Isaac is "Free"

This little guy is now 3...or as he calls it..."FREE!"

I know it is totally cliche to say that it feels like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital, but I really can't believe that he is already 3.

Until 4 weeks ago, he was still my baby.

Now he's the big boy.


Isaac has a great sense of humor, and he knows when he's being funny.   

He LOVES animals, and he has no fear (almost to a fault).

He enjoys being around people...especially Papa and Sissy.  

This was his first birthday present (a day early), and he was pretty pumped!

The birthday boy had fun with balloons decorating the house, McDonalds for breakfast (with Papa, Daddy, and Clare), Chick-Fil-A for lunch with the whole gang, and some special gifts from family.

Zip Track was the highlight of the day...and not just for the birthday boy.

The fact that we've already gone through three batteries indicates two things: the car has poor battery life, and the Zip Track has already provided hours of fun, entertainment, and creative play!

Isaac requested a Bob and Larry cake.  I've never bought a professional cake, and I didn't think that this was the time to start.  So, with my limited decorating prowess, this was Isaac's birthday cake.  

He certainly didn't mind that it looked kind of funny, and he consumed ample amounts of frosting to top off his fun-filled birthday.

He sang "Happy Birthday" to himself throughout the day, and I think it was an all-around great day for our little "free" year-old.
Big Boy:
38 lbs of solid BOY
40 inches tall
(Both of which are in the 90th - 95th percentile)

Isaac LOVES:
- Clare and Baby Myles
- Special outings with Papa
- Veggies Tales (Bob and Larry)
- The Elmo Show at Busch Gardens
- The Grover Coaster and Flume rides at Busch Gardens
- Telling Knock Knock Jokes
- Being Outside
- Animals of any kind
- Popsicles
- Apples (if he gets to eat the whole thing like a big boy)
- Noodles (particularly with butter and salt)
- Riding his bike
- Going to church (Sunday school class)
- Going to the park
- Puzzles
- Cars, Trucks, Trains
- Putting things together and taking them apart
- Cuddle Time
- Prayer Time (his prayers are the highlight of my day!)

Isaac Isn't Fond Of:
- Vegetables
- Pooping on the Potty
- Waiting
- Keeping his shoes on
- Bug Bites (he scratches them until they bleed and scar)
- Being so far away from family

I have such a soft spot in my heart for Isaac.  He is tender-hearted, goofy, energetic, playful, and full of life.  He's my special little man, and I can't wait to watch him grow up!  Happy 3rd Birthday, Isaac John!
