About Isaiah

I realized, after posting about his birthday, that I haven’t said much about Isaiah. This has been largely the result of his being unable to do anything but poop and squawk. But I gave it some thought, and came up with two lists of particulars for those of you who want more information about the littlest Woodlief.

Things one year-old Isaiah has decided he likes:

  • Ice-cream cake
  • Daddy’s spaghetti, when finely chopped
  • Being carried by one of his older brothers
  • Pulling out all the cookbooks and scattering the loose-leaf recipes neatly folded therein across the kitchen floor
  • Getting tossed in the air by Daddy
  • Everything about Mama, but especially her breasts
  • Giving open-mouthed kisses
  • Yanking Daddy’s goatee
  • Yanking the cat’s tail
  • Baths
  • Having Isaac climb into his crib, even though Isaac’s parents have repeatedly threatened him with bodily injury if he does it again

Things Isaiah is decidedly against:

  • Getting licked all over his baby-food smelling head by the dog
  • Naps
  • Being strapped into his car seat
  • Not being able to ride on the tractor with Daddy
  • Anything involving the green bean
