Brothers

This picture is a little old, as in before Isaac had any teeth, but it is priceless so I had to post it. These days, bath pictures would more likely depict Alex dumping water on Isaac's head or Isaac smacking Alex in the face with a bath toy. Brothers...

Boys & Bunnies

Seeing as how I've yet to blog about Easter, I figured it's still okay to post this picture that has been sitting around my office since April. Isaac, as usual, wanted nothing to do with the furry little monsters, and paid them only enough attention to grab one by its neck and attempt to hurl it as far away from himself as possible. He wanted to do the same thing with the wooden eggs, come to think of it...Needless to say, Alex became The Keeper of the Bunnies and the Eggs, while Isaac's job was to sit still and look cute. Mission accomplished!

Toy to Toy

I uploaded this second video of Alex reading earlier this month and forgot to post it. The novelty on the whole reading thing has since worn off a little, or perhaps laziness has trumped the excitement of being able to read because he just wants me to read to him now. At least I have a couple of videos so I can reminisce about the good ole days.

Beating the heat

We've been beating the heat here in Dallas by consuming lots of hydrogenated corn syrup and artificial flavorings that have been frozen into convenient little pops. Isaac had his first popsicle a few weeks ago, and despite a few instances of brainfreeze and the rancid look on his face in some of the pictures, he does enjoy the cold treat.
