"1, 2, 3, Oh, Crap"

When I went to take pictures of Isaac, it seemed impossible to get him to hold still. Pictures are a lot harder to take now that he is so mobile. The minute I set him down, he is off to find things. I tried putting him on a little chair with a blanket over it, but he immediately wanted to see what was under the blanket. Then I tried putting him on the couch he kept on moving or trying to get off of it. Finally, I put him in our rocking chair; which he loves to rock in. But, he wouldn't smile. Whenever someone says, "Oh, crap!" He smiles his mischievous grins. I don't like teaching him that word or phrase, but as I was getting desperate to get a good picture I started saying it. That's when the smiles and poses started to roll in.

Isaac's 1st Birthday!!

This year has gone so fast. We can't believe that Isaac is already a year old! We took the weekend before his birthday and celebrated with everybody. At Grandpa and Grandma Womack's, he received a cement truck as his first present. After he opened it, Kyle couldn't get it out of the packaging fast enough for him. Isaac kept on trying to play with it before it was fully out! He also had his first taste of cake and ice cream, which he quickly decided he liked.

Grandpa and Grandma Evensen gave Isaac a push toy which he was scared of at first. After watching people move it around he decided he would give it a try. At first, he kept on trying to lean on it as he does with his walker toy. He quickly learned he couldn't lean on it, so he carefully put his arms straight out in front of him and within minutes he had it down! He's a quick learner!

Halloween

For Halloween, Isaac was a dinosaur. Isaac usually hates to wear hats of any kind, so I wasn't sure what he would do with the hood the costume came with. After I showed him what he looked like in the mirror, he let us put it on him without any hesitation! He actually giggled when we put it on him. We went to Melaleuca for his first trick-or-treating. At first, he just looked around and hesitated to grab any candy from the buckets. After we showed him what he was supposed to do, he immediately tried to take handfuls of candy! When Isaac took one piece of candy and put it into his bucket he would immediately try to get more. We didn't think that Kyle would be able to go through with us because he had to work, but when we got there they allowed him to take us through which was a lot of fun!
