Visiting with Granma and Nanny

After Christmas Nanny came to visit and Isaac's day-care was on holidays so when Mommy and Daddy went back to work Isaac got to spend a week playing with Granma and Nanny. These pictures aren't in order, but they are still cute :)

Going for a walk snuggled into his new snowsuit. Thanks Great-Aunt Deb! Isaac loves it.

Trying to play with his puppy, but his hands are stuck in his sleeves :P

Reading with Nanny. Isaac has become quite the bookworm...some books we have resorted to hiding because he make you read them over and over again.

Playing with the quilt Nanny and Great-Grammy Long made. Isaac really loved it!

Playing with his puzzle. Isaac can now place all the shapes without any help. The animals are a little harder, but he's got the shapes down.

More book-time. Isaac likes to just sit and look through all his books. Granma and Nanny took him to Chapters and he was the youngest one there and was the only one looking at books when the other kids were playing with the toys.

Speaking of playing with toys at Chapters....Playing with the Thomas train with Granma.

Learning to colour.

Christmas Day

Isaac checking out his toys Christmas morning. "Can I play with them yet, Mommy?"

Finally got to tear into some paper!!

We had the gates down for a while so that we could get to the gifts under the tree. Unfortunately, that didn't last long.

Whew, presents are hard work!

Round two, post-nap and after putting the gate back up.

Finally.... Play time!!!!!

All these new toys, and Isaac spent most of the day playing with a can of peaches he stole out of the pantry.... Oh well, still fun.

Walking - Sort of

Sword Fight

Happy Birthday Isaac!!!!

Monday, December 13, 2010, Isaac's first birthday. At first he wasn't sure what to make of the big deal the grown ups were making of the flaming cupcake, but he quickly warmed up to it.

Nanny was able to join us from Halifax via Skype for Isaac's first birthday cake. We all look forward to her visit in January.

Isaac also got to talk to his Auntie Elisabeth and cousins Joanna and Rachel via Skype earlier in the evening.

Unwrapping gifts. "Is this how you do it, Dad?"

Playing with his new puzzles with Granma. He tries to put them in, but they are a little tricky yet. His favorite thing is to take out all the pieces and stack them into a neat pile, then knock he pile over.

Meeting Santa Claus

Went to the mall today and met Santa Claus!! Isaac did so well too. Never cried, didn't even make a pouty face. Just sat there, looked at Santa, looked at Mommy, looked back at Santa, then it was time to get off so the next kid could have a turn. Mommy was very proud of her big boy.

Looking forward to a little birthday party and cake tomorrow (more pics coming soon!)
