New Shower!

Marshall did a spectacular job! The fixtures are not up yet, but the tile is absolutely beautiful!

Uncomprimising Position

We find Isaiah is this uncomprimising position many times in the morning. All wrapped up in his bumper and no way to get out! He is so cute!

New Words!

Can't you tell I love my son! Sometimes I feel I am little obssessed, but I know others are reading and love to know these little things. Isaiah's new words are "dis" translation "this", "dat" translation "that", "ish" translations "fish" and "smas" translation "Christmas". He loves the "s" sound at the end of words. It is a thing he has carried over from learning the word goose. His new loved for the word fish came from a early Christmas present from Grandma Russell and Papa George, it is a lamp that lights up and fish move across the lighted screen. He finds much joy in this new lamp and squeals and points and says "ish" over and over again. He absolutely loves it! He is also loving talking santa, all the snowman in the house and he loves the song "Jingle Bells", especially if mommy and daddy sing it together. As Christmas is approaching I so excited to share all these things with little Isaiah, especially the birth of Jesus. I know he is young yet, but it brings me such joy for the years to come with him. He is able to respond more and more to us everyday, like helping mommy and daddy put on their shows by handing them to us. Isaiah goes to the stairs when mention of a nap or diaper change, plus go to the cupboard if mention of a yummy snack or cracker. Isaiah is a true joy always, even when he is cranky. We love him dearly and thank the Lord daily for his childlikeness.
Good news the shower is tiled and grouted! Yippee! My husband did an awesome job and it is beautiful, I will have to post some photos! Showers in our own home are in our future! Thank to all who read.

Christmas Is Coming......

It is so fun to see Isaiah's eyes light up when he sees our tree lite up and all the other lights on around the house. He gets so excited when we turn all the Christmas lights on in the house. He runs around the house squealing and pointing to them. It is so cute! Plus, he is getting more and more interactive. He wants us to read and read and read him books and the same ones over and over again! It is great on one hand and on the other hand repetition can be an annoying thing at time. All parents know this or anyone who has spent many hours and days around children. However, it is exciting that one of Isaiah's favorite things to do is read. Marshall and I decided to tile our shower and remodel our bathroom for our Christmas present to ourselves. It is quit the task for this season. Marshall is working hard to get it done, because it is our only shower and tub in the house. Thanks to good neighbors who are letting us take showers every other day there. This is tough. He is working hard at it and doing a wonderful job.
