Pee-pee in the Potty....

Sage went pee-pee in the potty last night! It was a momentous evening for the Cruz Family! The Commacks had mention to us that their boys had better luck going potty in this position....I don't know if he did it on his own or if Mike put him there. Whatever way he decides to go pee....doesn't matter to us....as long as he is going pee in the potty and not in a diaper (we could start saving money without having to buy diapers). I'm sure we will have to use diapers in bed for a while, but hey it's a start!! Yahoo! When you see him, congratulate him for his success!!

Everyone Watching the Dancers

We had quite a few people attend the party. It was enjoyable for everyone!

Isabelle Dancing

Here she is in front of all those people dancing away. I think we had at least 70 people at the party. She had a good time watching and participating. She was the cutest, sweetest and punkiest pie!! A-belle is her nickname because Sage can't say Isabelle.

Isabelle Dancing with the Kicaput Dancers

Isabelle dancing with the Kicaput Dancers. She loved walking around and dancing with the boys in the front. She loved every minute of it!! The dancing was great! We will never forget this party, that's for sure.

Kicaput Dancers preparing to perform

We invited the Kicaput Dancers to come in and perform for Isabelle. She loved it. Here she is waiting for them to perform. She walked about them and danced with them. It was so precious and adorable! She was not afraid of the loud drum noises. She thought it was pretty cool. She danced and walked around them during the whole performance. They performed for about 45 minutes. Thank you Kicaput Dancers for performing. It was awesome!!

Kids enjoying a birthday game

One of the games that everyone played (yes, everyone including the adults) was to see who could pop the balloon the fastest by sitting on it. It was pretty loud especially when the adults did it.....it sounded like a machine gun went off. It was pretty funny!

Isabelle and Sage with cake

Here Sage is digging his finger in his sister's cake. He was probably wondering why Isabelle wasn't tasting the cake. After a few swipes, Sage offered some to Isabelle, but she declined.

Isabelle and her cake

Isabelle deciding what to do with her cake. She didn't dive into it at all. Sage took his finger and took a few samples, but that was about it. Isabelle cried and wanted to get out of the high chair....too many people looking at her and she got a little scared. Also, there were so many people there that she was probably thinking...."what the?"

James and Meryl

James and Meryl (Doll's cousin) are going to be married this summer. Isabelle loves this couple very much! They also love hanging out with her. We are glad that they could be a part of her first birthday party.
