I'd better get on this or eleven months will go the way of ten months and fly by without acknowledging the many milestones happening in this little man's life. Isaac has carved out a very unique place for himself in this family of all boys. He amazes us daily with his personality, his intensity and his overall charm. He is most assuredly a Fredin boy; rolling, scooting, sitting, crawling, walking, and cutting teeth when his brothers did. But even amid all the similarities there is something about him that is so very much him, all his own. I have tried (and failed) to put my finger on it. He's just Isaac, my sweet irreplaceable third boy.At 11 months Isaac:
- has five teeth through and is working on two more (he cut the incisors first and looks like a vampire-- I have tried repeatedly to get a picture without success)
- pats me and rubs my arms while he nurses
- loves to eat but hates being fed
- has a sixth sense about when someone has left the gates or bathroom doors ajar, opened the fridge or the dishwasher and can get there often before mom does
- has a special affinity for the toilet and tries as hard as he can to get there and splash before mom can catch him
- smiles constantly and continues to make friends in public
- can climb all the stairs of play structures at the park and then tumbles down the slide, giggling
- hums along when I sing him his lullabies and "sings" loudly during the hymns at church
- relishes any opportunity he gets to tear paper
- arches his back in protest when put into his car seat
- adores his older brother Luke, laughing heartily at all his jokes
- is warming up to Noah, learning to play cars and trains with him when Luke is at school
- prefers his momma but
- squeals when his dad walks in the door from work
- walks steadily
- runs clumsily
- climbs constantly
- giggles at his books, especially books with other babies in them
- loves his blankie and binkie
- says and signs "all done" when he feels like it
- claps
- utters a breathless and excited "da" when he sees a dog
- has brown eyes!
- has more hair than his brothers did and it is lightening up
- still flaps his arms like a bird when he is excited
- dances when my cell phone rings
- leans in for very slobbery open mouth kisses
- melts my heart constantly

Such a sweet post, Carrie. Thanks for sharing all that your little man is up to!
He sounds so cute, and looks adorable. I love the fangs! (I had them as a baby, but Gideon doesn't.) And I love the slobbery kisses. We get those around here, too.
