Sweet Boy
Another recent picture that I wanted to share.
Isaac still loves books and balls; trains and tractors. He can say TOUCHDOWN and do the arms raised up sign for it. He likes to wiggle his arms to show what an Octupus (Octi) does. I figure an octupus has to do that as many arms as they have. The last few nights when we've walked at night....he has found the moon and kinda keeps tabs on it during our walk. He's a snuggle bug and likes to give hugs and kisses. LOVES to say and wave bye bye. Izy also really likes shoes! :-)
I was looking at a few blogs today and noticed on my good friend Ruth's (Izzy's Mom) blog.....that today marks 300 days since our GNR. I didn't realize that at all. That number sounds like such a long time ago. Nowadays when i think of this time last year......i know i was really really getting ready. And thinking and knowing it could be anytime. The hard part of waiting was really getting cranked up. I always thought we would travel the week right after Thanksgiving. Not sure why. It just seemed like a good time i guess. Turns out we found out about our GNR a week and a half after Thanksgiving and then traveled 6 days later. I know.....6 days later...wow! And my life hasn't been the same since. (well...i guess actually it hasn't been the same since I started the process).
It's so hard for me to imagine my life without Isaac. I always knew being a Mom would be great.....but never knew how great. Don't get me wrong.....it's hard.....harder than i ever imagined....for so many reasons. Some days I think I'm doing ok....and other days i think i'm not very good at this. I've been told this is all normal....i sure hope so. But when i see that little face and see his sweet smile and hear that laugh......i just feel this incredible lump in my throat and smile in my heart. I have to believe this was always God's plan for me......to be Isaac's Momma.
Isaac Berke Van "Izy Berke" has indeed......stole his Mommy's heart!

Explanation
I should have explained the lawnmower picture in the previous post.
That's the mower (tractor as Izy would say) that was flipped over during the tornado and landed upside down. My dad has worked on it here and there and was able to get it to run again. But it's still without a top. :-)
btw....Izy LOVES tractors. About everything with wheels is a tractor. BUT he's still a little unsure about riding on one just yet.

Time for another post
I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post.
Isaac is doing good. Getting bigger every day.
This past weekend marked our 9-month Forever Family anniversary! And Isaac will be 18 months old next week! Time is really going by quick.
Here are a few recent pictures.

Izy Izy Izy
Have I mentioned that Isaac likes to eat?! Haven't really found anything he doesn't like.
This summer he is especially enjoying veggies from Papa's garden. Fried okra, squash, and corn (see picture below) are big hits.
His vocabulary is growing each day. And the volume of his little voice is too! :-)
He now knows what a choo choo train is and loves it when he hears one. (at Nana & Papa's house)
Izy still loves balls and books! He loves to clap when he puts a ball in a basket or anything for that matter in something. But he also expects his audience to clap as well. (which they always do)
He enjoyed a visit from his big cousin Katelyn last night. She had him laughing histerically!
Today the little fella is 16 months old! Where has the time gone? We've been home 7 months. Our little family has adjusted so well and as Papa said last night.......what did we ever do before Isaac.
One note on Nana & Papa. Some of you may remember from an earlier post...in February...their house was hit by the tornado that came through Atkins. Well...today they officially bought (closed) a house in Atkins and will be moving in next weekend! They can finally move forward with a new home and Isaac and I are very very happy and excited for them!
