Izaac's First Birthday party, Mama's race

Hey there everyone!
Ariadnee got back from her vacation! She came over on Tuesday and mom took all three of us to Pearl Street Mall by herself....brave mama.
And then we had lots of fun this past weekend......
Grandma was still here and she joined us on a trip to the zoo with mom's friend Brie and her children Austin and Macy. That was friday, then saturday we had Izaac's 1st birthday party (a week and a day early, cause mom and dad work on his actual birthday - the 28th). He got to eat cake and ice cream like the big kids! Then sunday we all got up early (actually, we were already up early) and went out to the Boulder Reservoir where mommy rode and ran in her Muddy Buddy race. A very short race - about 55 minutes, but mommy felt jazzed about being strong enough to do SOME kind of race. Dad was proud of her, he kept telling her on the way home. I think mom was pleased to place in the top third of her classification. I thought it was a little strange to see mom covered in mud from her head to her toes, but she was laughing so i got to smiling too.

Dad worked more on the deck - he has avoided doing the stairs - i think he is a little unsure of how to go about them. But he has started on the deck railings - he has to carve out each 4x4 (there are 21) to insert the 2x4 in. Mom keeps saying how beautiful this deck will be, if it gets done. Mom and dad have a bet going - dad gets to spend $500 on bike stuff if he gets the deck done by the end of the year. Mom isn't worried about losing, but she kind of hopes she does.

Zac and i are still keeping mom up alot. Zac got another tooth sometime in the last week. Dad noticed it on Monday, but it had probably been there over the weekend. Mom was impressed that dad noticed izaac's tooth while taking care of Ariadnee and us two by himself . Dad had all of us without mom because mom's work messed up her schedule (she didn't try hard to fix it.....i wonder why!?) He has another two bursting out (zac's teeth), and he was miserable yesterday. He is spending a lot of time on the boob, and i am getting jealous. I have gotten really clingy on mom, and especially when she is taking care of zac. So yes, i am still wanting to sleep in her bed and have her lay down with me while i nap or to help me go to sleep at night. And i want her to watch cartoons with me and hold me when we go out and not hold izaac. She goes a little bonkers sometimes.

Zac took his first step today!!!!! Mom and dad were excited and i tried to jump in and show them what i could do to help zac - i think i was a lot of help holding him up, but mom kept telling me to give zac the space to take his own step. Geez.

My big news is that i have been staying completely dry at night and at naps. I occasionally have an accident during the day when i put off peeing, but it is really rare. Mom and dad are pleased.

talk to you later.
