Isaac’s Second Birthday Party
2009-06-27 – 21:50
Today we had a nice little party for Isaac’s second birthday, which happens officially on July 2. Aine, Andy, and Millie came over along with their parents, and everyone played and ate and generally had a good time. Isaac played with his presents non-stop until he went to bed, which is great because we need to retire some of his more baby-ish toys. So thanks again to everyone who came over and sent presents.
What a thing, having a two year old! We’re really starting to feel the parenting now, as opposed to the life support. Isaac is a thinking, talking, human being and we have to work extra hard now not to screw him up. Lucky for us he’s a sweet natured kid who likes hugs, and naps, and Kix, and brothers, and being outside, and trucks, and books; it makes it easier.

The words keep on coming. Isaac is up to using two and three word phrases, although he’s still repeating words more than using them spontaneously. Still, he’s getting more fun to talk to even though our conversations are fairly banal.

What a perfect day. I prepped a planting bed on the shady side of the house in the morning, with some help from Isaac while Mama and Ephraim looked on. Then we just sat on the deck for a while while enjoying the world. Later in the day we went to Mike and Melissa’s, where the kids ran wild and we ate yummy foodstuffs. It was quite fun to watch Aine and Isaac figure out how to take turns with the toy car:

Here is a nice video of Ephraim smiling and cooing for .2 seconds, then not doing much of anything for a while. But we think he’s still cute.

The new little one is a talker. I grabbed two minutes of a ten minute soliloquy, which encompassed several bouts of cooing, two spit-ups, and a whole lot of head holding up.
Update 1: Looks my video go boom. I’ll have to re-upload tonight.
Update 2: Fixed.
