... and, perhaps, a little odd. This is Isaac, in his choice of gear, ready for his first birthday party: winter balaclava (because you just never know when the dreaded season might return); 'farm' shirt worn backward (I imagine the underwear is also back to front); pen dangling from necklace in an attempt to look like daddy; one croc in my attempt to coax him out of the pink cowboy boots and into a more socially acceptable form of footwear.
And Jacob, dear Jacob. Every child is born with the desire to do something great. This desire, at the moment, is being channeled by Jacob into an attempt to break a Guinness World Record. (Thank you, godparents, for your recent birthday gift.) He waffled between covering himself in sticky notes and making the longest paper chain. He chose the latter and spent all of yesterday evening trying to get to 400 metres. Good thing we have a large basement.
He tells me that when he is finished I must phone the office of the Guinness World Records and ask them to come and verify his paper chain. Apparently this involves a sworn affidavit from Dave and me attesting to Jacob's solo effort.
He tells me that he his going to string it around the track at the high school as it is 400 metres in distance. I sure hope that it doesn't rain.

Oh I how Isaac's first birthday party wasn't a disappointment... It was very much geared to my passions -- sitting around and drinking tea.
That is one impressive paper chain!! When he's famous I'll be able to say, "I changed that guy's diaper!" But I won't say it in front of him, or in front of anyone who might quote me. ;)
Jenna, we were both very happy with Isaac's first bday party.
Jaclyn, don't forget: you also rescued him from an apartment "fire"!
I can see that Isaac looks like Ben. You have to remove his hair to see the resemblance.
