An Isaiah Post

Isaiah is different than Isaac in some ways. They're both fun little boys, but Isaiah has been showing quite the personality lately.  He's much more serious on the whole than Isaac. Of course Isaac's name, Isaac Joseph, means "The Lord will add more laughter" and Isaiah's is much more serious and means God's Salvation...so it's no wonder. :) Yet he's not unhappy, just...not super smiley. He does however get super frustrated when he doesn't get his way. We took his pacifier away when he turned one and since then he seems to be showing himself to be quite strong-willed. He will guard his toys at all costs and gets very emotional when Isaac somebody takes them from him. And he's not a fan of anyone leaving the room. Particularly his Granddaddy.

As much as Isaac is a favorite in Asia, Isaiah is a favorite among the ladies in America. Particularly Ms. Gloria of Gloria's restaurant. She immediately brings him a plate of fries and bowl full of ketchup when he walks in the door. She likes to take his shirt off so he "doesn't get any ketchup on him"... yeah right Ms. Gloria...we see through you and your weakness for dark handsome shirtless men.

He likes dirt a lot. His face wasn't that dirty in this pic, but if there is even the smallest pile of dirt (read: ant bed) anywhere, he will find it and put his hand in it. It's cute though, dirty crusty boogers and all.

Here's him getting mad that he can't get up on my lap.  You will find this look on his face when anything goes not the way he wants it.

He loves ketchup. Most of the time he will just stick his one index finger in oh-so gently, but then the frenzy starts and its fistfuls as fast as he get them in...

He LOVES his Granddaddy. Granddaddy is by far his favorite person. Probably because he takes him everywhere and gives him gum. Which Zay chews...for like 10-20 minutes, then when he's done he'll spit it out! He's never swallowed any of it. How does he know how to do that? Isaac sure doesn't!

Him on the boat ride during our Disney-on-the-cheap excursion. I tried to get him to sit with me, but he clung to Granddaddy's arm with much intensity.

Inspecting his "monorail ticket" to check for authenticity. 

Your feelings are strong for.... brother! Obi Wan was wise to hide him from me."  What a cute youngling...he wears it well. After all both Skywalker kids were adopted!

We love our mini-est man. Even with his non-sillyness, he still is a lot of fun and "all boy." Yay for Zay!
