Giggles for Dad

Dad was down in Austin for the weekend, so Isaac sent him some virtual giggles.

Springfest at Daycare

Demonstrating advanced cup-holding skills (funny how he's never done this with milk or water - only Hawaiian Punch slushie).

Enjoying his first bounce house experience.

Cherry Blossom Picnic

There's a lot that Mom likes about this photo - the classic ball-car boy combo, Isaac's sullen look - but Eli's tongue really steals the show.

First night with friends and family:

Chocolate cake = big smile

Second night with Mom and Dad:

Munching on matzah

Mama's Shirt, Dada's Shoes

Dad took this photo one morning after Mom went to work.  Isaac had dragged the sweater out of the dry cleaning pile, pronounced one of his first two-word phrases, "mama shirt", and asked Dad to help him put it on.  The little fashionista melted his mom's heart later than night with a repeat performance.
