Gramma and Papa

We had a really fun visit with Gramma and Grampa (or Mama and Papa as Isaac calls them).

Papa saved Isaac from the scary dinosaurs at the Zoo

On Saturday, we went to the beach where Nate taught Isaac the trick of "letting your legs go numb". It's a WA-thing, I guess.

Sunday morning we visited the Ballard Locks to learn about the salmon ...

On Isaac's 19 month birthday, we spent the morning at Carkeek Park.

"Choo-choo!" He loves watching the trains go by!

Playing cars

This kid is addicted to his cars. We found a new game to play!

The beach!

Low tide at the beach means mud and puddles -- Isaac's favorite!


HANDFULS of mud!

From Months 19-21

Waiting for the perfect moment to toss the mud into the water

Finally ... sunshine! My little surfer dude.

Tractor

Isaac loves "trac-tors"! It is also one of his new words!




We (read: Nate) installed tile in our bathroom. Isaac *really* wanted to help!

First haircut

For the past couple weeks, it seems everywhere we went people thought Isaac was a girl. Here he is at the park on this 18 month birthday. What do you think?

From Month 18

It was a rainy, yucky day in Seattle today and what better to do than go get Isaac his first haircut! I was very hesitant because I love his blond ringlets and almost bailed at the last minute.

From Months 19-21

He's looks so much older, don't you think?! What happened to my little boy?

From Months 19-21

Last weekend we headed over to Lynne's to enjoy the sunshine. Isaac decided it would be fun to dump a couple of bowlfuls of rainwater on himself and he ended up in one of Tutu's shirts while we were waiting for his clothes to dry. Tehe. ;)
