Turning Two

Isaac turned two on August 26. He now measures 3' 1" high and weighs almost 32 pounds. As he says, "I am a big boy."

Striking a serious pose on the zoo train.

Trying to get him to stand still at the Shakespeare Garden.

"O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth..."

Polishing it off

High Flying

Isaac has been obsessed with kites ever since he saw some kids flying them at the park about a month ago. Today he finally got a chance to try his hand at it (with a little help from Ry).

Kickin' It with the Seeleys

We spent a nice long weekend with the Seeleys in Camp Sherman at Lake Creek Lodge. Highly recommended.

Isaac hanging by the pool with Kate, one of the two times all weekend he sat still.

Enthralled with Luke's reading of "Wocket in My Pocket", the second time he sat still all weekend.

Adoring "Goe-dy."

Charming me by leaving the daisy I put behind his ear long enough to get a picture.

Burning off birthdays

After attending three kid birthday parties this weekend (seriously, is December the most fertile month?), we decided to round out the weekend with a hike in Tryon Creek Park.

Isaac was very interested in reading all the signs on this walk and had strong feelings about the direction we should take.

Apparently, he now wants to climb anything he sees, including bridges.

Most of our hiking pictures of Isaac look like this. He is a bit of a blur until he bites it.

Sweaty Somersault

It is no wonder we don't post more videos - this clip took forever to get off my iphone, on to youtube, and then onto blogger. I am exhausted, just like Isaac after rolling up and down the hill. Enjoy : )

Friends

This summer has been a great one for Isaac to play with his pals. I have so much fun seeing him play with other little ones that most of the time I forget to take any pictures, but here are a few recent snaps of him hanging with his peeps.

Hugging/Wrestling with neighbor Julian.

Chatting up Eleanor at Woodstock Park.
