Isaac is 1 Year Old!

Wow.  What a year.  Not only has Isaac turned 1 year old, but we have now officially been home a year and  we have officially been cloth diapering for a year!  Isaac has brought such tremendous joy into our lives and now we can't imagine a day when he wasn't our son.

So let's get to the good stuff.  Pictures of all of Isaac's birthday parties!  In traditional Cahalan fashion, Isaac had 3 celebrations:

Celebration #1 was very impromptu and spontaneous.  We were hanging out with cousins and Miss A decided Isaac needed a birthday cake.  So this is what we came up with - Miss A helped decorate by picking out the colors.

After cake, Isaac headed outside to get cleaned-up by the water table and pool.

 Grammy needs to understand that there is not always time for hugs and kisses!  There is tons of playing and exploring that needs to be done!

Onto celebration #2!  This one was at Baring Lake.  Dominic and Luke thought Isaac needed a Dinosaur themed cake - of course - what else?

Cool....plastic trees.  I bet they taste yummy!

This is pretty good stuff.

Ok Mom.  It was fun while it lasted.  But I've had enough.

 Celebration #3 was on Isaac's actual birthday.  While not an overly impressive homemade cake by me, at least I think you can tell that it is "the very hungry caterpillar".

 This was so funny to watch.  Dominic and Luke had to hold Isaac back from the cake long enough for us to sing happy birthday and get a few pictures!  I guess practice helps when it comes to "smash" cakes!  Isaac was not shy at all for the 3rd cake!
