Last year when Isaac was much smaller, Walden Pond was a great trip for the parents and he tagged along. Now that he is a big, two-teeth kid (yes TWO, both on the bottom, he looks like a reverse beaver, not really, but still...) he enjoys Walden Pond. Here is a video of him splashing around:



We saw some pretty cool wildlife, like this tiny little frog that Dad almost stepped on:



Speaking of amphibians, given Isaac's love of the water, hear is a picture of our little amphibian:



I am certain that there are many times when he is crying or whimpering and his mommy picks him up and he gives me a wink or a nod as if to say "She's mine now." Here I finally caught it with my camera:



And finally, doesn't he really look like a big kid here (only the bib and sippy cup give him away, otherwise he looks like he is about four):

Isaac Anthony, last weekend, was found in his crib sitting up. This means we know he can do it, but he was not doing it in front of us. Then, boom, he did it. And did it again and again and again. Now he does it all the time and I finally caught him on video:



Oh man, he is so quick now. He is on the very edge of crawling. He also does something we termed the Buddha Scoot. He gets into a variant of the Lotus Position, and then bounces up and down, pushing off with his feet and leaning forward at the same time. It is not the quickest mode of transportation, but it is certainly the funniest.

More later.

There are some moments that you know, instantly and as they happen, that you will never forget. They are moments etched into your brain with a chisel. Some are terrifying. Some are grief stricken. Then there are other moments, tiny moments that happen so often with a child, that you take a breath and are thankful for your existence. I happened to film one. Here it is:



Is there anything better than the look he gives his Mommy?
