My Boy Sounds Like E.T.

Mr. J. is coming down with a nasty cold, and on Sunday he woke up sounding like he swallowed E.T. It faded pretty quickly, but I caught a little bit of that unique sound.

Spins

The boy likes to go in circles. He must get it from me. I always loved the spinning rides like the Scrambler and the gravity thing that pinned you against the wall. And I can remember spinning around as a kid until I fell down. Blossom gets nauseated if she watches him go in circles [...]

Getting Ready for Bed

As Isaac is creeping up on a year and half, and as we get settled into the new house, we are starting to establish a pretty consistent bedtime routine. We get a diaper change and jammies on, then we romp a bit. We clean up toys, then off for a tooth brush. We ask if [...]

Eat and Run

Isaac is walking like a champ, and starting to get some words. And by words I mean sounds he uses that sometimes mean the same thing. So here he is showing off his walk.

Salute

Isaac doesn’t wave, he salutes:

Almost Walking

We have taken steps, but not on a regular basis. He still likes to crawl most places, but occasionally he’ll decide to take a step or two. One time he did maybe 6 steps. We keep trying to get him to walk, but mostly he ignores us and does as he pleases.
Oh and we are [...]

Isaac Loves His Wagon

Mimi Trish bought Isaac a little wagon for his birthday, and he has taken to pushing it endlessly back and forth across the attic. He’s gotten quite good at extricating it from nooks and crannies where it sticks, showing off some new motor skills. I took a loooooong video of him messing around with the [...]

Pool Time

Last weekend was damn hot, so we filled up the kiddie pool for Isaac to splash in. He approached it somewhat tentatively, not perceiving as a giant bath tub like I expected. But he seemed to enjoy reaching over the side to give the water a splash or two. Also note the cool swim togs [...]

Sherpa Boy

Little man loves him some stair climbing.

Where’s The Off Switch?

Isaac J. is a full on crawling baby now. He cares not to eat, or sleep, or sit quietly contemplating the ease of baby life. All he wants to do is move. Observe as he splashes incessantly in the bath, then hauls tush down to his room to play with his toys.
I hope one day [...]
