Thanksgiving
08 Dec 2012 Leave a Comment
Here are some shots from Thanksgiving. Isaac loved hanging out with Safta and Pop Pop and his cousins. Avery is pretty hard to pin down, but there are a few good ones of Zoe being a great big cousin!
Special thanks to Uncle Jon and Aunt Michelle for hosting at their place!

A Couple of Things

1. We think Isaac has started teething. He’s not sleeping in the picture below. He’s just gnawing the heck out of it.
2. He has discovered that his toes are portable toys.
3. He loves the band, Queen. He was mesmerized by their performance on t.v. We’ve actually never seen him so entranced before!

Here’s a gallery of photos on my phone that I did not post on the blog. They should be in chronological order.
Rolling Over

This is a couple weeks late, but at the request of PopPop, here is a video of Isaac rolling over. Officially, though, he rolled over on Nov. 13th. It was a week before his 3-month birthday. All that time he spent climbing on Mount Daddy paid off!

Three Months

in 4th Month
Happy (belated) three-month birthday, Isaac! I fell asleep early last night and didn’t get to post these pics on the proper day, but rest assured they are all from his birthday.
Some of Isaac’s new tricks: rolling over from his back to his stomach (he’s particularly proud of this one!), screaming with all new tones, screaming with extra volume, being angry (his dragon is starting to show!), and jumping (with a little help). He still loves the bathroom fan and looking in the mirror, making the bathroom his favorite room in the house.
Anyways, here’s his 3-month picture and a couple of pics with him looking cute and mommy looking beautiful.

Isaac, as usual, was looking super cute after this morning’s feeding. He was in a great mood and climbing all over Mommy. I snapped off a few pics (with the new flash, of course!); here are a few for your entertainment.

Two Months

Happy 2nd (month) birthday to Isaac! Our little dragon has learned some new tricks this month, like smiling and sleeping through the night on occasion. He’s also learned how to really crank up the volume on the cries when he’s hungry. The dragon must eat!!
Overall, though, he’s a great little kid so far. Here’s our picture of him at two months. Notice the Halloween theme? Subtle, I know. See if you can spot any changes from one month.
Safta’s Visit
14 Oct 2012 1 Comment
Safta came to visit Isaac in Foster City today and he was extra good (and cute) for her. He happily let her feed him, let out several big burps for her, and even smiled several times just so that she can smother him with more kisses.
Below are a couple of pictures from the visit.

I Got A Flash
11 Oct 2012 1 Comment
I bought a flash. Since Isaac is moving around a lot more, I wanted to be able to get some good pictures that stop motion. My old method of photographing him in low light (fast lens, high ISO) is good but only to a point. Any movement can really ruin the photo so the keeper rate is pretty low.
Of course, the keeper rate while I learn the flash is going to be pretty bad too, but you take what you can get. Here are some fun shots using the flash on camera and trying different techniques (direct, bounce, diffuser, etc) out.
