Happy First Birthday, Elliott and Isaac!! (Part One)

What a difference a year makes!  Last year, I woke up feeling as big as a house...
My last "belly picture" before leaving for the hospital on October 6, 2010

And this year, I woke up feeling like I was in a mad house!
We'll pretend Elliott is laughing and not crying on his birthday!

We'll pretend Isaac has drool on his chin and not snot from waking up with the runniest nose ever!
After breakfast, we started the day with the boys' monthly pictures.  As predicted, they continue to become less cooperative with every session.  Isaac sitting for two seconds is impossible.  Elliott was a bit more patient this morning.  A joint picture is torture for everyone involved, especially Bob.  He is the baby catcher as they try to hurl themselves from the chair mid-photo.  Here's the best we could do...


Elliott looks bored because he was tired of waiting on Isaac to decide cooperate!  Isaac finally decided to give us this smile after multiple seating changes, several toy swaps, and lots of tears.

This is the real story of the joint monthly pictures...patient Elliott waiting on silly brother Isaac.

The picture below is not the best, but it is photo documentation of an important first.  Today was the first day the boys wore shoes!  Barefoot boys for an entire year...No Kentucky jokes, please!  Bob decided they automatically look older by just wearing shoes.
