We had some friends over for dinner tonight. It's always fun to see them. Then we went on a walk to wear the boys out. (Their son is about the same age as Isaac.) It was really fun to watch them interact...they uh-oh-ed to each other and ran together. The other boy tried tickling Isaac to no avail, but Isaac had earlier tried being the follower in follow-the-leader and that didn't really work out either.
Both boys walked most of the way around the lake, so it was probably just shy of a mile. Or maybe a bit over a mile by the time you account for all of the zig-zagging that they did.

Tuesday: today
Early, early this morning Nathan and Liz left. :( We had an excellent day with them yesterday too and it is always sad to separate. But Christmas isn't really that far away.
The rest of the day Isaac and I hung out...we took a walk to Joann's to get a spool of thread. It seemed like kind of a long walk for a tiny item, but Isaac likes strollering and I should walk more. We cleaned up a little bit, took a nap, played, and just did the normal stuff.
We had dinner with Ben's family which was nice as always. Sometimes I feel like Isaac is interacting with them more, and sometimes he's completely oblivious. Like when his cousin gave him a good-bye hug...he just kept looking at something on the back of a car.
edit: Isaac also ate more pizza than his grandpa. He was putting it away!

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.
