Family Visit

Cassie's family came to visit Thursday afternoon-Monday morning. Isaiah was very excited to see some familiar faces. He loved playing with his cousins and having the extra attention from Yai-Yai, Papu, and Auntie Melissa. While they were here we did a little sledding and went swimming at an indoor pool (two firsts for Isaiah).

It took a little getting used to, but Isaiah really liked the pool. Especially playing on all the cool pool toys they had.

All of us enjoying a swim.

Isaiah wasn't sure he really liked playing in the snow. Like the pink boots :) (borrowed from his friend Kendyl)

Snow!

We arrived in Truckee (last Sunday) to a second winter. The ground was covered in snow and it snowed a good amount on Monday & Tuesday and on Wednesday we had thunder snow. By Thursday afternoon it had warmed up a bit (low 60's) and it melted quick. It looks like quite a different place than it did when we arrived a week ago. Here are a few pictures.

On a walk near the condo. The snow level is still really high.

In front of the condo we are staying at.

Nothing to do with Truckee or the snow, but I think it is such a cute picture.

Truckee here we come!

We are heading to Truckee for Matthew's job. He will be doing bird surveys in the Truckee for the next 6 weeks. It should be fun and we should get to see some snow. :) We'll post some pictures from Truckee soon.

10 Months

Isaiah is 10 months old today (cousin Olivia turned 1 today). He is going, going, going all day long. He still loves being outside and every morning we have to go outside to "ride" the bike around the yard and go for a wheelbarrow ride. He stood by himself the other day, but doesn't show that much interest in walking. He will walk across the room behind his walking toy, but mostly just to show off (he has to make sure you are watching first). Here are a few pictures of him doing some of his favorite things.

Playing at the Mission Springs playground. He loves to crawl around in the sand

and play with sticks.

Brushing his teeth. He will no longer allow me to help his brush his teeth. He mostly just chews on the toothbrush, but gets really sad when I take it away.

Standing up. He loves to stand up by everything, especially the foot stool

because it rocks back and forth.

TRUCKS! Isaiah loves trucks. He will drive his trucks around the house making "vroom" noises. He also says truck (or his version of it) every time a truck drives by.

His first real word besides 'mama' and 'dada'

Cleaning. Well really just vacuuming or sweeping. He loves them both and insists that you hold him if you are going to do either. He has figured out where we keep the broom and goes and gets it and tires to bring it to us. It is pretty cute.
