Sunday

Today was a very nice day with Nathan and Liz (and Dad and Pat).  In the afternoon we went for frozen yogurt and took a walk around Hope, marveling at how many things have changed.

Friday: yesterday

I finished my puzzle two days ago.  I decided not to do the borders because 1) they were boring white and would have been difficult and 2) my table wasn't quite big enough.  Isaac helped me take it apart and he was really good at that part.  :)

Today kind of felt like it dragged a little bit.  One reason might be that Ben gave me my birthday present early and I was excited to use it tonight.  He got me a pair of cordless headphones.  I've had such trouble lately with my corded ones...they keep tangling in the chair as I go back and forth between the sewing machine and iron.  And so far they've been awesome!

Wednesday: 19 months

Isaac is 19 months today!


He also got a haircut.  It's a little sad, but he really needed one.

He's doing great with sleep and the average time he's waking up seems to be pushing a little bit later.  He also wakes up happy, so I have a little bit of time between when he wakes up and actually getting him out of the crib.

Isaac really enjoys his B words, including ball, blueberry, bubble, elBow, baby, and burp.  He will also say/sign thank you now when prompted, and we're not sure where he learned that because we didn't teach it to him.

I'm not sure what else is new this month...I think he might have some more teeth.  He sometimes asks where Dad is in the middle of the day.  He's gotten really good at puzzles and duplos.

Tuesday: racquetball

Good evening!  Today is Isaac's 19 month birthday and I took pictures "all" afternoon to have a post ready.  But I just don't feel like dealing with the pictures and I do feel like talking about racquetball, so maybe you'll get the pictures tomorrow.

I was really doing well during racquetball today.  My placement of the racquetball was awesome and I had Ben running all over the court during the first game.  I exhausted him so much that I won the next game!  (Although to be fair, it is handicapped in my favor.)  The third game went back to Ben, but I was still able to hold my own.  Something just worked for me today.

Monday: It's Monday

Nothing all that exciting happened today.  While I enjoyed VBS, it was also nice to have my morning back; I felt like I got quite a bit more accomplished today than I did last week.  It may have helped that Isaac played really well by himself today too.

I guess the "funny" thing of the day was when Isaac had a melt down over the fact that I wouldn't give him a third graham cracker for his snack.  He never gets three.  On top of that, it was only about 30 minutes until dinner was ready.  (I was a softie and let him have a snack anyway.)  But I guess that is a more advanced concept.  The boy does love his grahams.

Sunday: praying

Today was VBS Sunday, so we brought Isaac in with us to "big" church for the first part of the service.  Isaac was sitting on my lap, and one of the pastors did an opening prayer.  Isaac folded his hands, and surprisingly kept them folded.  It could have been that there were some giant mice on stage too.

Anyway, the point of this is that I also had my hands folded and they were right under Isaac's.  It was an awesome picture that I don't want to forget.
