On the Move!

Isaac is trying really hard to move around. He rolls from front to back now. Gracefully gets into a tummy position from sitting. Angles to the side, reaches for everything, and tries to climb up onto things like tables, chairs and dishwashers.

He scoots somehow on his bottom. I haven't seen him do it but I have put him in one place and have found him at least 2 feet away from it a couple minutes later. He is pretty determined.

Here is a slideshow of his talented moves. Yes, he pulled out the dishwasher drawer by himself. It was full.

Rolling Over

Here is the latest and greatest thing at our house! Isaac is rolling over! Katie, who watches Isaac, wanted to show us that he could do it and got these clips. Then, that night Isaac would roll over and over again for me on the floor. I was so proud. He does it so effortlessly. He also likes to pull himself up when I place him inside the laundry basket...

Thrusting forward

Above: Isaac still doesn't quite know what to do with his mesh bag of food. The top picture is his classic first reaction whenever he eats something.

Below: Isaac was skyping with Aunt Eliza and trying to reach forward towards the laptop. It is a good motivator to get him crawling I think. Here is the gradual progression of his attempts. He got closer and closer each time.

Toy Attack

We still don't understand where his crazed behavior is coming from. He does this every time this toy gets near him...hilarious!

Babbling ...he is a chatter

Not sleeping through the night
Not rolling over
Not liking his baby food

Twinners

Katie and I went shopping and found pajama's for Hunter that matched Isaac's. A couple days later they were both wearing them and she took a photo shoot of them. Aren't they adorable!! Last week when I went over to their house, Isaac got really excited when he saw Hunter. I wonder what the reaction will be after these two weeks are over. Cute boys.

Eight Days with Isaac

Tonight Isaac showed interest in water. He has been having a bath every night for the past two weeks. It has always been in his plastic tub. At first it made him nervous. Now that he is sitting up on his he gets into curiosity mode. Tonight, as he was sitting in his plastic tub about a foot and a half from the faucet he started reaching and staring at the water. I decided to graduate him from his plastic tub...

Grandpa Jones came down on his day off with Grandma. He hung out with Isaac. Sorry Em. There aren't any funny videos. I did tape some but dad wasn't in a silly mood.
We went to visit Hayden and Andrea Hooper on Wednesday. We went to a place called MyUrbanToddler. It is a store/play land. There was a lot of things for kids to do. A library, kitchen, theatre, art room, firehouse, and lots of toys. In the middle there was a little infant area. I put Isaac in there to play and practice his sitting skills. There were little soft plastic cars that would move when you pulled them back. He loved them!! I need to find them somewhere for him. Hayden is about a year older than Isaac. He is adorable. It is hard to imagine Isaac will be like him in a year.


I was determined to use my gDiapers on my week off. I used cloth for about 5 days. It was relatively simple. I am encouraged to do it more often. He didn't have any blowouts onto his clothes while wearing them. Not to mention he is absolutely adorable!!!
These are just a few highlights of my week off!! I loved being home with Isaac. I can't wait for the summer!
