1-Human Paragon 1
2-Wizard 1
3-Human Paragon 2
4-Human Paragon 3
5 and onward-Wizard
That progression will net you 8 more skill points, a bonus feat that's not restricted to item creation or metamagic, a +2 to any ability score of your choice, proficiency with a martial weapon of your choice, on top of adaptive learning the Human Paragon gets to pick any 10 skills to be class skills, a D8 for hit points, and a better BAB. The only drawback is there's no spellcasting progression at 1st level.
