Wednesday: Roar

Isaac was having a rather happy day; he was laughing more easily than normal.  Then I read a book to him and it kept saying "shhh, listen for the lion."  So I was reading it rather quickly.  Then ROAR!!  I scared him so much he started crying.  It took him a while to settle back down.

Oops.

Tuesday: why I felt like a bad person

Today I felt like a bad person because I was pulling out flowers with no reason other than I didn't want them.

Only bad people don't want flowers, right?  Good people want flowers.  So I gave five bushes a probationary period.

It isn't looking to good for them as I proceeded to sit in the hot sun for the next 10 minutes and try to get grass out of the middle of them.

Monday: Flurry and Isaac

Flurry and Isaac slowly seem to tolerate each other more and more.  As in, Flurry doesn't always run away and Isaac is noticing Flurry more.  (I'm quite sure he said 'kitty-cat' the other day.)  I even managed to get four pictures of them together in burst mode!  (Although to be fair, just before I got the camera they were sitting near each other for about a minute.)

This is the best one.  Flurry looks like she's about to eat Isaac.  Isaac looks scared.

In other news, there's a strong maybe that Isaac rolled from his back to his front.  It's only a maybe though because he rolled right back to his back again, making it very hard to tell.

Sunday: a list

I've thought of three milestones for Isaac that I feel are important but people don't talk about as much.

1. Grabbing...he does this now and it makes him so much more independent.
2. Returning the pacifier to his mouth...and then letting go of it. Alternatively, not taking it out in the first place.
3. Temperature control, such as moving to a new spot in the crib to cool off or putting a blanket over himself. (I know...I have a ways for that one. But I can still look forward to it.)

In other news, we swam in the lake for the first time. Cool but enjoyable.

Friday: Happy Birthday

For Isaac's 23rd week birthday, we'll start with a funny face.  But at least he isn't moving much.

He really wanted to show everyone his feet today.  They kept popping up.

He is getting better at sitting.

Happy Birthday to Dad too!!  Everyone got together to celebrate.

Wednesday: a nice day

Today was a lovely day.  Isaac and I went over to Cheryl's to pull weeds.  There were a lot of weeds, but it looked so much better when we were done.  After lunch Isaac and I both took a nap.  And it was a good one. Close to two hours, and Isaac only woke up once.  Sometimes he wakes up in the middle and has trouble getting back to sleep...and by the time he does, I'm too awake to go back to sleep.

The surprise of the day came at 5pm when I pulled the chicken out of the fridge where it had been thawing.  I thought I had pulled out strips, but got some cubed chicken instead.  I had been planning on putting on a "Roman Rub" that I recently got and grilling the chicken strips.  After much debate, and not being able to figure out anything else to do with the cubes at such late notice, I decided to put them on foil and grill them anyway.  They tasted delicious.

Side note

I just took off comment verification.  I had put it on because I was getting a lot of spam, but it's been a while so I'm going to try having it off again.

This means it's easier to post comments!  (Nudge, nudge.)
