summer fun

We are enjoying being home with Isaac. He's doing new things everyday and loves to explore new places and meet new friends. He's saying mama, dada, and no... which usually comes out more like, "no, no, no, no, no" or "noooooooooooo!" He's signing done, more, milk, eat, and Carolyn taught him the sign for please. Here's a glimpse of what Isaac's up to this summer.

He goes to the Children's Museum.


He rests.


He practices walking.


He plays with his toys. (He's a pro at the stacker.)


He checks out the magazines.


He receives visitors. (Thanks for a great visit Carolyn!)


He dines in his diaper.

He finger paints.


He visits the kiddie pool near our house.


He smiles... a lot!

Father's Day surprise

Isaac took his first steps last night and more today. It seems he waited for Father's Day to show us his stuff.

Game Time

Isaac is showing a beginning interest in sports. He and his dad make up games involving throwing, catching, offensive and defensive maneuvers. Isaac's favorite bath game involves throwing waterlogged toys out of the bathtub. Rather than get drenched, Carl has begun playing defense and Isaac seems to love the challenge.

Here he's choosing which item to throw.

Here he is getting blocked.
One point for the parents, woohoo!

words, no pics

Isaac has been pretty cute lately, and I haven't had the camera handy.
But I wanted to write about a few things he's doing before I forget. Whenever he does anything new I get excited. It seems like the first time he does something is my first time too.

Yesterday at super I was sharing food with him and cooled down his bite by blowing on it. When I put the spoon to his lips he gave a couple extra blows to make sure it was cool enough. Cute!!

Today we were playing in the backyard. One of his balls has been sitting against the fence for a couple weeks. Today I pointed at it and asked Isaac to get the ball and he did. How cool is it when your child starts understanding language in a way that doesn't seem like a random accident?!?!?

He regularly likes to taunt the dog by standing outside at the screen door when she's trapped inside. They stand nose to nose and he laughs and laughs as she squirms to be let out.

He's into accessories - loves putting on sunglasses, 'using' the phone, eating with a spoon.

I love watching him learn and explore his world. This blog has kind of become his baby book. So, this is where I'm putting all the glorious details.

I'll try to get some pictures this weekend, but I'll definitely be taking pictures after next week when school lets out and we're all home together for the summer. Yee-haw!
