he wasn't (and still isn't really..) a big fan.




6th month

enjoyed: watching him crawl around
didn't enjoy having to start baby-proofing everything!



7th month

enjoyed: watching his personality form. he was obsessed with textures. he loved taking his fingers through the sand. touching buttons...zippers, etc.
didn't enjoy: my son growing up so fast!



8th month

enjoyed: Isaac having the eating solids thing down.
didn't enjoy: teething!!




9th

enjoyed: taking him home for Christmas and spending time with family! Hearing his laughter through out the house
didn't enjoy: taking him back to Nicaragua :(






10th month

enjoyed: him sleeping a great solid 12 hours every night! watching him cruise and say "mama and dada"
didn't enjoy: him getting into everything!




11th month

enjoyed: his sweet personality and starting to be more cuddlier.
didn't enjoy: his strong will starting to show...



12 months!

enjoy: seeing him walk for the first time! him saying funny words like "doo-dah, dat, poo-yah.
haven't enjoyed: starting to throw food overboard! mama doesn't like that!

Isaac's First Birthday ( Cat in the Hat!)

Pre-party shots...





It's amazing it's been an entire year ( and then some ) since our sweet baby boy was born. April 22 was his birthday and I am just now getting around to blogging about it! There are so many changes that take place in the first year it's so much fun! Looking back now...it all seems like a blur. I'd have to say that this past year has been the best of my entire life. Not only am I married to an incredible man of the Lord but I have a beautiful and healthy son. I'm so thankful once again for God giving us this most precious gift. My Mom was able to come down for a week and get ready for the big party. I don't know if you guys know this but one of my closest friends here had a son two weeks prior to Isaac being born. His name is Isaac ( eezak )if you were to say it in Spanish. We decided to throw theirs together because they were so close in age and had the same name! :)

My first cake!
