Playtime with baby Danielle

Playtime is so serious...

...and so exhausting.

Hmm, you look familiar. Didn't we just play together for three hours?

An Easter weekend visit from Grandma, Marie and Stacie

Peeking through the dining room chair

Grandma brought Isaac some fun new toys (trucks and trains, just the right size for tasting)

It was great having 3 extra pairs of hands helping with Isaac this weekend!

Aunt Stacie is super-fun!

I see you

He's having fun, don't ya think?


An Easter picture with Grandma

Baby's first Easter

Good morning, little Easter bunny!

His Easter basket was full of all kinds of fun things...

...like a bunny...

...and a basketball. It's just the right size that he can palm it (Dad is so proud!).

Waiting in line to see the Easter Bunny

Is it my turn yet?

Hooray for the Easter bunny!

Our little Easter cutie

All dressed up in our Easter best!

Our most recent family portrait

Coloring Easter eggs

Read us the instructions, Marie!

Stacie's showing us how it's done.

It takes a lot of brains to figure this out...


...but here's the finished product (with some daffodils from our yard).

Weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's - March 14-16, 2008

Isaac had a lot of fun with our Virginia family this weekend. He and Mom went for a baby shower for our friends Angela and John, who are having a baby in June. (Dad was on a golfing weekend in Pinehurst.)

Grandpa let's him climb all over him

Hanging out with Grandma is very fun

Peek-a-boo (with MamMaw Hill, and Ernie Barker in the background)


It was John's birthday, so the waiters sang "Feliz Cumpleanos" at La Carreta as Angela looked on.

Isaac and John are good buddies.

"The Godfather" baby

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."


"I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart."

His new, ridiculously-happy, over-the-top smile!

He scrunches up his shoulders and wrinkles his nose, and makes us laugh out loud...we may be in trouble when he realizes that this will get him whatever he wants!

Our little Baylor baby!

Sharing germs

Maybe this is why we all get sick when Isaac gets sick...

Crawling is so overrated!

He doesn't really get the whole crawling concept -
it's more of a grunting, face-planting kind of thing...

Trying to walk (Mommy's helping)

Baby's first March Madness

We are brain-washing - er, teaching - him early! (He seems okay with it...)

An emerging thespian...

Show me: happy!

Show me: surprised!

Okay, now super-duper happy
(note the nose-wrinkle, really completes the look)

Grammie's visit - February 16-20

We didn't get many pictures with Grammie - she was behind the camera most of the time!

"Are you talking to me?" Just one of many new little attitude looks of his!


Cuddling up with a blanket from Great-MamMaw Parish (maternal great-grandmother).


This is Kindermusik - Isaac and his baby buddies bounce and sing and wiggle around in time (sort of) to the music. The theme for this session is "Cockadoodle-Moo" (animal songs). He loved this little piggy. Ms. Meredith was very patient with him - I think he wanted to keep it!


Totally exhausted after Kindermusik (he was asleep before we left the parking lot!)

Bathtime fun

He got this new inflatable ducky that he can sit in during his bathtime - it quacks, and he really loves it!

We just couldn't resist the bath-time faux-hawk (his hair is getting really long)

Faux-hawk, from the side

Chew with your mouth closed!

He has started smacking his mouth while he's eating - not real sure why...

Worn out

It was just too hard to choose between eating and sleeping, so he fell asleep while he was eating!

Sir Squirms-a-lot

This makes me laugh every time I watch it - so I thought I'd share.

His "See How Cute I Am" looks

He uses this look a lot.

This one is also very effective.
