Isaac is One!

Our little Austrian-born, red head Isaac is 1 today!

It's crazy how fast time has seemed to fly by since his birth! We’re definitely in the season where ‘the days are long, but the years are short’!

He hasn't said much, but I think he had a pretty great year.  He got to visit the USA, Slovakia, Hungary, Italy, Germany, and Portugal.  He was blessed by the Pope.  He loves his big sister and brother.  Mom and Dad too.  He can say "mom"/"mama" and does so more frequently than he says "dada" - which is a first for my kids!  He has 8 teeth.  He can stand on his own but can't walk yet.  We just started dressing him in clothes other than pajamas and he seems to like that.  He says "ahhhhhhhhh" a lot.  He can shake his head back and forth like he's saying "no" and makes everyone laugh doing so.  He loves to dance and will start bouncing up and down and moving his head anytime he hears a song.  He hasn't started slap-dancing yet.

We started his birthday celebration early this morning and by 9am we were done with cake and ice cream, and he was down for his morning nap!

We tried to get some early Mother's Day pictures with me and the 3 kids... well that proved nearly impossible!  But I sure am grateful for these 3 sweet blessings!!! and the guy stuck taking all the photos :)

We went to noon Mass, where Isaac screamed out his intention during the "moment of silence" for our own private intentions!  Then Isaac took his afternoon nap.  After that we took him out to his favorite pizza place, Chez Pierre, for drinks, dinner, and dessert =)

Happy Birthday, Isaac!!  We all love you so much!!!
