With friends

At his friend Danielle's 1-year birthday party with his baby buddies.

A boy and his dog

Cuddle up!

They already look alike: everybody look left...

...now everybody look up...

...now everybody SMILE!!!

Two "Look What I Did" Moments...

Sitting up (sort of)

and holding his own bottle (sort of)

Our little blue-eyed boy

A few more pictures from Christmas...

Isaac may have a crush on his Aunt Stacie!

Hey, baby, what's your number?

Hanging out with Grandpa

"And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry - the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song." (a Veggie Tales video from Aunt Jess)


He loves his Daddy

Cousins - what a pair!

Tirzah and Isaac haven't seen each other since this summer, and they have both changed a lot! They don't seem to recognize each other right away...

...but there's nothing like opening presents together (and with Aunt Julia and Uncle Trevor) to make for a bonding experience!


They often cozied up to whichever aunt/uncle/mom/dad/grandpa/grandma was available for cuddling! (Dad/Uncle Garin is pictured here.)

Whatcha doin'?

Good buddies!

Baby's first Christmas, in Virginia

"All the Whos down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot."


Good morning, Grandpa!

On Christmas morning, first he opened his stocking...

...then, the PRESENTS!

Hmm, this looks tasty.

What a great-looking gift...

Peek-a-boo

Okay, enough opening presents...

...let's play with my new toys!


Christmas sure is exciting!

Baby's first Christmas, starting in Texas...

In his car, with Aunt Jess

Breakfast with the aunts

Visiting Uncle Tim at his house in Granbury

On Friday, Mom and Isaac went to Waco to visit friends Hutson Carruth Harper and his parents, Mike and Callie (friends from seminary). Hutson is 10 months old, and so cute - laughing and tumbling. It was a picture of what Isaac will be like in 5 months!

These are Grammie's dogs - Annabelle (brown) and Sydney (black). Isaac loved watching them run around the house.

Entranced by Grammie's Christmas tree

A Christmas picture with his best girls!

These snowmen danced and sang a song - he loved it!

Laughing with Great-MamMa and Great PapPa Parish

Laughing with the Muppets Christmas carols

In his jumper, laughing at Mom, with the "Muppets and John Denver Christmas Album" in the background.

Begin the Christmas festivities!

Helping Dad put up the Christmas tree.

After working hard on the tree, it's nice to relax...

Are any of theses for me?

I found one!

The best gift of all!

A family portrait, in front of a scenic wintry wonderland - Santa was out feeding his reindeer. (And, yes, Isaac is crying - it had been a long day...)

Redbird for dinner...

On his playard, eating the redbird and singing along to the music in his head!

Eating peas - warning: messy baby ahead!

The "before" picture...



...and the "after" picture!


Ahhh - all clean!

Baby Dedication, Sunday, November 25, 2007

Dad preached the sermon, and Isaac was very sweet throughout the service.

Family picture - with Grandma and Grandpa Hill, Mom, and Dad

By the end of the service, though, he was really tired and cranky.
