Tuesday: 15 months

Isaac turned 15 months a few days ago, but I just got the pictures today...


He's walking all over the place by himself, now, so I thought I'd try a new quilt shot...I like it.

He really likes pushing buttons and got on my lap to push the camera buttons.

And was then so sad when I made him pose again.

Back to being super cute!

Ben and I can tell that he's starting to understand a lot more, although talking is still pretty slow.  He probably has mama, dada, and something for kitty.  He's good at communicating through motions and noises though.  He's also started to fold his hands while we pray, put random objects up to his ear like a phone, and point to various body parts.  The problem is that he likes to point to his hair while he has dirty hands due to eating.

Monday: april fools, by Isaac

10:30pm, Sunday: Isaac wakes up really upset, but motions to Ben that he wants to be put back in his crib.
1:30am: Isaac wakes up really upset, but doesn't calm down with Amanda.  Back to the crib.
3:30am: Isaac wakes up really upseat, but calms down after ten minutes.
7:24am: Amanda wakes up and realizes that her alarm and her Backup Alarm (Isaac) didn't go off!!  She's late!
7:25am: Amanda double checks her clock, noticing that the alarm is on, the time is correct, and that the am/pm is correct.  She decides that this was part of Isaac's April Fool's joke since he has recently started playing with her clock.
7:42am: Amanda and Isaac head out the door, thanks to Ben's help
7:59am: Amanda gets to class with a minute to spare.

Sunday: happy Easter

He is Risen!  He is risen indeed!

We didn't go to church due to colds, but still had a family devotion time.

Thursday: cold

I got a cold today.  Just enough to make me annoyed and not feeling great.

I also got a new iron!  And some crackers.  I thought that I had purchased two boxes, but I cannot find them.

See...I'm a little loopy.

Tuesday: this and that

I remembered to go to work this morning. :)

Isaac carried around his sleeping buddies a bit today.  Sometimes he is more willing to give them hugs than me.

He also seemed a little bit under the weather this evening.  So we didn't go play racquetball.  It was one of those things were I wasn't sure he was feeling bad enough to cancel, but then it was a good choice.  After dinner and some medicine Isaac seemed much better.

Monday: coming home

We made it home.

Phew.

Isaac started with a rough time on the airplane...he wouldn't sit still.  We finally took off and so I gave him some baby food in a juicebox type container.  It was really clean the last two times we used it.

It was not clean this time.  But...Isaac finally contented himself by playing with the burp cloth I got out to blot things off.  And then Ben finally got him to sleep and he slept most of the way.

See all the orange?

Although Florida was really nice, it's also nice to be home.  Isaac and I took good naps this afternoon.  Flurry was happy to see all of us.

Too bad we have to go back to work tomorrow.  I'm really afraid I'm going to forget to set my alarm and Isaac will decide to sleep in.

More Florida

I got so into relaxing during Florida I didn't do a very good job of posting.  But here are a few more photos that were taken...

On the boat.

Besides going in the hot tub, Isaac's favorite activity was going in and out of the door.  Seriously.  He did it for hours whenever the door was open.  And it was really funny to watch, because in order to not hurt himself he had to take a giant step/crawl over the bottom.

And splashing.
