It's been a while...

Well, I know it's been several months since I've last posted, but after school started things got busy and now we're into February. Boy, how time flies. Here is just a glimpse of the last few months.

End of July: Isaac started walking, or should I say running, everywhere! His balance wasn't the best at first, but it didn't take long!

September 7: Isaac turned 1! It was a big day of fun!

Fall: We played outside any chance we got! Isaac loved collecting leaves and sticks to carry around.

He even got to help Grampy one weekend pick up sticks!

October: A trip to Appleworks and more!

He had grown at least a foot since last year!

The animals were a favorite!

Not sure what was more fun, picking a pumpkin or eating the dirt.

Trick or Treat!

Can't forget Dan's big birthday! Happy 3-0!

November:

Nerf model?

Over Thanksgiving, Pop came from Missouri and got to play with Isaac. Very special!

I'm on a Boat

My assistant, Kim, invited us over to go swimming with her kiddos the other day. Isaac got to try out his boat for the first time. He had a great time. Kim's daughter and niece loved floating around with Isaac. Naturally, he took the opportunity to flirt with the girls while floating.

Fruit Popsicles

There's nothing better than a popsicle on a super hot day! I was enjoying a frozen fruit popsicle the other day and Isaac couldn't help himself. After just one lick, he was hooked! (Not to mention he's teething and I think the cold felt good on his gums.)

Just because...

...I like this one.

Bug Eyes

Apparently Isaac has learned Daddy's bug eye trick with the camera.

A New Trick in the Crib

About a week ago I walked in to get Isaac and found him patting on the side of his crib. He now thinks it's a funny game. Time to lower the crib again!

PS He sure makes it difficult to be annoyed when he wakes up before sunrise.

Door Stops are Scary

Isaac found the door stop. Once he figured out what kind of noise it made, it scared him and he quickly crawled away. He hasn't been back since.

Dog Food

Guess who discovered Mac's dog food bowl.

Yes, he may have managed to get a piece in his mouth because I was taking pictures, but I promptly got it out! No worries!

Father's Day

Dan got a two day Father's Day celebration. We went to lunch with my brother, Lindsey, Bella and Mom on Saturday. Then Sunday we went to Columbus to celebrate with Dan's family. We were going to get a picture of Dan and Isaac together, but not everyone was cooperating. This is the only picture we got of Dan and Isaac is with Grampy, too. Three generations of Auds.

Dan is a great dad to Isaac! It's fun to watch Isaac in adoration of Dan on a daily basis! I can't wait to see them together as Isaac gets bigger! Happy Father's Day, Dan!

Best Buds

Isaac sure LOVES Mac!! He spends most of his day chasing him and climbing on him. Thankfully Mac is very patient. I think he likes the attention.

P.S. I promise Mac is NOT biting his fingers. He likes to lick Isaac's fingers after he's had lunch. Go figure!

Ear Infection

We started the summer with an ear infection. You know you don't feel well when you fall asleep playing.

The Great Bumbo Escape

So, it's been about a month since this actually took place, but since we've been busy having fun I haven't had time to post...

I was working in the kitchen while Dan was doing things around the house, so we sat Isaac in his Bumbo to play with Fridge DJ. Dan turned around to say something to me and this is what he saw.

Isaac had managed to somehow escape from the Bumbo! We're not sure how he did it, but Bumbo has now been retired. He likes to be a part of the action to much to sit and play by himself.

Swimming

We busted out a kiddie pool for Isaac the other day and needless to say, he loved it! Here are some of our favorites!

Family Pics

Found these in the archives from the Easter pictures.

Dan, Amanda and Mom

The Aud Clan

First Trip to Lucas Oil Stadium

Saturday afternoon the Colts had a free practice at Lucas Oil Stadium. Dan and I decided that we would take advantage of the price and take Isaac to watch the Colts for the first time at LOS. He absolutely loved watching the HUGE fans, flirting with the girls and cheering for practice drills.

"Um, no, I checked my ticket and these are my seats."

Dan and Isaac couldn't pass up the opportunity to have their picture taken with Super Fan.

Drums or Lead Singer?

Saturday morning while Mommy and Daddy were picking up the house, Isaac was watching Imagination Movers and playing his drum...or was he singing along? You be the judge.

There really are pictures

So, I promise that we really do take pictures of Isaac. The problem is that Dan downloads them on his work computer and not the family laptop (it is too full for any more pictures--need to get another external hard drive). With only 3 more weeks of school for me and the busiest time of the year, Dan working until 8:00 each night and keeping up with the demands of our 8 month old cutie, pictures of have not been taken from Dan's computer. When summer hits in 3 more weeks, I promise I will get a chance to update something.

A few facts to look forward to... Isaac loves to laugh at Dan and his QB cadance (video to come), he's working on his first tooth (finally!) and rockin' back and forth on his knees (won't be long until he crawls).

Easter Eggs

Okay, so it's a little late, but better late than never, right? Isaac helped decorate Easter eggs this year, until he spilled the pink everywhere. Then he got to watch.

Isaac was excited to get started.

He needed to test the eggs before they got dyed.

Here he is seconds before the big spill. We we were working together on the orange. It's the right hand in the back that snuck in and pulled it over! I guess he's not a fan of pink.
