Isaac was grumpy today. At least he slept a lot too.

Friday: six weeks
Today Isaac turned six weeks old!
We went to Target in the morning with my dad to pick up the last of the items on the registry. I was not impressed. They had no cribs out to buy. When we found someone, she said that there weren't any in the back either. She suggested getting it online, since the registry I printed out said it was available online. I asked customer service if there was going to be a shipping charge and they couldn't tell me. (so obviously I couldn't get it waived if there was...that was one of the reasons we went with a crib at Target). I get home and look it up, only to find out that it is only available in stores. I called customer support because my coupon was good only for one day, and they were no help. Dad ended up going to a target closish to his house to get it. (In comparison, I was having problems with the Toys r Us coupon code, called customer support, and two minutes later had a better coupon code.)
Anyway, back to Isaac. He started crying when we left Target and when we got home I found he was overheated. So I put him on the quilt to cool down, and he became a very happy boy, even with a few smiles. (Ben and I have both thought we've seen some, and then Dad agreed.). So, we of course took lots of pictures.
Getting more animal tails.
So he could meet the monkey.
And bite his nose
We played Dominion with Tony and Christian. We managed to still get two games in, even though both boys needed more attention. At least they actually saw each other awake this time. They're making progress as friends.

Thursday: flurry's new perch
Flurry has found a new favorite location. There is a waist high uh...bannister? by the stairs going to the basement. She can walk back and forth on it and see everything that everyone is doing.
In other news, Isaac has gone to bed easily two nights in a row. I probably just jinxed it. But it was awesome.

Wednesday: decipus
This afternoon, in the middle of a bunch of crying, I thought I'd see if Isaac's diaper needed to be changed. I got him on the changing table with his diaper off and noticed he was enthralled with my shadow on the wall. After putting a wipe over him to contain any mess, I made a shadow dog. I quickly realized how limited my shadow puppet knowledge is.
Next I made rabbit ears. Then a decipus. (like an octopus, but with all ten fingers.). When Isaac felt like it, he provided the seaweed for the decipus to eat. (you can see the start of one the picture.)
Isaac was also visited by Haroldette the mouse, daughter of Harold and Haroldina. That went over well also.
After the diaper went back on, Isaac continued to be rather fussy the rest of the evening. (not the whole time, but not his easy-going daytime self either.) I tried to get Flurry to deal with him at one point. She looked at him, he hit her twice, and she left disgustedly. He did go to bed tonight very easily though, so it might have been worth it.

Tuesday: a conundrum
This morning I was going to quickly vacuum the master bath because Flurry made a mess initial while she was stuck there. However, the motor sounded terrible! So I took the vacuum apart so I could look at the motor.
It was full of dirt and cat hair. But here is the conundrum: how do you vacuum the dirt from your only vacuum?
(Isaac was no help in solving that question)
I ended up taking a lot of clumps out by hand. Then I turned on the vacuum to see if it sounded better, and dust flew everywhere! Not really what I wanted, but it did help clean the vacuum.
Isaac was rather fussy in the late afternoon and evening. We moved some clothes out of boxes during this time. It may not have emptied the boxes quickly, but at least there was some progress. The picture looks uncomfortable, but it was the only way he'd be quiet.

Tuesday: getting up
Sometimes I think Isaac mainly gets me up because he has to poop. He might snack, but the main event is the poop.

Monday: relaxing
Today was a relaxing day. I did get a few things done, but not because I had to. I think I only emptied one box, although several other things got done too (the laundry never stops!)
I started a puzzle last night because I've really wanted to do one for a while but it just didn't work out.
