Isaac turns 3!

Happy Birthday, Isaac! 

We can't believe you are three already!  I was induced on my due date, 3/10/08 and thought he was going to be a girl named "Olivia".  The labor went well and relatively quick.  He was born at 3:20 in the afternoon.  When Dr. Jones announced "it's a boy!"  I was thrilled and shocked!  Isaac weighed 8 lb. 1 oz. and had fat little cheeks. 

That is why I love the anticipation of not knowing the gender during the pregnancy.  It is SO exciting to find out after all the work, stress and exhaustion of labor.  It makes it all worth it!  

Taylor helped pick the name "Isaac".  I was leaning towards other names, but he really wanted it.  Now we think it fits him perfectly, and he goes by "Zeek" and "Little Toot".



 Isaac was a sweet, happy and mellow little baby.  He was loved by his older brother and sister right from the start!



He has a contagious smile and laugh, and constantly keeps other laughing at the funny things he does and says.

Isaac's bright blue eyes, and  blonde hair make him look so different from T & E.  He has always been smaller and shorter than the other kids, but is catching up now- thanks to unlimited whole milk, lots of butter and ice cream on demand. He definately has his own look.   

Isaac has a stubborn almost feisty personality.  He likes to do things on his terms and wants things to be done his way.  He's a smart, chatty, fun boy who is willing to try new things.  He is talking and asking questions constantly.   He's adventurous and daring, but not crazy or scary where we have to worry about him being safe.   His favorite things right now are: playing with cars and trains, riding his bike, doing playdoh, playing outside, playing anything with Taylor or Emily and wresting with dad. 

Isaac LOVES playing with Emily and her friends.  They baby him and carry him around, and let him play in their games.  Sometimes they even let him dress up like a girl!  This has stopped recently because Goofy Grandpa told him "boys don't wear dresses, crowns, jewelery or makeup, and you are a BOY!"  Isaac repeats that often, he doesn't want to disappoint Goofy grandpa!

Isaac is a wonderful son, full of personality.  We know he will make a great big brother!

You have brought so much joy and laughter into our family!
We love you little toot!
