Some Random Pics

So I have two groups of pictures for you today. The first group is from my company holiday party. It was held at the Mob Museum here in Las Vegas. These are a few that I thought came out particularly well.
The second group is a bunch of pictures of Isaac that I found on my memory card when I was going through the hundreds of photos I took at the party. These go all the way back to September so you’ll see some significant differences between some of them.

Holy Sunset!

Last night we had one of the more impressive sunsets I’ve seen since we moved out here. And we do get some impressive, big-sky, desert sunsets!
But this one… it had just paused storming for a few minutes and it was still drizzling lightly. The sun dipped below the cloud cover and cast a syrupy golden glow across the city. I went outside to check it out and there was a full rainbow across the sky behind our house. I tried to snap a photo of the rainbow and of the sunset. Neither of them really do their subjects justice, but what the heck. Here you go.

Well, happy first birthday to our curious, wonderful, bright, loving, silly, beautiful little man! Here are some pics from the first birthday party. (I have some more great pics from the last month or so that I’ll post separately in a round-up.) Our little guy is getting so big!

Walking

Yeah, that went from tentative first steps to walking pretty quickly. I’m guessing in one more week he’ll be full on walking everywhere.
Also: Isaac is goofy.

First Steps

Okay well Isaac has started taking his first baby steps. We’ve tried capturing it on video… oh how we’ve tried. I’ve deleted tons of videos of him not walking as he was walking towards me to see what I was doing. He’s an a-hole like that, and we love him for it. I think he gets it from me.
Anyways, here are a few first tentative steps. When we get a video of him doing better, we’ll be sure to post it.

Jenny likes to say that Isaac looks like me, but I wouldn’t be so sure…

Fireworks and Cheese

A funny story: we have a little phone app called “Baby Fireworks”. About 5 fireworks launch up onto the screen and then spin around until you (or presumably your baby) touch them, then they pop and are replaced. We were showing Issac how it works and he was having problems hitting them with his finger. In fact, one time he missed the screen all together!
To help him along, Jenny took his finger and used it to touch the fireworks. We then let go and told him to try again. He went right for Jenny’s hand and used her finger to touch the fireworks! It was hilarious!
In other news, we were surprised to discover yesterday that Isaac knows how to make a “Cheese!” face when you point a camera at him. It doesn’t work with a phone camera or with my big SLR, but point-and-shoot does it every time. We assume he learned it at day care. Check it out; it’s adorable.

Swim Lessons

Well, since we have a nice big pool now, we figured it’d be prudent to get Isaac into swim lessons ASAP. We signed up for a little two-week “water familiarization” class at a local public pool. Isaac is having a great time in the water! I took some photos at today’s class and, though I haven’t actually post-processed them at all, I’m sharing them.
Please excuse the bad focus, spotty white balance and odd lighting. Indoor pools are notoriously hard places to get good photos in the first place. I was also using a friend’s camera (and 70-200 f/2.8 lens!) and I’m not used to Canon’s system.

Isaac’s First Haircut

I got sick of Isaac’s comb-over and, since his new hair is all in now, decided to cut it. Now we have the same haircut!
