So, this morning Isaac ended up sleeping in until 8:00am (with one feeding)! Hooray! He's often been taking only two naps instead of three and I'm wondering if that is helping.
We are trying to slowly change Isaac's sleep schedule since Daylight Savings Ends tomorrow. The last few days he's stayed up about fifteen minutes later and we were going to try for a half hour tonight. Except that Isaac pretty much had a meltdown. Ben and I have never seen him like that before...usually if we pick him up and/or do something with him he'll calm down. But not tonight. We skipped the bath and ended up back at his normal bedtime.
Tomorrow will be fun. :(

Friday: 44 weeks
I said last week that the heart was Isaac's favorite toy, but this week it was these jingle balls. Originally marketed as cat toys, Flurry wanted nothing to do with them. Isaac loves them. It's nice because we can hear were he is and there are six of them, so they've spread through the house. But if you give Isaac three of them he's entertained for a while since he only has two hands and keeps dropping one to pick up the third.
Trying a new pose...I'm not really a fan, but we didn't get many pictures that turned out this week.
And cuteness in a box. Why are kids and pets so cute when they're in boxes?

Thursday: sleeping in
Today was a lovely day. Isaac slept in until 7:17. I think it's funny that I now consider 7:17 to be sleeping in.

Wednesday: Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
Isaac learned a new trick...standing in his crib. Needless to say, it's hard to sleep when you're standing.
We visited Dad so we could show off the shirt with more physics books and a physicist.
This shot is a bit random, but a few weeks ago a big black spider suddenly dropped down in front of my sewing machine. (Although not as big as the one shown.) It freaked me out a bit.
Isaac went to visit all the great-grandparents in his Halloween costume. I forgot to get one of him by himself. Maybe tomorrow.

Tuesday: 10 months and waves
Today Isaac turned 10 months!
Here is a video of Isaac talking. Ben played it for Isaac a few times and he would talk back to himself. :) But I'm not sure it'll be interesting for anyone but Ben and me.
We also drove to the beach to see the waves from Hurricane Sandy. There were tons of people that had the same idea. The waves were large, but possibly not large enough to have warranted a trip. The wind was cold, so we took some shelter in the lee of a little building.

Sunday: naps
One reason I love the weekends are because Ben lets me take long naps. Yesterday it felt like I slept the morning away with a 2.5 hours nap. (Although before hand I did get groceries and put them away.) Today's wasn't quite as long, but still about two hours.
I've been taking my naps in the morning if possible lately. That way if something happens in the afternoon and I don't get it, I've still taken my nap for the day. (Or, periodically, if Isaac doesn't sleep long during his first nap there is still a chance for a second nap.) It often feels weird going back to sleep around 8:45am, but I'm just going with it.
I often feel like I might be napping too much, but if I compare how much sleep I got pre-Isaac and post-Isaac I'm still not getting less now. Which is fine...it helps justify all the naps that I take. :)

Saturday: basement
Weird happenings in the basement today.
1) We were getting a few more things arranged and unpacked, and we were deciding were to put the dart board. We decide the ideal location and start measuring. Then we notice a bunch of random holes in the wall...apparently we weren't the first to think it was a good place for a dart board. (We'll be putting cork behind it though.)
2) Ashlyn brought over some puzzles for Isaac to play with and one of them makes sounds when you put the correct piece in the hole. Neat. Ben and I played with that one a while trying to figure out if we could make the wrong pieces still cause a sound. Isaac played with it a little longer, leaving some of the pieces out. As we were leaving the ambulance went off. Weird. Then Ben came out into the basement room. As he left I turned the light out again and the ambulance went off. And again. And again. Apparently one of them is extra sensitive and likes to make noise.
