baby step

Isaac's taken a baby step twice now! I still think we are several weeks away from real walking, but watch out mama!

If I can find my flip I'll put a video up of him playing sometime soon. He's grown up so much in the last month or so.

10 months

Into trouble!



And here's a picture of me around the same age. Except for the expression and chubbiness, Isaac looks entirely like his daddy (lucky little boy). :)

Potpourri

We enjoyed a wonderful visit from Grandma and Grandpa Olson and Aunt Natasha and Uncle Tyler.

They joined us for Isaac's baptism on Sunday--a very happy day! If you would like to see the video clip of his baptism, email me (jmc.olson@gmail.com), and I'll send it to you.






Monday we took a trip to Assateague Island. The beach couldn't have been more beautiful, but poor Isaac was coming down with a fever and wasn't his usual cheery self.

Isaac's newest facial expression

Matt's jelly fish that much to my chagrin keeps trying to insert itself into this post

Sleeping under the umbrella

I can dance!

Yes I can dance. This is the "I'm-so-happy-because-mommy-said-that-Aunt-Crissie-will-be-starting-a-blog-soon" dance. Also called "tah!"

The ideal toy...

Would be one that is undeniably safe but looks insanely dangerous to a 9-month-old boy. Any ideas?

Calvert Cliffs - 9 month old

How better to celebrate 9 months than a trip to Calvert Cliffs! Mom and Dad got lost, so it took 4 hours to get there, but I'm a pretty flexible guy... At 1.8 miles from the parking lot, it's a bit of a hike, but I am lucky to be carried by a couple of enthusiastic if not athletic parents. I'll have to say that I got pretty tired by the end of it. I am told that I got so tired on the hike back that I even fell asleep on Daddy's chest mid sentence (yes I do talk).

Teething

Isaac's cutting his top teeth. Here he is using his favorite teether.
