One whole year of awesome

Dear Isaac

Today was your first birthday! It's hard to believe it's been a year already, but at the same time it's hard to remember a time when you weren't in our life.

You had a good birthday. You had presents, and toys, and Nana and Grandma came to visit, and you had tons of fun playing.

You also hard a hard birthday. You were teething. And teething sucks. There was a moment today when you were really upset. You were crying and crying and crying on my lap. Then, I picked you up, put your tummy on my head, and shook my head all over your tummy. You thought that was hilarious. Then I put you down. You immediately started crying again. Because you're teething. And teething sucks.

The great thing about your first birthday is that we really get to see some of the first hints of what you're personality is like. So let me give you a few ideas about what that looks like right now.


  1. You are determined. When you want something, nothing will get in your way. 
  2. You are friendly. No stranger is safe from an ultra cute Isaac smile.
  3. You are rambunctious. You like big noises, big splashes, and big messes.
  4. You are goofy. You love to smile, love to play, and love to laugh. Even your name means "He laughs."
I like that last one. Teething sucks. Lots of things about life are going to suck. I hope you keep finding the time in those moments to recognize that it's good to laugh. I'm sure you will. It's who you are.



Love Dad.
