Isaac is beginning too… pull himself up to standing, cruise along the couch and walk with assistance.

Isaac has mastered… saying Mama and Dada, sticking out his tongue, waving bye -bye, regular crawling, eating table foods and pulling himself up to his knees.

Isaac loves… Oscar kisses (it is so gross), pulling himself up on things, taking the books and DVD’s off the shelves, exploring, taking baths in the big boy tub, his new bath toys, the new lego blocks set and throwing things on the floor (including his food and sippy cup).

Isaac currently dislikes… sitting still, being told “no”, changing clothes and diaper changes.

Names we call him… I-man and Big Guy.

Proud Parents: This month was one of those months where Isaac changed a lot. It was the month of knowledge because he learned a lot of new things.
This month he figured out his stealth like army crawl wasn’t the most logical way to get from here to there and it was much more efficient (and quicker) if he crawled on this hands and knees. He also realized that by modifying his crawling style he was much more capable to chase Oscar around the house. This has been quite interesting because for about a week Oscar would lay down on the floor, then Isaac would crawl over and try to kiss/pet him… so Oscar would get up and move to another location on the floor… then Isaac would again crawl to that spot. So Oscar then discovered that he must lie on the couch to escape from the little guy. Well…Isaac loves Oscar sooo much that he was determined to get up to the couch and about a week later, he was pulling himself up to his knees so he could just reach Oscar’s face. So again, Oscar moved farther away on the couch/ottoman… and about another week later… Isaac decided that if he stood up and cruised along the couch there was so escape for Oscar. So, much thanks to Oscar, Isaac has learned to crawl, pull himself up and cruise over the past month.
Also, this month Isaac’s vocabulary has increased. Not only is he always saying Mama and Dada (still not differentiating between the two of us) but he also said his first real word. And the first word was…..“uh oh”! Apparently we must say this word often in our house, because every time something drops on the floor… “uh-oh” comes right out of his little mouth.
It has been a real joy watching him grow up and learn new things each and every day.
