Santa Baby

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from Christmas. I found this Santa hat and booties for Isaac and although he also had a whole Santa outfit, this ensemble was so much cuter!

Isaac's First Christmas

Ok, so I know it's now February...but I figured I'd finally get some pictures from Christmas posted. So, here they are.....

Here's Isaac's first Christmas Eve jammies-so cute!

Here's Isaac with my mom-she said she actually liked this picture of her so I figured it was alright to post it.

We only got Isaac a few gifts because we knew he'd be getting a lot from both sets of grandparents. We got him a little set of plastic balls made by Playskool-he still loves them!

One of Isaac's gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Chapman is a toy that he can use for many years-it's a little desk with lots of buttons and rattles on it. It lights up and plays music-two of Isaac's favorite things!

When Isaac was about 6 months old he started finding the tags on his toys, blankets, clothes, anything! I thought it was just a weird quirk that he had, but there must be other babies who do the same thing becaue I found this little Taggies blanket for him-my parents got it for him for Christmas. It's just a little fleece square with lots of little ribbons dewn in that look like tags. The funniest thing is that he most often plays with the real tag on it. What a crazy kid!

Spike

Ever since Isaac was born he's had a full head of hair. Well,
one day I decided to give him a little "do" with some of Jake's
gel. It looked so cute! (Well, until he took two naps and played
all day) Watch out ladies, here he comes!

Yummy!

We tried to start Isaac on solid foods on Thanksgiving, but he's not too big of a fan yet-which is just fine with me. One thing he loves, though is Gerber's Biter Biscuits (yes, the box says for babies 10 months and up-whatever!). He was really going at this one tonight while I was cooking dinner. Luckily, none of it wound up in his hair so a bath wasn't necessary. He really knaws and sucks on it-they must not taste too bad if this is the only thing he'll really eat so far.

O, Christmas Tree

The Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Kidman Tree Farm in Polk City to buy our Christmas tree. It was a chilly, windy day, but it was fun to take Isaac for his first Christmas tree. We usually go to Captain Jack's, but they closed after last year's season. This tree farm was great for us because a lot of the trees are smaller-just like our house! Last year we made the mistake of getting a tree that looked small-and then we got it home and it took up half of our living room! This tree was the perfect size and with all the new ornaments I bought on clearance after Christmas last year and for cheap throughout this year, it looks 10 times better than last year's. I am in the process of making our stockings-they WILL be done by Christmas. We had a great time and Isaac didn't even cry when he told Santa what he wanted this year. Ok, so we cheated and backed him into Santa's lep-he never really saw Santa. Hey, you do what you gotta do, right? Isaac looked so cute all bundled up-of course he hated having all of it on, but at least he was a toasty little guy!

Almost Re-Blogging

Whew! I decided to make our blog a little more festive by adding a new background. I had to find one that wasn't from Blogspot-there wasn't anything I liked. I figured out how to edit the HTML (Yay me!) and then before I saved my changes it said it was going to delete some of the links. So I thought I understodd what it meant and saved the links to everyone else's blogs to put them in again. I saved my changes and viewed our blog. Well, I was in a state of panic because only the pictures from my posts were there-not any of the words. Yikes! Luckily, it was becausethe font color and the background were both set at white. That was easy enough to chance. Needless to say, I think I will save the text from my posts elsewhere so that if it all does it get lost for real, I'll have a back-up and won't have to re-blog it all. So anyways...enjoy the festiveness of our blog-I'll probably be changing it often.

First Haircut!

Isaac had his first haircut last month (I know, I'm way behind on my blogging). He did so good and it looked wonderful when he was all done. Adella Nelson cut it-she cuts all Isaac's cousin's hair too. I was a little nervous, but I think every mother is before her child's first haircut. The best part is that he doesn't look like he's had a haircut-he just looks as handsome as ever!
