We got a balloon in October when we went to a birthday party. It headed to the basement, where it got played with a medium amount. Yesterday it managed to come up the stairs and was played with a lot. Today it shrank. It must have been a very tiny leak because it took most of the day for the balloon to get to half its previous size, but shrink it did.
We'll miss you, green balloon.

Saturday: friends
Hanneke and Abby came over for dinner and to just hang out. It was really nice to see them again. (And they oohed and aahhed over Isaac. :)
Yeah, it was really nice to see them.

Friday: cold
I still have my cold, but I think I'm slowly on the mend. This has been one of the worst colds that I've had in a long time. I went through two mostly full boxes of Kleenex, so we took an emergency trip to the store today. But at least my nose only needs to be blown about once an hour versus the once every fifteen minutes that it was last weekend.

Thursday: theme day - monkeys
Isaac has really been enjoying his monkeys (and he knows the word), so I thought today would be a good day for a monkey theme day.
He wore his monkey pjs.
After reading some monkey books, he took a nap with green monkey. Then it was time to wake up and have lunch! I hear monkeys like bananas, so he had some of that. (Notice he's also wearing monkeys.)
Later in the afternoon I put on a movie about monkeys. He was excited at the beginning, but it did not hold his attention at all. However, the Curious George show that we watched while waiting for an oil change captured his attention very well.

Wednesday: curry and light
I made another batch of curry today. It turned out nice and thick. I don't know why. Every batch seems to turn out so differently and (most of the time) I have no idea why.
Dad came over for the curry and then helped us replace the light in the office. There was a fan/light combo that had spotlights for lights. It meant that the lighting in the office was really bad. So now we have a a nice diffuse light. Hurray!

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.
