Isaac is ONE!!!!!!!

October 9th was Isaac's 1st birthday!!! R took the day off so we could all be together! We went into Isaac's room at 8am singing 'Happy Birthday'. He looked at us curiously! After breakfast we gave him his present from us. He thought the wrapping was cool and proceeded to push the box over and then push it around on the floor. We pretty much had to unwrap it for him! We tried pulling a little bit of the paper up for him to tear it and he just couldn't quite understand what we were getting at!!! But the tool bench was a good choice! He played with it off and on all day long!

Just before bed, Daddy finally agreed to a haircut! Isaac sat still as long as he had a comb of his own to hold onto! Daddy entertained him while I cut away! I only trimmed the front part that had gotten so long! It's still curly and adorable, but now it's all uniform!

Here's the handsome, strong boy sporting his new do!


On Saturday we had Isaac's birthday party! R's family and my aunt and uncle came to celebrate with us! Isaac LOVED being the center of attention! He simply ate it up! I made blueberry cupcakes completely without sugar! And they even tasted good! Smile. Isaac liked them and everyone else said they did! Tee hee!

Isaac was a good boy all day and spent most of the time walking back and forth with his little musical walker. It makes music when you push it! He loved all the cheers and affirmations and even learned how to turn himself around and head back the other way! Me thinks he'll be walking without assistance in no time!

One year with our little boy...it went by so fast! On the one hand it feels like he has always been with us and on the other hand it's hard to believe so much time has passed already! What a priviledge to be Isaac's Mommy! Motherhood is by far the most difficult, demanding life I have ever known. However, the blessings are beyond compare!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Isaac! Mommy is so very proud of you and loves you more than words can describe!!!!!
