Isaac ~ ONE Already?!

Our Littlest Love turned ONE yesterday. 
He's healthy and thriving:
Length - 31" = 75th percentile
Weight - 23 lbs. 8 oz. = 75th percentile
Head = 19' = 90th percentile
We had a fun celebration last night...complete with the cake smashing fun.
 He wasn't sure what to think about the sweet treat.
 As a matter of fact, he wanted NOTHING to do with it.
 SERIOUSLY...he was trying to say,
"DON'T MAKE ME TOUCH IT!"
With cheers from several onlookers, he still didn't want to play along!

Okay fine, I'll try some frosting!
 Still not convinced...
 "Can I please just get out of here?!"
 Here's the big cake...that his big sister helped decorate.
 Besides the face that his face looks inflated in this picture, you can see his shiner.
The coffee table had no mercy on our new walker.
 Clearly, Grandma is preferred over cake!!!
 Grandma and Grandpa Hillary
 "Grandma and Grandpa" Treinen...
who stopped over just in time for cake and ice cream.
 Opening presents with the help of his big sister...
who was far more excited about the process than he was.
 This was the toy that Clare picked out, and wrapped, for Isaac.
It was neat watching her excitement as she "gave" her first gift.  :)
It goes without saying, but I can't believe that my little baby is already a year old.  Now that he's walking, I can hardly call him a baby anymore.  Right?  That means I have two toddlers, and I can hardly call Clare (who's about ready to start preschool) a toddler anymore.  SLOW DOWN TIME!
Isaac is...
- Sweet and Sensitive
(He smiles and flirts all day long, BUT he cries if we "scold" him or tell him "No!")
- Walking
(He started walking on Halloween, and now he spends more time walking than crawling)
- Teething...ALWAYS
(He has 12 teeth...with the bottom two eye teeth about ready to break through)
- A Good Eater
(He LOVES Macaroni and Cheese, Grapes, Raisins, and Cheese)
- Still Nursing
(I haven't weaned yet, but we're starting to decrease his nursings)
- Enamored with Clare
(He follows her around, imitates her play, and laughs at her antics)
- Pure JOY!
(We love having a son, and Isaac brings us daily JOY!)

Happy birthday, Isaac! I know it goes without saying, but I think you just posted the "It's a boy" in your blue shirt yesterday!
I love that your kids' grandparents make such an effort to get down to you as often as they do. I'm not surprised, just think it's such a blessing for all of you! Also, have to say that the pic of Phil's mom with Isaac needs to be in a frame:-)
