Birthday Boy part 2

We had Isaac’s birthday party in the middle of May, so it ended up being rather pleasant weather, which was nice since we had planned on a barbecue and didn’t really have a backup plan! He always loves having his good friends and “all their mommies and daddies” over :). He was so darn excited about…

Rockets!

Aunt Natalie sent Isaac the coolest birthday gift: A stomp rocket! It was huge hit, and we spent hours that evening in the driveway playing with it.   Telling Mommy all about how he’s going to fly into space in a rocket one day when he’s bigger… …And we’re done with pictures, haha.  You can…

Mid-week birthdays are always pretty quiet, but luckily we had great weather on Isaac’s actual birthday, so he was able to enjoy his new birthday scooter! And of course, we had cake! The only thing Isaac asked for for his birthday was chocolate cake :).   Aunt Rachel came to help us celebrate.   And…

Three Years Old

I’m ridiculously late posting this, but better late than never, right?  Isaac turned three April 23rd. Here’s a little interview with the birthday boy, from back in April: What’s your favorite color?  Orange (It’s been orange since he was old enough to know his colors, but he loves brown almost as much) What’s your favorite food?…

Happy 2nd Birthday Isaac!

I have another big post that will follow this one, describing Isaac’s personality and new achievements now that he’s two years old.  For now though, enjoy the pictures! A (very much out-of-focus) video of us singing to the birthday boy: Isaac couldn’t have had more fun at his party!  He played HARD, stayed up past…

Isaac’s actual birthday was a bit rainy, so we headed to the mall for a special treat for the birthday boy – a train ride! First, we had lunch at Nando’s Peri Peri: Then, it was train time! That evening, we had a birthday dinner for the little guy, with his first ever dessert on…

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.…

Best. birthday. EVER.

I was in heaven the moment I laid eyes on him yesterday. We only had 4 hours together, but it was the best four hours I could have imagined.  He just ate and slept in my arms (and we changed a couple diapers), and he was just the happiest baby ever.  As long as he’s…
