Happy 1st Birthday Isaac


So Isaac turned one yesterday. We had such a hard time trying to decide what to get him. What do you get the fourth boy in the family for his 1st birthday? I asked for advice on Facebook and here are a few of the suggestions: a puppy, kitten, wrap something up that we already have, or lego. We chose a ride on quad that has lots of buttons and makes quad sounds. Not sure who was the most excited about it. I've had to set the timer on the oven for two minute intervals so the boys can take turns.
Isaac at one:
  • weighs 28 pounds and is (fill in later) inches long
  • already has had one haircut and is due for another
  • has flown to NS twice already. Lucky boy!
  • has mastered crawling and now pulls himself up against chairs, tables, toys etc.
  • doesn't seem to eager to start walking as of yet
  • still has two naps a day 9am and 1pm.
  • goes to bed at 7:30 and sleeps until 7:30-8ish. Awesome!
  • Eats anything and everything that I give him.
  • Wears his sleepsac when he naps and goes to bed and snuggles his soft blankie.
  • When he's tired he sucks on his index finger and plays with his blankie.
  • he still is quite the snuggle bear which I love. We had some great bonding time a few weeks ago when we flew to NS
  • he is so content and will have naps here, there and everywhere.
  • he never plays strange with anyone but can give people quite the staredowns without cracking a smile
  • but when he does smile LOOK OUT! what a handsome little boy and charmer with his twinkly eyes, big smile and big cheeks.
  • he wants to be with his brothers all of the time lately. If they leave the room he crawls as fast as he can to follow them.
  • only says "mamamama" and "dadadadadadadada" so far.
  • loves swimming and having baths.
  • wears size 2 clothing already
  • has a bit of a temper which I witnessed the other day. Sam took a toy away from him that he was playing with and Isaac started hollaring, crying and banging his fists on the floor. Things are about to start getting even more interesting in this household.

Well that about sums up where we are at with Isaac at one. We love our little boy to pieces and love how he fits into the family so perfectly! We can't/can wait to see how he grows and how his personality develops. We can't wait to see what his relationships are like with his brothers. We love you Baby Isaac, Happy Birthday!
