BIG TEN

Isaac turned ten months old during our time in Minnesota.

He enjoys:

• brown bear brown bear book and gets super excited even just seeing it laying around!
• pushing cars, trains, trucks, etc
• snuggles on momma
• following sissy around and taking whatever she is playing with - she on the other hand does not enjoy this ;)
• walking along things he has pulled up on
• walking with a push toy
• waving
• standing (but no steps yet)
• climbing on things or over things
• opening and closing doors
• blowing raspberries
• making talking noises
• giving kisses-which mainly consists of his open, slobbery mouth touching your lips or cheek {PRICELESS}
• the word "boots"...not sure why but when we were out one cold evening in MN, Steve was talking about wearing boots and he just busted up laughing.  Now if he's in a bad mood or if you just want him to giggle, say "boots" and that'll do the trick!

Isaac got his first hair cut {sort of} during month ten.  He had started having somewhat of a mullet...and as fashionable as that was back in the day ;) I wasn't really into him having that hairstyle!  So I used Steve's beard trimmers and trimmed up the back.  No pictures were taken of this event, he was not the happiest camper, to say the least!  He isn't much of a fan when you touch his head/face in general.  He also grunts in displeasure when you tell him no or redirect him from getting into something he isn't supposed to be into.  However, he is responding better when you tell him, "no touch" and learning what that means.

He has become quite the traveler these days.  Isaac got to go with me to Indiana for the first time to visit some of our good friends.  It was a fun weekend away and my good friend April and I were even spoiled to have a girl time away while her rockstar husband watched Isaac and their own child.  Isaac also got to ride on a plane a few weeks later and got to spend his first Christmas holiday up in Minnesota/Wisconsin (which was really neat because Karis also spent her first Christmas up there).

WARNING!  You're about to see tons of pics!

We went down by the lift bridge in Duluth...not sure what we were thinking it was so cold! Isaac was happy to be snuggled up on momma in the Ergo carrier (with the exception of this picture, he and I spent most of that time in the car as Karis wanted to play outside.

The next few are Isaac on the day he turned 10 months.  Our little "brown bear", standing/pushing the toy, playing with outlets {even though we say "no touch"} and climbing through Grandma's obstacle course of chairs were some of the fun things he enjoyed doing at Grandma's house.
