Isaac and I were at the library today, and I had set him on the floor while I grabbed some books. There weren't any books on the bottom shelf, so Isaac grabbed the next highest shelf and pulled himself up. Hurray! (He then tried to steady himself by grabbing books, including Jack London's Call of the Wild. He found out that books move rather easily.)
This is one of the things on his test and something the doctor asked about yesterday. It's good to know that 1) he's listening and 2) he's practicing the right skills.

Wednesday: isaac's first test
Today was isaac's nine month well child visit. He is still a well child. His weight is 17 lb 5 oz which is still small (15%) with a height of 28" (25%). But he's growing and following the same trend as the curves, so the doctor was happy with his progress.
But...he has an assessment test that we need to give him in the next month. The doctor said that we would pass based already on what she could see at the office. But I think we should try for an A+! So we have a few skills to practice. :)

Monday: to do list
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.
