I don’t post nearly often enough about Isaac and his growth, but today was quite exciting. Kind out of nowhere Isaac decided to stand up from the ground with no help. He sort creates a triangle with his body and then uses hands to get a point that he is bending over and then stands up. We were out in the yard planting some grass and I could see a look in his eyes that said he wanted to stand up alone. But, he didn’t do it. Then we came inside and several hours later after Gina got home he did it very unexpectedly. I grabbed the camcorder then and he was being goofy for a while and then he did again (well almost and then fell) and then he did it for real (he technically used the box of wipes, but he didn’t need to.) Lastly, right after I turned off the camera he walked into the side of the couch and fell down. It was very funny but not taped.
The first video is him being goofy and trying (and failing) to stand up.
Whenever I play Mario Kart, Isaac does the same thing. Between races or whenever the music stops, Isaac says, “Uh oh.” Then when the music starts again, he dances away. It is just quite cute when he gets worried about the music stopping.
I had an odd/potentially scary realization while driving the other day. I had to change lanes across three lanes to get into the right turn lane in front of Hawthorn mall. This was during the snow and there was a fair amount of traffic. Well while I was crossing these three lanes, rather quickly, and checking my blind spots and mirrors this car in front of my splashed a bunch of slush onto the windshield and I had to push the windshield washer cleaner button while turning on the turn signal while maintaining a decent speed so as not to get rear ended and then negatively accelerating quickly because I still had to turn.
Now, this is not a horribly dramatic situation, but it was a lot of things happening at once and I handled it all in stride without even really flinching, and I honestly think it was because I have been playing a lot of Mario Kart lately. Continue Reading…
We have gone to JC Penny for pictures twice in the last month. Once for normal 10 month pictures and once for Easter pictures. Both times now JC Penny has asked us to allow him to the in the sample book. Now, I’m not saying this will lead to an actual career, but he is an adorable baby, and if he could earn his college tuition, that would be nice. Here is the first picture they wanted:
On Thursday Isaac and I were at home while Gina was at Parent Conferences and he was a ball of energy. All night long he was crawling around making what I can best describe as race car noises. It was hilarious! He was a little sick that night still, but he is better now. He had an error infection and the amoxicillin did a fantastic job. Anyway, here is the video.
Over the past few days, Isaac is getting closer and closer to walking. The other day he took his first little step and now he can step up for almost 10 seconds on his own. When he gets up he kind of looks around like, what am I doing up here. He also gets this real proud look on his face sometimes when stands up for a few seconds. We think he may start walking any day now. Here is a video of him taking about five steps in a row.
