It seems like Isaac has grown up so much just in the past couple weeks. It's crazy how once he learns something new, he masters it within a week or two. I think he really started crawling on December 31st, and since then it has become second nature. He also got his very first tooth on January 12th, his 8 month birthday! After a couple more days passed, up popped tooth number 2! So he now has his 2 bottom teeth, and we are so glad. I was getting tired of waking up 2 or 3 times a night with him. The poor little guy has suffered through a lot- his teeth, he's had fluid built up in his ears for the past month, but it is not infected so there is nothing we can do about it, and he's had a runny/stuffy nose forever. I think partly from teething. All of these ailments have bugged him at night, but in the daytime he is still happy as can be. :) It's funny how I heard so many people say how much harder he'd be once he can crawl, but I've actually found it to be so much easier. He entertains himself so much more then he used to. I just set him on the floor and make sure he doesn't stick anything bad in his mouth, and he sometimes entertains himself for like a half hour before he comes crawling to me for attention. Here a some of my favorite pictures from the past couple weeks:
Isaac loves going through the bins under his bed and pulling everything out. It's 10 minutes of entertainment, with 30 second clean up time.
Lunch time!
This is what I used to wake up to every morning- this was actually a good day where he was just staring at me. Usually he was crying. It was hard sharing a room with him, because if he woke up at night, I had to actually leave the room for him to go back to sleep. He'd cry as long as he knew I was in there. So he is now officially sleeping in the kitchen! Making the move got it so that he slept through the entire night again within just a couple days- which means i got to sleep the whole night through too. It's wonderful to sleep again.
His new favorite thing is to pull himself up in his crib. The rails are down in this picture, so it's easy for him like that. He struggles a little more when they are all the way up, so sometimes he'll just sit on his knees to look out. But he seriously tries to pull himself up on everything now, he's going to be walking before we know it.
Stuck under the chair, he crawls into little spaces, then tries to sit down. ha ha, not quite enough room- maybe he'll figure that out soon. He usually just ends up crying until I come over and save him. Pretty sure he was crying just a few seconds after this picture was taken. Silly boy.
Just like he likes to pull stuff out of the bins under his bed, he also likes to pull all of his toys out.
I also have a wonderful little video I'd like to share with y'all, but it's having trouble uploading. I think my internets been too slow to upload videos lately. So I'll just post what I have, and hopefully get the video up later!
And I promise he's not in his pj's all the time, all these pictures just happened to be taken in the morning or at night. :)
Then we visited the Olympic fountains. Isaac thought that was pretty cool. The umbrella was for the sun, not the water. But anyways, I really like this picture a lot.
And here's the front view. What cute boys I have.
Then just a couple more pictures..... The other day when we were sneaking by Isaac's crib as he slept, we saw that he fell asleep with his foot sticking through the rails. We thought it was picture worthy ha ha.
And finally- last picture- Brad took a picture titled "Spoiled Baby". This is Isaac with all of his toys. But he really isn't too spoiled- Brad just thinks he is.
