Boats and Birds

Isaac loves going to Grandma and Grandpa's since he gets to play with whatever he wants and there are so many fun toys there.  He was driving Grandpa's boat and helping Grandma fill up the bird feeder.

"Dad, can we get a boat?"

Computers, balls and teeter-totters

I think it is safe to say that Isaac is way too familiar with computers.  We decided to get Isaac his own computer so he would stop trying to play with ours.  It kind of worked.  He enjoys playing with his computer but he still tries to play with ours at times.  One of my favorite things that he does is dance to the music on his computer.  He will push the button, set it down and then dance in circles. 

 

Isaac was very into his computer at Mother's Day brunch.

 

Teeter-tottering with cousin Harmony.

Watching the birds with Grandma.

 

Bath time with Daddy. 

 

Isaac even gets to play basketball in the bath.

He has boats and ducks too.

Outside Fun!

The weather is finally getting nice so we have been enjoying some time outside.  If Isaac had his way, he would be outside all day every day.  He loves going to the park, taking wagon rides and playing with the soccer ball. He is starting to talk more and his personality is really starting to show.  I have a feeling that temper tantrums are just around the corner.  He now gets upset if you take something away from him or stop him from doing something (e.g., playing in the toilet - YUCK!).

 

I really like this age because he is starting to understand everything we are saying.  If I ask him to get his shoes or throw something away, he understands and will follow the directions (at least as of now).  As with everything else, I am sure that too will change. 

 

We have been practicing his basketball and soccer skills.  He loves to throw, kick and chase balls around the yard and sometimes in the house.  I will try to catch a video one of these days.

 

 

He picked out his own hat!

Isaac loves ice cream like his Daddy!

We were having a little trouble with his hat.  He has such a small head.

So strong.

Mowing the lawn with Grandpa!

Isaac is trying to replicate the sound of the lawn mower in this picture.

 

I took Isaac to the zoo the other day.  He was just getting over being sick so he was not his usual smiley self.

We went to the zoo with our friend Levi who is 8 months old.

Evelyn's Baptism Weekend

I know it has been a while since I have posted.  I got a new computer but for some reason, it was not letting me downtown more than one photo.  It is finally working now!  So here are a bunch of pictures.  Evelyn was baptized a few weeks ago and we had such a great time hanging out with family and celebrating her baptism.

The boys were building clapping and building towers in a box.

 

Adorable little girl.

The girls were having fun with each other.

Action shot!

Doing flips with Pa-Pa.

 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!!  We celebrated Easter in Madison this year.  Holidays have proven to not be the best for Isaac.  He had his first ear infection over Thanksgiving, the flu at Christmas and he got a black eye for Easter.  Let's hope this trend does not continue and that this is his first and only black eye!  Yeah right.  This child runs around like a crazy man.  I am sure there are more to come.  

As you will see in the pictures, I am pretty sure Isaac thought it was Christmas again based on the number of presents and toys he received.

Thanks for the sunglasses Grandma!

Shake, shake, shake!

One of many fun baskets.

Best attempt at a family photo.  Isaac no longer likes to sit still and smile for the camera.

Trying to walk away from the picture.

Isaac loves bubbles.  Good thing he got many bottles of them.

Great Grandpa

Yay, more crayons (for me to eat).  He has started to put them in his mouth to see our reaction.

Ta-da!

Easter egg hunt.  Isaac was really happy with just one egg.

Okay, maybe two.  He was fascinated with opening and closing them.
