New Year, New Baby

Isaiah really, really wanted to see in the New Year. He adamantly refused to sleep on the evening of the 31st and he almost made it: He collapsed at 11:41. (All the drinking did him in, I think.) He woke up at 1am, panicked at having missed everything.

As this suggests, he's pretty excited about 2009: The foto above was taken the morning of the 1st, just after he, somewhat amazingly, flipped over -- at the age of 4 weeks and 1 day. Technically, it was more of a topple than a flip: He'd pushed himself up higher and higher until he lost his balance and collapsed onto his side; then he wiggled and wormed his way onto his back.

We're delighted by this, of course, but we're also terrified. I mean, at this rate, the kid's going to be dating at 4 months.
