Tuesday: mouth

Today's theme was mouth.  But let's be honest, it is really just a reason for me to take pictures.  

This is Isaac's mouth.

He uses it to give kisses. (Sort of)

And to eat bibs. (I just got a bad picture of him doing it.)

And rings.

Mouths are also used to "EAT YOUR FACE OFF!"

We also visited Betsy and Ethan!  Ethan and Isaac weighed the same when they were born...it's amazing to see how much Isaac has grown (and how heavy he's gotten.)

And finally, no support!  (Although, it lasted pretty much just long enough for me to take a picture.)

Monday: covers

When Ben and I went to bed last night, we noticed that the covers were skewed; there as a sheet corner between us and a quilt corner between us.  Who was stealing the covers?!?

Amanda was stealing the sheet.  Ben was stealing the quilt.  The blanket in between the two stayed even.

How does this happen?  It actually happens to us all the time. I understand one person stealing all the covers, but just one layer?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Sunday: super baby

Today we had a super-baby for a few minutes.  But then we had to turn the cape back around to catch the drool.

We also had a life group initial meeting today.  (Life group = small group = Bible Study)  This one went a lot better than the one in September.  And we have another date scheduled, so that's nice too!

Saturday: lots of stuff

The day began by the microwave breaking.  Bother.  But then I fixed it!  It was just a blown fuse.  But I'm not really sure how I even knew that microwaves had fuses...

Isaac sat on his own for about 20 seconds.  Not long enough for any pictures, but long enough for Ben and I to get excited.

I helped some friends move (although I wasn't able to help for very long).

We went to Scarlet's birthday party.  Allison made a gorgeous (and delicious) cake and it was nice to see people again.

Friday: 16 weeks and other fun stuff

Isaac is 16 weeks old!  This past week he started peeing while getting his diaper changed at night.  I find this extra problematic because by the time I realize what's going on, everything is all wet.  Then I can't think straight, so half the time I get him all redressed before deciding that the clothes are really too wet to continue wearing.  I'm working on keeping him covered better, but there are just some points during a change when that isn't possible.

Here he is looking out the window.  He had a rather grumpy day requiring a bit more holding than normal.  However, he also had an extra tiring day, so he slept a lot.

I got to talk with Jess today and that was a lot of fun...we haven't done that for about a year.  I finally found our hammer.  My first quilt pattern sold for the first time.  I put a new walker foot on my sewing machine and tried a new stitch.  Hooray!

Wednesday: this and that

Isaac and I were going to go to story time at the library, but instead we had house nap time.  (Flurry napped too.)

I put up our clothes line!  Isaac finally sat in the Bumbo seat without crying his head off, so he helped me at the very end after he woke up from his nap.  

Ben and I went to see Hunger Games...it was really good.

Tuesday: toys

Here is Isaac playing with his toys.  He started out with his head at the top of the screen, but saw the taggy blanket and managed to rotate himself.  He was proud of himself for rolling.  I told him he was rolling about the wrong axis.  I know it is still early for him to be rolling onto his stomach, but it wouldn't surprise me if he does it sometime here.  It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't though, either.

The whole video is about the same...nothing all that different happens after the first 20 seconds.  And I'm pretty sure his mouth keeps opening because he wants the rattle to go in it.


In other news, Isaac got size 3 disposable diapers today!  Size one goes to 14 lbs and size three starts at 16.  We don't use enough diapers to justify getting a whole pack for one pound.
