Birthday party

Isaac slept in on the day of his party, waking up at 9:15! As I brought him downstairs, he was rubbing sleep out of his eyes, then staring in amazement and wonder at all of the colorful decorations Mom and I had put up the night before. He pointed and ooh’ed and aah’ed with the…

My baby turns 1

My dear sweet baby boy, You are ONE.  You are all of sudden looking more like a little boy and less like a baby every day.  I’m pretty sure I’m going to cry on Friday when I take you for your first haircut.  I’m pretty sure that will push you over the edge into toddlerhood.…

Isaac’s first Easter

We had beautiful weather for Easter.  Perfect weather for a family photo!  Out of about a hundred tries, we got ONE where all three of us were looking at the camera.  Whew, it is a lot harder to get Isaac to look at the camera than it used to be.  Forget about smiling, lol. I…

11 months!

Our little man turned 11 months on the 23rd.  I can’t believe we’re so close to one year already! Here’s the rundown of what he’s doing lately: -He stood up!  All by himself, with nothing to pull himself up.  We were playing out on the grass, and he just pushed himself up to standing and…

8 months!

Isaac turned 8 months the day before Christmas Eve, so I’m just now getting around to writing this after all the holiday hubbub is well over. Chris and I are really enjoying seeing Isaac’s little personality bubble through more and more every day.  And bubbly, he is!  He’s such a sweet, happy little guy.  He…

Merry Christmas!

Emily left yesterday, Mom left this morning, and I’m sitting here feeling just a little bit sad that our Christmas holiday is over :(.  Okay, maybe a lot sad.  It was so nice to have everyone here! I wish Isaac could see his grandmother and aunts and uncles more than once or twice a year.…
