Party ideas

So I decided that this year, Isaac will have a woodland friends themed party. Complete with owls, raccoons, hedgehogs and such. I have had the hardest time finding anything already made, so it looks like I'll be creating everything myself, which will be allot of fun! I'm just not quite sure when I'll have the time. Looks like I'll be having a few late nights soon. . .

These are a few ideas that I found online that I'm going to try and recreate, with a little help of course.

Less than a month away. . .

So it slapped me like a wooden spoon to the face, that Isaac's birthday is less than a month away.

A little puppy love

This morning, Caitlin and I went to visit some gorgeous puppies. A friend of mine let me know last week that his dog had had a litter, and we were more than welcome to bring Isaac up there to play with them.

They're English Mastiff pups, which will soon be much bigger than him, but for now, Isaac had a blast! It was hard not to fall in love with all of them, they're just so sweet! They were very loving and loved to explore everything, and they loved to taste things, like fingers or toes! Ouch, puppy teeth are like little needles, luckily they didn't want to taste Isaac!

Beautiful Boy

I've been really wanting to take some pictures of Isaac with a sunset behind him. However, since the sun has been setting after he's gone to bed, it has yet to become a reality. Tonight's impromptu photo shoot is the best I'm gonna get.... for now anyway.

Wonderful

This morning is a little bit of a sad morning. It's the first day that Isaac and I woke up with the whole house to ourselves, in a while. But I suppose all good things must eventually come to an end.

We just had a simply wonderful visit from Michael's parents, and at the end of the week, his sister Julie and her baby girl came to join in the fun!

The ten days that they were here just flew by! Our days were filled with lots of love, and even more laughter (mostly by Isaac). Each morning Isaac and I had breakfast with Baba, this morning Isaac kept looking over my shoulder for her saying, "Baba, Baba Baba Baba". After that, and sometimes throughout the day, he would crawl up into Gigi's lap and drag a book with him each time. I'm pretty sure that Gigi read each of Isaac's books, at least a hundred times!

We were blessed with incredible weather, which made beach days a blast for everyone. I only wish we had made it to Menemsha for a sunset. . . Oh well, there's always next time!

This one's for Gigi

Ready, Set. . . AND...... he's off!!

This morning after a few days of suggestion and a little coaxing, from his Gigi (Isaac's grandpa on Michael's side) Isaac started walking this morning! Until today, he hasn't really shown much interest in it at all.

Well, not since he started doing the ol' furniture cruise when he was seven months old. After that, he went back to a good, steady, extremely fast crawl.

Poor little guy, we need a larger space for him! He could only take a few steps, then bump, into the speed bump, a few steps, bump into the wall, a few steps, bump, into the fridge. It was like watching a one man bumper car show!

** I'll try to post the video as well as pictures, but it's a little long, so that takes forever to upload. **
