Walkabout
So this weekend, he officially went from one tentative step to teetering across rooms. He’s still more comfortable crawling at supersonic speed, but within a week or so, he should be running full-tilt around the house!

More new friends!
Isaac is very very happy to welcome two new friends, Sophia and Amalia Mladek! They arrived last night around 11PM after Mommy helped get our friend Kristin to the hospital. Both of them are 6 lbs, 6 oz. and healthy. Exciting!

New Shoes, Fall Activities
Isaac was fitted for his first pair of real shoes on Saturday at the Shoetorium. Here he is trying them out with the helpful salesman, and recommending a style to his friend George:
Last weekend we went to the Harpoon Oktoberfest in Vermont:
We also did some hiking in the “backyard” (i.e. the town ski area):
Hey, you can see our house from up there!

One year! and another month! is 13 months!
Sorry, kiddo, but technical difficulties and your newfound ability to crawl at just shy of the speed of sound have prevented us from writing about how much we love you and what you’ve been up to the past year thirteen months.
It wasn’t so long ago that you looked like this:
When we brought you home for the first time! We had lots of cute clothes for you back then, too (still do, but it’s different now), like this little number:
For Halloween, we dressed you up as a pumpkin!
By then it was getting chilly, so we stuffed you into a BundleMe, and put a hat on you … which you managed to keep on long enought to take this:
January saw more warm outfits like this matching yellow duckie number:
Bibs featured prominently for quite some time. Here’s you playing on the floor with a red model:
Although it wasn’t *that* cold this past winter, we still had plenty of fun things to keep you warm, like this dinosaur suit, which you had lots of fun wearing for the three weeks it actually fit!
By April, things appeared to be warming up, and the sun came out, which meant sunglasses … that mostly didn’t stay on:
May, it was still chilly, but you were counteracting that with more activity, wriggling about and such. So we put you in a box:
Then June came along. Cold again (say WHAT?). Get out the warm-ups!
Ahh, finally, summer! Fourth of July! You’re ten months old!
At least we were finally getting outside a bit! In August we even managed to hang out and eat outside:
And then you were a full year! And telling it to the world, too:
And now you’re walking, using the Radio Flyer (toddler model) you got last Christmas!
And LOVING that, I might add. Much like mommy and daddy LOVE you! Happy 13-month-birthday!
Love, Dad
