Christmas for a 1 yr old

December 2nd marked a year for Isaiah. He continues to turn our wolrd upside down and give us new meaning to life. Everyday we spend with him is a gift from God. Nothing is greater than seeing and experiencing the world from his eyes. This boy continues to amaze us and bring us laughter everyday. Mommy and Daddy love you very much!

His birthday was spent with many friends and family. I'm not sure how we all fit into the Paraiso house but we did. The rain held up for most of the day. It was cold outside but the tacos made up for that. Our party was Yo Gabba Gabba themed and Annie put in a lot of work to make the party as successful as it was. Isaiah thanks all of you for the many generous gifts you gave him.

Family and friends told us many times to enjoy the moments with Isaiah because they fly right by. They were all right. It's hard to believe Annie and I have been parents for a year now. Last Christmas we were holding a ball of goo in our arms. We took turns holding him and passing him around. He slept right through Christmas. He was wearing an oversized (because he was so small) "My first Christmas" onesie.

A year later we found ourselves following him around everywhere as he crawled and walked his way around the house. The grandparents looked exhausted. We took turns feeding ourselves and the baby. We actually looked forward to Christmas this year all because of Ziggy. He noticed the Christmas tree this year and all the ornaments hanging from it. He noticed the Christmas lights hanging on our patio. A small attempt to open gifts was made on his part. New things for Isaiah meant new things for us and this made Christmas 2009 one to remember.
