On October 26 Isaiah turned a year old! We celebrated his birthday by dressing him up in a fuzzy green monster costume and inviting over tons of friends and family, the Saturday before. It was great. We received lots of toys and lots of clothes from everyone, which was a blessing because his mommy and daddy are pretty poverty stricken these days. Isaiah consumed more sugar than ever, and surprisingly didn't throw any of it up.
Corey and I both wrote Isaiah letters about his first year of life, for him to read when he is an adult. It was quite emotional to reminisce on all of the events that had only happened within the last 365 days. I'm a sap.
Corey and I went on a neat "dayte" a couple of days ago. It was the first time we had gone out without Isaiah since our anniversary (over a month ago). It was a day date, we went to a Flanagans and ate appetizers, poor Corey didn't have beer because we can't find his wallet. Then we went to the movies to see "It's Kind of a Funny Story."
(While we were out we ran into a friend at Quills who called our day date a "DaYte," and apparently that is now the name for day dates.)
Also, Corey and I are planning our future as four instead of three. We aren't pregnant yet, but we are planning the birthing process way ahead of time because we were so unprepared with Isaiah. We are planning a home-birth, and found a midwife here in Louisville to assist us. We will be meeting with her soon, and are so excited to learn more about having a baby at home.
It was a busy month, and since the 31st is tomorrow I suppose I should start saying my goodbyes to October 2010.
