9 Months and Clapping

Isaac had his 9 month check-up this week. More of the same news: he is a big kid! He is 30 1/4 inches long which puts him off the charts for his height. If he were 18 months old, he would still be in the 99th percentile. He weighed in at 24 lbs 6 oz, which is the 90th percentile. At least I can rest assured that he is getting enough to eat.



He is quite the speedy little crawler now and is having all sorts of fun exploring the house and the yard. He has also developed his "pincer" grasp so he can pick up all of the lint and leaves and anything else he happens to find and then put it straight into his mouth.

While we were in Hawaii he learned how to wave and did really good waving back at us, at the camera, and even at strangers. But now he seems to have forgotten how to wave and has moved on to clapping. He claps all day long. He claps when we clap, he claps when he's eating, he claps while he's playing, he claps while his diaper is changed, he claps when we tell him not to touch the DVR, and if you wave at him - he claps. We think he's a pretty funny little guy.

Our Vacation in Kauai, Hawaii

Here are some pictures of Isaac last week during our wonderful vacation in Hawaii. For a more details, visit our other blog.

Isaac was very happy at the beach.





He loved crawling all around the sand.



And didn't mind sand getting everywhere.



He also loved to eat some of our Hawaiian shaved ice.

Here we are at Waimea Canyon. It's a beautiful canyon and a nice afternoon scenic drive.



Here Isaac is ready to leave for the day. All lotioned up with SPF 50 all over his body including his hair. (hence the cool hair style)
