Isaac Walks!

This is about as far as Isaac can walk without a crash landing. He is getting better at it every day!

Still my baby...

Sometimes Isaac seems so old to me, but he's still just my baby! Isn't he
cute?!

Isaac goes down the slide

Isaac is so clever.  I just put him on the bottom step of the playground equipment and he climbs up all of the stairs up to the slide and he goes down all by himself.  He can't walk yet, but he figured out that he can go down the slide just like he does the stairs at home.  In this video I had to point him in the right direction because he was a little distracted, but usually he just goes straight to the slide.  We have had so much fun at the park with the warmer weather!

A Grand Day Out

It was finally nice weather again, so Isaac and I took the bus to the downtown library for storytime...he enjoyed riding on the eggplant toy they have there. Next we took the 2-3 mile walk to daddy's office to say hello. It was a great day to be out!

Isaac's First Birthday Party

The happiest face Isaac had while 'eating' his cake.  He was in a bad mood and barely picked at the frosting until he demanded we take him out of his chair.  I took video footage, but it isn't too exciting since he never really ate any of it.

His 'doggie' birthday cake.  I tried to make it look like the dog he sleeps with at night.

The cake for the grown-ups.  A dark chocolate cake with ganache frosting from Martha Stewart's website.  It was devilishly good.

We enjoyed having a few of our neighbors and one of Isaac's friends from church (and his parents) over.  He was pretty cross the whole time because he didn't sleep well the night before and had a morning nap that was much too short.  The funny thing was that after his party he took another nap and was a complete angel the rest of the day and even loved his birthday cake and kept crawling back to me for more.  Kids.

Look Who's ONE!

Isaac turned 1 year old today! He is such a sweet boy and we have loved having him in our family. A few fun facts about the birthday boy: His favorite word is 'uh-ho', his favorite color is blue (he always picks the blue ball over the red or yellow one), his favorite animal is a dog (he sleeps with his every night), his favorite foods are string cheese and Cheerios, and his favorite person is Daddy (he always gets so excited when he comes home and says "hi Dad!"). He still has a few more weeks at least until he is ready to walk, but I can wait. He also loves to get into everything that he shouldn't. Since we don't have any family around, we are having a small birthday party with some neighbors this weekend, so more pictures to follow!
