Our numero 3 has turned uno!

I can't believe that my baby is one (and I'm not pregnant. I didn't have that luxury last time.......that's right. I HAVE MY BODY BACK. IT'S MINE.....ALL MINE and I will do with it what I want and ONLY have to answer to MEEEEEE! Crappy food. Here I come. Yeah right, like that stopped me before....) anyway, back to Isaac.....

So like I said before, Isaac has turned ONE. What a sweet baby he is. He is so mild tempered (although he is beginning to voice his opinion) and he makes us laugh constantly. Could there ever be a more handsome kid, either? We think there may not be. He is pretty dang cute. He has such a sense of humor. We named him wisely (Isaac means "he who laughs"). Come with us while we enjoy a recap of his life.

Okay, so after I put this slide show together I watched it (of course) and CRIED! That's right, Melanie does have feelings. I CRIED. Wow......our family has been through a LOT this year and poor Isaac was born right in the midst of it. He has dealt with a lot of stress and worry (because of his mother) in his short little life and done it with a smile. I remember one particular day, back when Isaac was just a few weeks old, that I had lost it. I had just screamed at the older boys and was feeling pretty lousy about it (especially because Isaac didn't even flinch at the volume of my voice....he must have been too used to it). I looked at him (while feeding) and said, "Don't worry. I will yell at you too some day." I always keep my promises. Sure enough, although he does not yet receive the full brunt of my mean mommyness, he does get scolded from time to time but it is really hard to stay mad for long. He either laughs at me or pulls the "sad bottom lip" routine and starts wailing. Tooooo cute. But always, in the end, he is smiling.

Here is a short video of him in all the glory of his quirkiness. He really is quite quirky (I wonder where he gets that from?)






*(Sorry about the resolution. If we make the picture any better the sound goes all crazy and makes the picture skip. We just can win but you get the idea of his personality anyway.)

So.....I realized that I didn't add any photos of his b-day on the slide show. Hello, McFly! So, instead, I got to have more fun making another slide show. Enjoy!

Did you notice a common theme in the pictures. The puppy. Isaac actually picked it out in the store and hadn't seen it for a few days. Once he unwrapped in, though, he would not let us take it from him for anything (but cake and ice cream. The boy likes his food.) He is seriously attached.

Oh Isaac. We love you and are so glad to have you with us.
