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!

I love it! So cute. 300 days is a long time and so short at the same time. Can't wait to see you - soon!
Too cute. He's a doll. I know what you mean about how different everything becomes. I can't imagine going back to how things were before Katharine. Hope to see you next weekend.
I think the title of your post sums it up best!
Yep, 300 days can you beleive it! I noticed it yesterday on my ticker as well. Amazing.
Precious, just precious! I am so glad you have him, and he has you! Look forward to getting together soon.
No wonder he has stolen your heart...look at him....he's precious. Time flies doesn't it?
