Week Fifteen

Week fifteen was relatively low-key. Isaac continues to love his bathtime, and based on my observation of my nieces' baths, he is a bit bizarre in that he only likes it when the water is hot - really hot!! Looks like he'll follow Bill's footsteps on that one. This affinity for heat works to Wilson's disadvantage as Isaac conversely hates the cold. No matter how bundled up he is, Isaac gets very upset when the cold wind blows on him during our walks, which has made them a lot quicker and less frequent. Isaac got his passport in the mail this week, which seems extremely quick, but I guess they didn't have to do much background checking on him!! It's amazing to think that the infant mug shot below will still get Isaac in and out of the country when he is a lot bigger. We also had a fun play date with two of my colleagues from work who had babies a few weeks after Isaac. Coincidentally, we all work in the same section, and all ended up having baby boys by c-section within three months. It was great to see Liz and Adam and Taylor and Silas, even though the babies didn't acknowledge each other. The other boys are better sleepers then Isaac (shocking!!) and continued sleeping even as their mommies positioned them next to Isaac for this photo!

We also took Isaac to the Smoky Glens Farm to cut down his first Christmas tree. Isaac's aversion to cold came into play again here, and after a couple minutes of checking out the scene and allowing us to take his picture, he got very upset (can't blame him, it was 30 degrees and snowing!!) which definitely forced Bill to speed up the decision-making process, much to his chagrin. Thankfully, even under the gun, we were still able to pick a great tree. After Isaac and I approved the choice, we went back to the car to get warm while an axe-wielding Bill successfully cut it down and strapped it to the car.

Home safe and warm, Isaac helped a little and then watched the Gators handily defeat the Crimson Tide for the SEC championship from his bouncy seat while we put up the tree, the menorah, and the lights outside. Carl and Kate (expecting another new friend for Isaac in June!!!) came over to help us decorate and have dinner that night.

We ended the weekend with a sad goodbye to Bill who is off to California for a few days for work. Before leaving, Isaac got a tutorial on computer usage, and in return spit up a little on Bill's work clothes to ensure Bill would be thinking of him on his trip :)
