June 1st was Isaiah’s 2nd birthday. Since we were traveling during that time Isaiah ended up having five birthday parties. My uncles and aunts had a cake for him on Saturday. The family we stayed with in NJ had a party for him Sunday night. My parents had a party for him Tuesday night. That Saturday the family we were staying with had a party for him. And we had a SC party for him this past Tuesday. (Pictures below in order, left to right.)

Isaiah has grown a lot in the past year: he learned to walk, and he now runs, climbs, and is all boy; his talking exploded with a large vocabulary and he sometimes uses full sentences; he has quite the sense of humor; he loves to read books, usually geared for Becca’s age; he loves playing with his big sister; and he loves music.

Becca was really excited about her gift to Isaiah. Weeks ago she decided she wanted to get Isaiah a piggy bank and put some of her own money in it. She could not wait for Isaiah to open his present. You can see her excitement in the picture — the gift was a hit! It was really sweet to watch Becca have the joy of giving.

We are thankful for the gift of Isaiah to our family. He adds so much joy and laughter into our lives. We look forward to year three and all that God has in store for our little man. Happy Birthday Sai-Zai!
