Apparently, It Gets Pretty Cold Here in the Winter

ZZZZ

Isaac’s Par-tay!

It’s done! My sweet baby is one! (Haha. Rhyme!)

(Check out that goose-egg! He fell and hit his head on the corner of the wall about 10 minutes before Brian got home!)

Joseph and I made a yellow cake with chocolate frosting (why no Rainbow Chip, New Jersey? WHY??!!)

and we spent the afternoon doing the usual things.

For dinner I served Turkey Noodle Soup, homemade rye bread, and saltine crackers- Isaac’s favorite dinner! (Just kidding. I had turkey that I needed to use up!)

We gave him a walker wagon- and I could barely get a picture of him pushing it because he was racing around so fast squealing and laughing!!

When it got away from him, (ahem, Joseph took it!), he did what any man would do- he hiked up his pants and went after it!

Then it was hat time

and cake time!

(One of my favorite pictures ever)

When it comes to cake, homeboy doesn’t mess AROUND!

I love him so much.

PS: Waaaah! I can’t believe he is one! Where is my Baby?!

(Quick, someone remind me of the sleepless nights before I do something rash!)

Dear Isaac,

You have been such a joy to us this past year.

We simply adore you!

You are just what this family needed- happy, smiley, bubbly, easy going…delightful!

You learned to sit up in Idaho, to crawl in Manhattan, to walk in New Jersey, and to run in Oregon. What a year you’ve had, baby!

I love that you wake up the morning with a smile and squeal.

I love that you smile and reach for strangers (even homeless people on subways!)

I love that in these photos your pants are unbuttoned to make room for your belly (sweatpants are pretty much all you can wear) and that your thick baby body is just bustin’ out of that 12-18 month top.

I love that you are so curious and such a go-getter that I had to hold you down to get a lot of these pictures.
