Happy Birthday Isaac

Isaac had a great first birthday! Filled with presents, a trip to Madison and Noodles n Company and a fun party with pizza and of course chocolate cake!

Well, what's this.. I got some mail!!!

Probably the only year he will enjoy getting cards!

B-Day present from us.. throw balls into his pack n play and you got  and instant ball pit!

It's my birthday and I will watch TV while you try to take pictures of me if I want to!

The smartest one year old ever?

You really think that fire is gonna keep me away from that chocolate!

Can't hardly wait to dig in!

Hmmmm.... do I like this???

Yup... I think it tastes pretty good!

Gotta take a few more bites just to make sure!

Birthday's are officially FUN!

Cleaning up!

Taking a birthday phone call!

All kinds of fun

First taste of pizza.... LOVED IT!

Borrowed Grace's clothes and actually pulled off the look quite well!

We got our first snow last week... I think we might need to get him a bigger snowsuit for the winter

Tickle Monster!

Before his first haircut

AFTER! He sat so nice for the cut and flirted with his hair stylist!

Soup is Funny!

We were enjoying some homemade chicken noddle soup tonight with Isaac at the table with us. All the sudden he would burst out in a big belly laugh every so often and we couldn't figure out why... turns out he thinks slurping soup is hilarious!

Here we go again!

...because one kid wasn't intense enough for us! I know this old news by now, but I'm making it blog official... we do have another one on the way, expecting in May! So far this pregnancy has been fairly intense... alot more "acting" on my nausea this time around. Baby loves prime rib and salad, and his dislikes to mexican food! So weird since I'm normally I'm obsessed with Mexican and would rather eat a pile of dirt than a salad. We find out if the baby is a boy or girl in December!

Also, as you can see from the picture below, things pop out a lot faster when you only wait 9 months in between babies. 

Halloween Recap

Our "Pumpkin Family" We even carved Isaac's pumpkin to represent his teeth at the moment!

11 months

Little guy turned 11 months last week! Gearing up for that first birthday!!! He had a rough 11 month birthday. He spiked a fever that got very high, had a febrile seizure and we spent all night in the ER trying to figure out what was wrong with him. They never did find anything with all the tests they ran so figured it was either teething or a viral infection. It was very scary, but the doctors assured us this happens to 2-5percent of kids when their fever spikes, and most likely will never happen again. Ever since recovering, he has been just a hoot! He is on the verge of standing by himself and talks and talks and squeals and talks all the time! Also, he has a new habit of sleeping in til 10am everyday. His stay at home Daddy has him trained very well. I wish I could get 14 hours of sleep every night!

  I have been really bad about taking pictures lately, but here a few from the past week and then some.

Isaac 10 months old

I'm catching up on posting some pictures. Here is what Isaac has been up to the 10th month of his awesome life. He is now 29 inches and about 20 lbs. He has started army crawling, jabbering all the time and eating a lot of real people food. Looking forward to getting rid of bottles and baby food very soon!

Chillin by the lake in Madison

Watching football with daddy - taken week one- they aren't really smiling about the Eagles anymore.

Awww

First time eating mac and cheese... he face say's otherwise, but he really liked it.

Andrew got sick of him and kicked him off the couch.
