1/2 of a year

This sweet little guy is 6 months old!  

Not a day goes by when someone doesn't say... "I'm so glad we have Ike", "what would we do without Isaac?", or "isn't he the best?".  He has made us a better, more loving family.  

Ben and I were sitting on the fence about having a another baby.  We had been out of the baby stage for a while, the older kids were a piece of cake by then, we didn't know if we wanted a baby so much younger than the rest... but oh my goodness, what a good decision we made.  He is the perfect caboose to this family.  He is so loved!

Favorite people- Mom and Dad (of course)

Favorite food- Mother's milk (Ben calls it that), formula, and applesauce (in that order)

Favorite thing- Being with his siblings.  He seems a little sad when they're all at school.  He likes to        be in the middle of the craziness. Carly's always hauling him around on her little hip and 

     he loves it.

Favorite place to sleep- In his crib.  I used to take naps with him on my bed every Sunday, but now          he just pokes at my eyes and pulls at my hair until I give up and put him in the crib.  

Nicknames- Ike-y baby (given by Hailey)

                    Mr. Winslow (given by Carly)

                    Bubbs (given by Abigail)

                    Sir Isaac Newton (given by Luke)

 19.5 lbs. (77%) 

28.75 inches (98%)

Carly wanted in on the pictures

My favorite

Jake and Hailey saw us taking pictures, so they wanted in too.

Ike was slowly falling backwards and Jake put his arm back to catch him.  Jake and Hailey were both so excited that he saved Ike's life.  Seriously, they talked about it a lot.  They are hilarious.
