Somehow my to do list managed to explode and it was extra long today. So, as I normally do, I mentally figured out what absolutely needed to be accomplished. Then I added a few things to the mental list (like take a nap).
I didn't even come close to getting the things that absolutely needed to be done done. I did get a nap though. And now I really, really need to get the remainder of the things done tomorrow. It's a shorter list though, so I have hope.

Sunday: a package
We received a package on Friday!
Yes, I am once again posting about Chicken Enchillada. We were super excited when we came to Holland to find a grocery store, that we even went to once in a while, that had it. But I've now checked all the grocery stores (5) in the area and none of them have it anymore. Ben suggested Amazon. I was only going to order one, but ended up with two due to free shipping. We'll use them eventually. (We don't eat many helper meals, but this is our favorite. And it doesn't require any thinking ahead.)
Having groceries shipped to my front door was rather nice.

Saturday: birthday party
Isaac attended his first birthday party today!
Dad had fun with the balloons.
(So did Isaac.)
He cared more about the fan than about coloring.
But did enjoy his pumpkin sticker.

Friday: 40 weeks
Isaac has now been in the outside world longer than in the womb. Well, I guess he technically has been for a few weeks now.
It's getting impossible to keep him on his back long enough for pictures, so we might start switching it up a bit.
He also started crawling backwards this week.

Thursday: clothes and rain
Today Isaac and I both wore grey and white striped shirts. I didn't realize it until 1pm.
We also went for a walk with some friends as it was a beautiful day! We got caught in a little rainstorm on our way home, but no one melted. Isaac even fell asleep.

9 months/39 weeks
More pictures!
The standard two. Isaac was feeling wiggly.
So I held him down.
Another monkey joined us this month.
And he was having way too much fun playing with his puzzle to look up.
We also took some shots with the white sheet. They didn't turn out quite as well as at 6 months, but I'm not sure I tried as hard. It also doesn't help that he moves more and he really wanted to play with the side of the sheet.
(As a side note, when I dropped him off at nursery today one of the helpers that was inside and couldn't see me said, "oh, it's the smiley baby!" It's very true. He's a rather happy person.)

Monday: pictures of Isaac
Today we went back to visit Grandma. He wore a special shirt for the occasion.
Everyone always says that kids like the cheap "toys" the best. Today I gave Isaac the plastic container from some cookies to play with. It was loud and crinkly and he chased it all over the floor.
