Isaac's First Birthday - Part 2

Isaac's party-theme was Dr. Seuss...

One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
(jello jigglers)

The cake - the Cat in the Hat's hat!

Listening to the birthday song (he sat there with this dazed look on his face)

So happy!

Thing 1 and Thing 2

Opening presents

our own little Thing One...

Grammie gave Isaac a slide/swing playset and he LOVES it!

Cousin Tirzah pushing Isaac on the swing!

He really loves that swing!

Isaac's first birthday

We had the youth group over on Isaac's birthday, and he ate the whole cupcake by himself - LOVED it!

Sam and Anna - two of Isaac's favorite youth group members!

July 4th in Virginia

4th of July t-shirt (baseballs and bats - he's his father's son!)

Isaac and Ernie are good buddies - they played a game where Isaac would put his hand on Ernie's, and then Ernie would slide his hand back on top of Isaac's, and they would keep going back and forth.

Riding on the tractor with Grandpa

Isaac loves his grandma...

...AND he loves his grandpa!

Grandpa's teaching Isaac about the guitar...

Isaac loved MamMaw Mac's walker - he bogarted it throughout the weekend!

A day at the park...

Tuesday was such a beautiful day that we went to Burlington City Park to ride the rides and play on the playground. These first few pics are on the train...

...SO excited!

The carousel - he wasn't real sure about this one.

He LOVED the swing, though...

...so very tired now.

Aunt Stacie is an honorary aunt to Isaac and Tirzah, but on Wednesday she became an aunt in the flesh! Check out her blog for pictures of Briley Grace, the newest addition to the next generation of the Gate City folks!

The website is www.alifeofphotographs.blogspot.com or you can click on the link on the left of this website (the link is called "a life of photographs - Aunt Stacie").

Harvard, here we come!

Dad would slap his hand on the chair a certain number of times, and then Isaac would do it, too. They did it for a long time - and then he repeated the trick tonight at dinner. We're planning to include this in his college admissions application...

At Mom's graduation at Duke

On Saturday night, Isaac went with Dad, Grammie, and Aunt Jess to watch Mom graduate from Duke. It was a really long ceremony, but he made it halfway through before Grammie had to take him for a walk outside! Luckily, it was a beautiful evening...

Umm, is he crawling away from the chapel? Maybe he's crawling "toward his future"!

Always time for tickling and cuddling!

Any suggestions?

So, every morning we come into Isaac's room and one or more limbs is stuck between the slats of his crib. His thighs are just chubby enough and his muscles are just not strong enough to extract himself! We can't put the bumpers back in because he can stand up now, and might use them to climb out. Any suggestions on how to help him quit it?

Baby's first Cinco de Mayo

We went to baby Danielle's for Cinco de Mayo - Isaac had a great time...

...maybe a little too much!

A night out with friends

We went to Winston-Salem to visit with our friends Chris, Natalie, and Cam who live in Mt. Airy. It was Isaac's first-ever kids' meal at Moe's Southwest Grill (he had a tofu burrito - tofu because he hadn't had meat yet, and he really seemed to like it!)
