Isaac is 1!!!!!

Oh, be still my heart! Our little baby, Isaac is one year old today. How? It's seems as if I had just learned I was pregnant and would be having a new little one in just a few weeks. My "shortest" and probably best pregnancy ever resulted in this precious little boy joining our family. And what a gift of laughter he has been throughout.


As his name says, Isaac loves to laugh! And he has the best laugh. I can't even describe it, it's just beautiful and completely his. He loves silliness and goofiness and just having fun. James can always make him laugh with his crazy antics. He makes himself laugh by shaking his head or other silly games. He loves his tickles too.

This big boy started crawling before 6 months and has had one foot ready to walk since then. This week he has been taking a few steps here and there and his crawl now looks more like a gorilla. Isaac loves to go and wants to play with the big boys. He is also getting good at climbing and is ready to tackle the playground as soon as he can walk.


With all of this exploring, Isaac is into everything. Currently, bookshelves are his favorite, much to my chagrin. But he is also learning to bring things to me and carry what he needs.

Isaac was such an amazing gift to our family during a time of great trial, stress and transition and I'm so thankful God has giving him to us for this time.

Father, Thank You for Isaac and is precious life. Begin stirring his heart now for You, that he may see his sin at a young age, repent and receive Your amazing grace in Jesus. May he bring You glory all the days of his life. Make him a man after Your own heart. In Jesus Name, Amen
