Isaiah 7.17 : Updates, etc.

Those of you on facebook have seen this already, but we thought we'd post this here for everyone else. Isaiah's got a new obsession of sorts and its pretty funny. Just before I took this video he had been running around our living room jumping up and down all excited, but I had to goad him on a little in the video. Enjoy!

Here's a little video I took a few weeks ago with Isaiah on Grandma and Grandpa Hanthorn's Pool table. He loves to play around on it!

I'll let the video speak for itself...

A little tradition on the Kolis side of the family is to celebrate St. Nicholas Day on December 6th. We put out our shoes and overnight St. Nicholas stops by and fills them with candy and presents. My family the presents are usually an ornament of some kind. The little video above is Isaiah m0re interested in the video camera than his St. Nick's Day presents under the tree!

Yeah for bath time fun! He's grown so much since our last video we realized, but in this one he gets to show off his 'new' fingers and toes! Enjoy!

Happy Saint Nicholas Day! My family's tradition when I was growing up was to celebrate St Nick's day by putting out our shoes the night before and waking up to an ornament and candy filled shoes if we've been good. It's a German tradition that not everybody celebrates, but its a fun little thing my family did that I'd like to keep doing. Rachel and I have done this for each other the last few years and this year we got little Izzy involved too! We have a little video of this morning for your enjoyment.

No we're not out at the sales. Somehow I think try to navigate the madness in our big ol' limo sized stroller with him would not be a good time. Traffic in a car in Atlanta can be frustrating enough, I don't want to have to deal with it with people and a stroller. Anyways, we've got another video for you all to enjoy. Isaiah doesn't say much, but you do get some cute pouts and a couple of smiles mixed in with his snorts...

We've got so much to be Thankful for this year! especially all of the help and well wishes we've received from all of you. We've got a healthy baby boy, with a couple of major issues, but all things that can be dealt with in time. We're so happy and lucky to have him. We're finding out fast that there are some great people down here that have offered their ears, their arms, and their wallets to us. We've got great support almost nationwide too! So as a quick little sign of thanks we've got this little video for you all to see the little guy in action.

We've had a busy weekend so far which is why we've been lacking in posts. All is well here, just taking care of business. Being parents takes a ton of time and most of it is tending to our little man's beck and call while trying to fit in things like mowing the lawn, cleaning the kitchen, and doing laundry in between. I did manage to get a video up and should have the photos up later tonight. Enjoy Isaiah's first trip on his little swinger...

So in the meantime while we await Isaiah's presence in our home I thought I would post a quick little video of his nursery for those of you who were curious. Its not completely done (or perfectly clean either for that matter) but check it out. We like it, and hopefully Isaiah will too. As for his progress today he didn't really have any desaturations since they put him on 2 different kinds of nosedrops and an antacid. They're going to run a sleep study on him tommorrow that will check his airflow in/out of his nose and possibly a hi res CT scan of his nasal passages to determine if surgery is the only option. Oh the fun of it all. Mom and Dad are doing better today. The last two days have been kind of tough going into the hospital thinking we're taking him home, but then ending up not getting to. Today we knew he was still going to be staying so it was a bit easier, but still hard. We miss our little guy and hope he can come home with us very soon! Rachel...
