This first video is proof of Isaac's walking. He took his first steps around a week before his first birthday and he literally has never looked back. He wakes up each day determined to ace bi-ped ambulation. He is our earliest walker: all, with the exception of Jacob, walked after their first birthdays. This video is also a testimony to parenting styles; and how I might need to reassess mine;) As you can see, life around here is full of life. If you have ever watched the Clouseau/Pink Panther movies, Isaac reminds me of the little old man who stands still while the gorilla in the car is chased by the police outside of the nightclub.
And this video is just classic birthday stuff. He didn't like his cake and tried to give it back on several occasions. He also had no interest in birthday gifts and kept shoving aside his wrapped gift in an effort to make it to the walker that was Hannah and Jacob's first birthday gift. Also, note the little boy with the gun and how he is shuffled out of the birthday shot in one swift move by Dave.

I don't know what my favourite part of the first video is: Ben and Joe running around in the superman costume (esp. when B inexplicably has the costume down around his ankles), or Jacob doing what appears to be sniffing Isaac's diaper, or Jacob waggling the vent cover temptingly. Hilarious.
I was going to write pretty much exactly what Rebecca wrote in her comment. Well, that plus this: I can't get over how stunning Hannah is. The last time I saw her she was a little girl, and now she looks very much like a young lady. (Oh, and Francis was struck by how grown-up Jacob looks, as well.)
I wish I had a script of all the comments in the background:
H: Shake your bootie.
Ja: Joe just threw that at my head!
B: Strong muscles! Strong muscles!
Me: Stop crying - the camera is on record.
Joe: Waaa. Waaa.
And Isaac just maintains this Baby Maggie from the Simpsons sort of silence - suck, suck, suck, suck.
I was really enthralled by the boys in super hero costumes too. I see it as a portent of things to come.
Isaac is adorable, and I saw Sr. Ilaria last night and she was mooning over this video as well. She also held Isaiah for about 20 minutes. She has Hannah's Baby Whisperer genes.
