Mama & Baby





Izzy Paul is 9 months old.
He has 5 pearly whites in his mouth
He has mastered the army crawl and grunts the whole time since it is such hard work 
Sometimes, if he's in the mood, he will growl back at his talking tiger book
He loves skyping with his Grandma and Grandpa in MN 
The noises he makes are becoming more and more varied with high pitch squeals and low rumbly growls
Loves music and has begun to bounce around to it
This smart little guy has learned how to get into things we never thought he could
His Pappy taught him to lightly bump heads with people as a sign of love. It's one of my favorite things to do with him now :)
He has the most deliciously smoochable cheeks
Changing his diaper can be an all out wrestling match
Those little pincher fingers have gotten so quick at putting food in his mouth rather than his lap, cheek or hair
He is a very good eater and hasn't been opposed to anything we've given him
He looks like a chunker in these photos, but he's actually pretty slim, still wearing some of his 3-6 months clothes! (even a pair of pants that are 0-3!)
He has become a bit more of a 'mama baby' lately and I actually have to hide from him in the prayer room if I want any time to myself
He is a joy to us both and we're so excited to raise him according to Deuteronomy 6
(4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
)

Conveniently his name is Israel, so we can say this is talking directly to him :)

Endearing log of Israel's "new things"! I love the colors, the comments and the scripture to pray through for Izzy!
