Isaac's First Haircut

Isaac was such a good boy for his first haircut.
He watched Sesame Street quietly while the guy cut his hair.

He loved the car-chair!

Doesn't he look like such a big boy with his new haircut?
He got to pick a prize out of the pumpkin!

Then, he got a certificate and a balloon for being such a great boy during his haircut!

An Unsuccessful Photo-Shoot

This was about the best mood Isaac was in during our hour-long attempt at some 18-month Fall, Halloween photos. He was grumpy and bored. We couldn't do anything to make him smile. So, we didn't purchase any photos and just scrapped the whole experience.

Cute, huh?


"I'm bored and these leaves and pumpkins are doing nothing for me."

He was an adorable lion, but not happy.

Kohl Children's Museum

Calling Dr. Isaac Dempsey, Dr. Isaac Dempsey please.

We got free passes to the Kohl Children's Museum (http://www.kohlchildrensmuseum.org/) in Glenview. Isaac has never been so excited! He loved every room more than the last! He lasted all day without a nap and went to bed at 3pm for the night. If we lived closer, we would definitely have a family pass.



Isaac is soooooo big! He weighs 26 lbs (or the equivalent of ~3 gallons of milk).

Kohl Children's Museum (cont)

Isaac loves doggies. He got right in the cage with them!

The construction exhibit was the best! Not only because of the cute orange vests, but Isaac loved playing with the blocks.



He loved every room and really did not want to leave, but he was so tired.

Took Isaac to ER with the croup

After we got home from the arboretum, Isaac started coughing and it was a really strange sounding cough. We thought he was just really tired, so we tried to put him down for a nap. He couldn't sleep well and kept waking up. We took his temperature and it was 103! After a call to pediatrician, we were off to the ER at Loyola. They said that he had croup, gave him Tylenol and a steroid nebulizer treatment. It was a little scary, but he was back to normal quickly.

The Morton Arboretum





We got free passes to the Morton Arboretum (http://www.mortonarb.org/) from the Forest Park Library, and it was a beautiful day! Isaac loved the children's area. There were fountains, flowers, tunnels, playgrounds, musical instruments. We were there for hours, but probably saw less than 1/10 of the garden. We can't wait to go back sometime.

Last Weekend at the Pool





We all had so much fun at the pool this summer. At the beginning of the summer, Isaac wasn't too sure about it, but then he started to love it. We were so sad that the summer was over and the pool was closing. Can't wait til Memorial Day 2010!

Isaac's First Day at Concordia

Isaac sits down at the table for breakfast at his first day in the Toddler Room at Concordia. Yes, mommy was taking a photo from the doorway as she left. Isaac is the closest kid on the right.

Isaac's Last Day with our Nanny, Angie


Our nanny, Angie, did lots of fun things with Isaac all summer. However, in September, Angie is starting a new job with Southwest Airlines and Isaac will be starting daycare at Concordia. We are really excited about Isaac starting Concordia, but sad to see Angie go. Isaac really loved her, and they had so much fun together. Hopefully, she will still be able to babysit occasionally.

Adam and Amber visit for a Sox Game

Our cousins and great friends, Adam and Amber, visited again this weekend. We had fun playing with Isaac and a great cookout with Margaritas. We got a babysitter on Saturday night, so we could all go to a White Sox game. It was an amazing night out and a great time to catch up.

Isaac's New Sandbox






We got a free sandbox from someone. We weren't sure if Isaac would even like it, but he
really loved it. He could spend hours in it getting very messy!
