Happy Valentines Day!

Snack Time!

I haven't posted new pics of Isaac lately. This is because I have not been as good at taking pictures, and now that he is crawling, I can't seem to get any decent ones. They all come out fuzzy because he is all over the place! Here are a couple of fun ones that I did get recently.

Dad shared some chocolate pudding with Isaac.

Typical snacktime for Isaac and our poor starving dog, Molly.
