His new toy from Brad and Amy. He was more interested with the buttons and cars than with riding it around.

And this is the first birthday cupcake. He thought it was really weird when everyone was singing to him and then when we set the cupcake in front of him it took him a few seconds to decide what he was going to do with it. I gave him a taste of the frosting on my finger then he went for it and devoured it.

The fact that he is 1 today is pretty amazing. In the past year he's gone from a baby I didn't know to a baby I often wished I didn't know (sorry it's true) to a baby that I'm excited to get to hang out with everyday! The first 7 months were HORRIBLE and so SLOW! But since he decided to be a bit independent the time has gone so fast and he has just been a delight. I love to watch him play and discover things. He is walking like a pro now and it's just the cutest thing to watch him toddle around. He is such a big boy!

He has 3 teeth now and is working on three more at the moment. He loves Ray Ray and Daddy and Mommy and his friends. He likes to give hugs and cuddles. He quit nursing cold turkey a month ago and is just a big boy using sippy cups now. He loves his books and will have me read the same one over and over. He loves to skype with Pop Pop. He loves my phone. He likes swings. He is so sweet.

He got several fun presents from friends and family. We got him a bucket swing that we are going to hang on the tree in the back yard, a blowup pool for the summer, and a fun movie that we want him to have. He doesn't watch movies yet but we hope he likes this one when he does start watching them.

We love Isaac so much and our life wouldn't be complete without him. He is such a sweet boy. And he's 1 today! Happy Birthday Baby Boy!
