15 month well-check...at almost 16 months

Isaac had his 15 month well-check on Monday...almost a month late because we had to reschedule. Our not-so-little guy weighed in at 23 lbs. 10 oz (40th %tile), is 31 1/2 inches tall (55th %tile), and has a head circumference of 48cm...which is in the 75th %tile...gotta have room for all those brains, right? He got a clean bill of health (YAY) and of course some yucky shots before he left. He was not a happy camper, but he's coming back around.

In the meantime, school has started up again as of Tuesday. So far I have 16 students in my class...which is a perfect number. If I can hold at 16, it will be very nice! We'll see!

And I thought I'd end with this...

Some of you know Isaac's obsession with my vacuum cleaner. We have to say "night night" to the vacuum when we put it away and he throws a fit! He loves it for some reason! Anyway, today I got him a toy vacuum to see if that could entertain him and distract him from the real one, and he LOVES it! It is too funny to watch him vacuum. Here is a video of him having fun!

More Pictures...

In case you just didn't get enough in the previous posts, I've added A LOT more pictures in the albums on the right...the 14 and 15 month albums specifically. Enjoy!

Beach Trip

This summer we also ventured back to Surfside Beach with our good friends, the Bockus family. Last time we went it was Spring Break and the water was pretty cold, so the kiddos weren't big fans of it. This time, the weather and the water were definitely much warmer...and both kiddos had a blast! The first night we were there, we were just planning on walking on the beach and not getting into the water...well...5 minutes later both kiddos were butt naked and playing in the waves. Mommies got wet, but we didn't mind. :) It was a great weekend, and I can't wait to go back! Here are a few highlights. :)

We buried Isaac twice, and he LOVED it!

After this one, I got him out to rinse him off, and he got MAD! He was having fun!

This was after he figured out I had the camera out...obviously he doesn't like pictures ;)

Gracie's Oreo face...YUM!

Double Trouble :) Nah..not really! Best Buds!

Exploring the beach house...

Colorado Trip

I know I am SUPER behind on blogging...but the end of summer turned out to be pretty busy...and the beginning of the school year is turning out to be even busier! So, I'm going to attempt to catch you up in a couple blogs.

As a final farewell to Summer, Grandma (Jessica's mom) flew us out to see her and Grandpa in Colorado a couple weeks ago. We had a BLAST hiking, throwing rocks in the creek, going swimming, and going to see the animals at the fair...among other things. We were outside all day, every day (except for naps, of course) since it was only 80 degrees outside and GORGEOUS! Here are some snap shots of the weekend...

Hiking...

Horses in Downtown Durango

Watching the train pull into the station...he was a little scared of this one. We could hear the trains from Grandma and Grandpa's house....but they are a lot louder up close!

At the train station...
Watching Barney on the plane...notice the head phones....MIRACLE WORKER!

Isaac studying up on his plane safety...notice it's upside down :)

The funniest thing of this trip was that we discovered that Isaac LOVED corn on the cobb. Now, we already knew he loved corn...but he got hold of the cob, and WENT TO TOWN...just check the video out...
