As you can see from the pictures, the obvious is happening. Luke is getting bigger and Isaac is noticing him more. We finally got Isaac to want to hold Luke on his lap. Isaac doesn't do more than allow Luke to sprawl across his legs and Luke really doesn't find that comfortable so we don't let Isaac hold him for very long.
So far Luke is 4 for 5 at being good at talking on the phone. If he watches me talk on the phone while I hold him for a few minutes then I hand him the phone he starts jabbering and goo gooing too, He's so funny. He also LOVES to be held yet he doesn't necessarily like to look at you. He'll almost turn his head 360 degrees around trying to avoid your gaze. The trick is that you sing to him and ignore him and then when he lets his guard down you move infront of his eyes and he'll smile so big that his eyes almost sqeeze shut!
Isaac is poop city. The story is that we tried to potty train him. He learned number one really fast and since we enjoyed not putting diapers on we praised him for pooping in the toilet and frowned at him for pooping in his diaper. It was wonderful for 2 weeks. And then he decided he hated the toilet. He started peeing in diapers again even and so Amy and I would get disappointed at Isaac and after another week he was peeing in the toilet again but he was holding onto his poop, trying hard not to poop at all. And then we went to Utah where some of you noticed how foul a poo can be if you hold it in. We were told to try suppositories and those work only when Isaac is trying to hold in the poop and he's all backed up.
Now we're back home and Isaac is doing better in his old habbits and he pees good and he now gets on the toilet and tries to poop. Now the problem is that he's been holding onto his poop for 3 weeks and he must've broke his pipes or something because he can't get much out even when he tries really hard. The worst is that his butt has become raw and red. We put on medicine and Isaac freaks out. We put on vasiline and Isaac freaks out, and worst when we do the suppository. Isaac is hating his broken butt right now. Amy booked a trip to the Doctor sometime this week and hopefully we'll get help. Also we only feed Isaac high in fiber foods now. He really has a perfect diet for pooping. Yes we have him drinking alot too. If you or anyone you know have ideas PLEASE let us know. THANKS
Other things... Isaac sings primary songs now. If you start "I looked out the window and what did I see" He'll finish the phrase with baby words that sound like they rhyme with the real words.
Amy is going crazy at home dealing with poo. Life is not fun at home alone. I think she's doing better now, adjusting to the difficulties of stay at home motherhood. I'm back at school, the first week wasn't hard, I realized I couldn't run a mile anymore without walking a bunch, but now I'm exercizing again and improving fast. I'll let you know when school kills me.
Isaac thinks its funny when mommy says she's going crazy. He laughs at her and then begs her to take him see muhma and pampa on ah'pane up up, on ah'pane down down.
We'd also like to mention that Amy's grandpa Bob passed away on Saturday. It's hard being so far away, we wish we could be there but are glad we could have seen him only like 3 weeks ago. He was one of the strongest manly men that knew. We're going to miss him a ton and hope the best for grandma Udell and all her kids. We love you Grandpa Bob!
