Belated Happy Birthday Isaac!!!

Yesterday was Isaac's First Birthday! I can't believe that it has already been a year! What a difference a year makes, so much has happened: Isaac has 5 teeth with more itching to come through, is almost running through the house, and is starting to talk. Yikes!!!

Here are just a few pictures that I found on Jenn's computer -

This is an apple in his hands. He LOVES to just chew on a whole apple. It will keep him quiet for longer than pretty much anything else!

"I... Hate... This... Thing...!"

Happy Birthday to Isaac - my sweet boy, full of laughter

Yet Another One!?!

On Saturday Christian lost yet another tooth! That is the third tooth in the last month! Will he have any teeth left to eat with? This totals 5 baby teeth out of his head and new adult teeth in their place... This time he pulled it all by himself. He was complaining that it was bugging him all morning, and so he sat down on the couch with a tissue and asked me to sit with him. He squeezed my hand and after the 3rd try, out it popped! He looked shocked as he held this little tooth in his hand, blood in his mouth. Eventually, he remembered the Tooth Fairy and what might come to him, and that his pronunciation of Mississippi became more like "sississiti". Then all pain was forgetten and Happy Christian returned!

Sharing

You know when your baby "shares" food with you and you pretend to take a bite, saying, "Yum, Yum!!!" And then you give it back with the intention that they will now eat it? Well, my friend Jessica was doing that with Isaac and his juice cup today at lunch and instead of drinking it, he "pretended" to drink it! Smacking his lips and then handing it back to her just to do it all over again!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

Today is my Mom's birthday! I will not say how young she is but... So in honor of her birthday, Jakob and I went into her work and sang her "Happy Birthday". It was a fun way to celebrate my mom and my boys' Grandma!

We Love You, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Isaac's Buddy

Isaac's Buddy is Christian's friend, Trenton's dad. His name is John and Isaac just loves him! Here are just a few pictures of Isaac and his buddy, John.

Isaac found this ball and decided that it was his to chew on and then use to "pat-pat" John with!

Another One!!!

BEFORE: (note top teeth)

AFTER: (something missing?)

Christian has finally lost his other top tooth! Just a couple weeks ago, he lost his first top tooth. Immediately following, 2 other teeth began to be loose. Today, Chris was walking on the ceiling with the help of his dad, and on his way down, bonked Daddy's knee. It didn't completely knock it out, but Chris pulled it out the rest of the way and - WAHLAH - there it is!

Fall Rocks!

I was inside getting SOMETHING done, Isaac was sleeping and I hear the joyful sounds of my boys laughing and playing well together. I peek out the kitchen window to see them covering each other up with the leaves from the maple. Thinking, "Photo opportunity?" , I grab my camera and go out to take the following pictures...

When Isaac woke up we took him out there to try to get a "all of mommies boys" shot... He didn't know exactly what to think of the slightly cold and wet leaves, but decided that he didn't like it!

My attempt with all 3 didn't get rave reviews...

YEEEEHAAAA!!!

I HAVE A COMPUTER AGAIN!!! I am so excited to have a computer that works again! For the last few weeks I have been using M&D's laptop, which was awesome, but I now have my own computer back and working better than ever! Praise the LORD!!!
