Our little Singstar

Izaac just love to sing. His first "actions to songs" was "Rock a bye Bear". Here he is doing the actions with me. "Hands in the air, rock a bye bear ....."

Izaac – 14 Months and walking

 

3 weeks after Izaac turned one - he took his first steps on his own. It's just been the cutest thing to watch. He loved to walk with his wagon or his scooter - and he was persistent. Now, he just loves getting up on his own and walking. He puts his hands on his chest as he walks, which is so cute, looking like a professor.

We went out last night and he just went off on his own with no concern of losing us. What a concern! Oh how things change continually.

Little milestones

Izaac is just beginning to learn to throw/roll a ball. Too cute. And, of course, he thinks it's the funniest thing ever. He'll throw the ball, then run after and chase it - laughing away. Keeps him entertained for ages. We're trying to teach him to 'throw to Daddy', then 'throw to Mummy'. But it will come .... I'll try upload a photo/movie soon.

Izaacs first birthday - 25 May 2008

Yes our little boy is now a One Year old! We had the most wonderful "Tea Party" for him. It was so cute. The littlies around the table, trying to pour the milk or water into their cups - it went everywhere, drinking from their cups and the excitement of these bright cupcakes infront of them.

Izaac was just in his element - he had so much fun. Izaac and Lucy were the last ones standing - still going for it after the others had wondered off. It was lovely just having a few of Izaacs friends there and seeing what develops over the years. We also loved having friends around us, that meant so much to us.

Izaac 10 Months

I've so enjoyed Izaac becoming so agile in his crawling and being mobile. He is just so cute and he loves his new found freedom.

Izaac 9 months - watch me fly ...

Here is Izaac doing his amazing, fast commando crawling. At one stage, I was wondering if he was actually going to creep on his hands and knees, as he was so good at crawling.

Fridge door photos

Currently these are the photos on our fridge door. Izaac loves to look at them and laughs and smiles when I go through them with him.

Birth photo

The classic birth photo. As the birth centre, where Izaac was born, encourages low lighting, it was really difficult to get good shots - as I hate using a flash. Also, I wouldn't use a flash near my new bubbie. Seeing this photo, seems like such a world away. In the photo, besides our new little bundle, we have my dearest friend, Linda (next to Rod) - who was our helper and support during the birth. Then we have Melissa, our amazing and wonderful midwife. Mel, so understood the type of birth and wanted and went to the nth degree to ensure that it happened. She was just amazing.

Family holiday - Port Stephens

This is one family picture we have. It was a pretty special moment. We had just spent the day together. We ended up at the wharf, had a beer together, laughed, relaxed and looked over a beautiful bay, just enjoying being a family and having our boy. These young japanese tourists offered to take our photo - which we so appreciated.
I love how big and strong Rod's hand over Izaac looks. I think Izaac will have Rod's strong hands.

Bathtime Cutie

Just before Izaac turned five months, this photo was taken. I had just plonked him into the rocker, to get some nudie shots before having his bath. I had no idea I would get such a great shot.

Dad and Son

Just a lovely photo of Rod and Izaac. The colour isn't fantastic, but I love both their smiles. Also, it was taken in the morning, so there was a lovely light coming through the window. Izaac was five months here.

Breastfeeding

My friend, Karen took this shot for me, when we went to a Woman's Conference in Sydney. I had wanted a photo of Izaac breastfeeding, but just hadn't got the "right shot" yet. Karen caught exactly what I wanted, the moment, the look.

Mum and bub

On our Port Stephen's holiday, this picture Rod took of us, on our walk along the beach. I just love this shot.
