Isaac turned two on February 27th. Since his birthday falls around when I was
expecting baby number three to arrive, we decided we didn’t want a large
birthday party. The thought of having
tons of people in our home before a newborn would arrive was not preferable. So we decided to have a small gathering with just a few friends at a playground. The rain
put a stop to that idea pretty quick and we ended up at Chick-fil-a instead for a
couple hours. Shout out to the
Celebration Chick-Fil-A who gave little plush cows, balloons and ice cream to
all of us, what what! Seriously, we were
so thankful for the way it turned out and Isaac had a blast playing with some
of his favorite buddies. It was a
perfect celebration of our little man and despite the rain, all had a blast. (Plus, I'm glad we decided to have the gathering on the day we did because little did we know that Olivia would arrive the following week!)
Isaac doesn’t eat sweets (except for the free cookies from Publix bakery when we
shop for groceries!) and so I didn’t plan on having candles or cake. But it’s a party so I had to have some type
of cake right?! We brought cupcakes and after I handed them out and told people to enjoy, they were like “no we have to sing to him Jenny!” Haha, I guess I’m a bad mom, I was just gonna
pass on by the singing. So we sang, and Isaac “blew” out his
imaginary candle (ok now I felt like a bad mom, I didn’t even know he knew that’s
what you did after singing the happy birthday song)! Oh well, there’s always next year for candles

On his actual birthday, we had just arrived home the evening prior with our newest child. So we were excited to be with him the entire day. We spent that day at home with him and ate his favorite (Chick-fil-a) for dinner. My mom made monster cookies and this time around when we sang happy birthday to him, we put two candles on top for him to blow out. He was pleased.
This little guy lives up to the meaning of his name, he brings laughter to all around him.
He is all boy, very tough and likes to play tackle (all fun and games
until he has his sister pinned underneath and she can’t get up!) He’s also
really tender hearted and cares for people. He wants to share anything he has
and makes sure everyone is taken care of around him. He likes to play hide and seek and a game he
calls “shadow” which consists of walking like a monster and growling “shadow”. He is funny and keeps us constantly on our
toes and says the most adorable things.
His vocabulary seems to be exploding by the day and it’s always a
surprise of what’s going to come out next. He copies his big
sister (good and bad). He is beginning to challenge our authority, all while
teaching us how to be more gracious in our parenting as we learn to help point
his heart to Christ likeness. He only
likes to eat chicken nuggets, fruit, applesauce and fries. He will hug anyone. So if you see him running toward you, he may
be coming for a hug or to tackle you, either way be ready! He also insists on giving kisses to anyone who
leaves our house. He can answer about
five catechism questions about God. He is potty trained (for the most part, we’ve
had many accidents after Olivia’s arrival). He likes to sing “let it go” from
the movie Frozen. He hop/skips around when he’s in a good mood. He really
enjoys putting puzzles together. He weighed in at 27 pounds (almost as much as his big sister) and is measuring 35 inches in height.
