Birthdays and Visits!!!

Aunt Tanya and Aunt Tara were in Madison this weekend!  We spent the weekend apple picking and celebrating birthdays (Aunt Tara, Andy and Hallie's).  It was such a treat to have Aunt Tanya visiting from Denver.  It is so fun to watch Isaac interact with his Aunts and Grandparents.  He is all about Grandpa (Papa) these days.  He wakes up asking for him and he starts saying Papa the minute we approach his house. 

Isaac is really starting to repeat words.  In the past few weeks, he has learned how to say pizza, hippo, Abby, people, apple pie, tick-tock, teeter-totter, shoe and big bird.  It is so fun to watch him learn. 

Cousin Kinsley Turns One!

 

We traveled to Iowa for Cousin Kinsley's first birthday party.  It was so fun to watch her walk around and play with all the cousins.  They are all growing up way too fast. 

Isaac was a great traveler.  Between sleeping and eating, we made it the entire way home without stopping!  He slept over 3.5 of the 4.5 hour drive.   

I thought I would share a few things Isaac is doing these days:

• climbing on everything, especially furniture
• starting two word phrases (e.g., buh-bye Daddy)
• pooped and peed on the potty (only once, we are not potty training yet)
• has had two haircuts
• can pick out letters A, B, D, I, M, O and P 
• loves Elmo
• he knows a decent number of animal sounds
• he has twelve teeth including the four one year molars

Here are a few pictures from the birthday party:

Cousin Fun!

We had fun playing at Mimi and Pa's house a few weeks ago.  Mary and Ava were in town so they came to West Bend to hang out and swim!  It was so fun to see the kids interact and listen to little Ava talk.  She has quite a vocabulary. 

  

Where are Isaac and Ava?



Here they are!  Isaac wanted to show his stomach like Ava.

Holding hands.

Isaac was pretty proud.

And did not want to let go.

Where is the pool?

Now this is the life.

Lego time.

Mimi has fun toys.

Time for a photo.  Now everyone sit still and smile.

Hey, not bad!

Until now. 

DON'T TOUCH!  The photo session was over pretty quick.
