our little baby boy is one year old! i cannot fathom how quickly this year has gone. it seems just yesterday, we were in the hospital, he was jaundice, i had low iron, he was nursing like a mad man, and he was so little...now...he tries to keep up with his sister (and cousins...and the dog for that matter), he likes to splash in the dog's water bowl (we're working on that), he has a smile and snuggle that melt your heart every time, he likes to put things in and out, he loves his tools (hence the cake decor), he can climb stairs, crawl, walk, open cabinets, pull things out of any drawer he can get into, chase the vacuum, pull covers out of the outlets, and put anything and everything into his mouth! it's amazing to me how you can already see personality traits blossoming in one so little as well. our isaac is persistent, determined, not easily swayed or distracted. he's sweet, kind, strong yet gentle, curious, easy going, social, and always on the move. only he could spend part of our winter ER visit flirting with the nurses. only our izie-boy will chase the vacuum (while i'm using it...no matter how many times i move him) and try to climb on top of it. only my little snuggle buggle bear will nestle into my neck when it's naptime or bed time and play with my hair while i sing to him. he is such a blessing. before his birth, i remember that being prayed for our family...that isaac would be a blessing to us. he certainly is. thank You, God, for our little boy.
