Thursday: motors

Note to self: if your baby has recently learned how to make the motor sound by vibrating his lips, do not make that sound when doing the airplane to get food into his mouth.  Chances are he'll remember he can do it too.

Wednesday: did you ever see a bear fly?

"Did you ever see an elephant fly 
Well I seen a horse fly 
I seen a dragon fly 
I seen a house fly"  ~Dumbo

What about a bear fly?

To me this looks like a bear and a butterfly.  I tried giving it to Isaac when I thought all the fussiness was from teething.  He didn't want it at all...I think it was too cold.

But in happy news, he seems to be back to his normal self.  Almost...he won't take a pacifier.  I was thinking that we probably needed to give it up soon, so this might encourage us to do so.  He cried for a few minutes before one nap, but besides that he's fallen asleep while nursing.

Monday: unexpected visit

Today was our first unexpected visit to the doctor.  Things were just not getting any better.  I called the nurse first, but since there was a rash to go with it she said to come in.

He has a viral rash.  The doctor wasn't too worried and said to just keep giving him Tylenol/Motrin.  So the rest of the day we vegged.  It wasn't a great day, but knowing that he was sick helped a lot.

It's supposedly a 72 hour thing.

Monday: unhappy seven months

Last night went very poorly. I started counting the days until it would be a good time for sleep training.

But then Isaac wasn't himself today either. Some of the people we saw didn't really believe me because he had smiles,but he was not acting himself. Teething??

After a rough beginning to tonight too, Isaac and I decided to sleep in the guest bedroom. Hopefully it helps.

Oh, it is his seven month birthday. Hopefully I'll get some pictures tomorrow.

The VBS finale was today at church.  I'm going to admit, it was actually a little disappointing.  Not because they did a bad job with the service, but because adults don't exude the same energy as kids when singing.  And when saying good morning.  Nor do they get excited by having a person in a monkey costume come down the aisle.

So while I didn't love volunteering, it was really good for me to see the joy of little children.

Saturday: loud

Isaac has gotten loud the last few days.  He realized that he can shriek (shreek?  shreak?) and does it with gusto.  We've had to stop talking a few times because we couldn't hear each other.

The video has an example around 0:12.  It might sound quiet, but the whole movie is quiet.
 

Friday: weeks 29 and 30

Sorry I'm late with the post.  Last night we were watching the Olympics and today has been rather busy.

Here are last week's shots:

This week's shots:

It was the last day of VBS.  I again didn't make it into any photos, so here is our quarter of the auditorium.  Just to give you an idea of the sea of kids that there was.   Oh!  You can see me in this picture.  I'm the one standing against the wall in a white shirt.  We had too many kids for the number of chairs in our row.
