Three years have come and gone since God's amazing surprise blessing was born to our family. Isaac's pregnancy was my "shortest" ever and he was born after a full day of labor, struggling to breathe and ended up spending ten days in the NICU. But our Isaac is a fighter and is still a fighter to this day.
He is a fun and strong personality that brings smiles and sighs as he goes after what he wants with all of his might. Isaac is full of laughter, as his name means, singing, playing games, experiencing all life has to offer. He loves to climb and explore all of he world around him. He wants to know how everything works and can be a bit destructive when this curiosity is not 100% supervised. But it's such a blessing that he loves to learn and wants to learn it all.
Isaac also loves to help with setting the table, taking care of Esther and cleaning chairs and trays. He has also become quite adept at cleaning his hands and face with a rag. Brushing and flossing is an automatic for him as he loves to have clean teeth. He completely believes he is as old as the big boys and can do everything they do. He's definitely getting there!
Recently, Isaac has taken to learning phonics and numbers as well as perfecting his colors, shapes, letters, and animals and their sounds. One of his favorite games is guess what animal I am! And he's quite diverse in acting out those animals. Such a fun time! He's also into books, especially the "poopy book" that teaches about using the toilet and what poop is. (Very much a boy!) He beginning to enjoy singing and asks to sing many things from "Jesus Loves Me" to silly songs from movies. And he loves to talk! He will talk about almost anything that he knows about and loves to ask questions. It's such a blessing watching him learn.
Isaac also loves his family. He loves being a big brother and taking care of the younger two, especially baby Esther. He makes sure to give her kisses before bed every night and asks to hold her. He plays with James and Timothy and is learning to clean his room and make his bed with Lillian. He's growing so fast.
We're so grateful for this precious boy God has given to us and hope that his strong will is tuned to God's will so that Isaac is strong in Him!
Father, Thank You for Isaac and the joy and laughter he brings to your world. He is such a precious life and we are so blessed that you gave him to us. Thank you for his stamina and go getter attitude. Use it for Your Kingdom and Your glory. Make Isaac strong in You, filled to overflowing with Your Spirit. Please save Him by Your grace and give him a deep abiding faith in the power of the cross of Jesus, and let him life a resurrected life sold out for You! In Jesus Name I ask these things. Amen!
