More pictures!

Time is just flying! I felt bad that I hadn't sent out pictures last time, and resolved to do better, but I think this is as good as it's going to be for a while. And while I wish I really did send pictures more often, I somehow don't feel so bad. I'm really just enjoying my little baby . . . who, by the way, isn't so very little any more! So here are the pictures from December, January, and February.

In December we had his birthday (those pictures will come later), followed by a "mini surprise party" at Uncle Mark and Aunt Janae's house. It was really cute. They hung ribbon from the ceiling and an 8.5x11 sign on the wall. But you'll see it. We took the last of the first year penguin pictures (but we're thinking we'll do it about every 3 months until he stops changing so much!). Then, of course, there was Christmas! What fun to have a 1-year-old at Christmas! We got to see Carlos's cousins who are currently living in Indonesia. They have a daughter one month older than Isaac, so it was fun to watch them interact!

In January we went to Larissa's birthday party (Larissa is Isaac's 4-year-old cousin). Her birthday party was at 7-Acre-Wood, which is a really great place to have a kid's birthday party! Isaac was too nervous for the pony ride, but really enjoyed seeing (not touching) the animals in the petting zoo, and playing on the playground equipment. This mama didn't know how hard it was going to be to let go of her baby at the top of the slide! He enjoyed it tremendously, though! Other than that, I just took a few opportunities to take snapshots of daily life!

Right now I only have a few February pictures, and they're mainly just Isaac sleeping or playing. He's really getting into books lately. He's enjoyed them before, but he keeps bringing them to me and wanting to read them over and over. Fun stuff! I don't have pictures of this, but we did go to story time at the library once, and he really enjoyed that. He loved watching all the other kids (most of them were a good bit older than him), and one of the older girls told me (more than once) "You have a baby!" She seemed pretty excited to see a new baby in the room!

Isaac is now walking really, really well, and loves to play outside on the slide and swing. He's not sure about the trampoline, yet. Having the floor move under you is pretty intimidating! He loves to watch Lillie jump, though! He's also going through a growth spurt lately, and I can't feed him quite enough! I think he literally eats all day!

Enjoy the pictures! I'll try to post more often, but if you don't hear from me, just know that somewhere, Isaac and his parents are just enjoying each other! LOL!!!
