Happy Easter!
Today, around dinner time, Isaac came up to me and said, "Are you happy?" I said, "Yes, I'm happy. Are you happy?" He said, "I'm haPPY!" (Yeah, this is a word that really should have had a sound track to go with it.). Then he said, "Is Dad happy?" I told Isaac to go ask him.
"Dad, are you happy?" "Yes, are you?" "Yes, I'm haPPY!!"
It seems appropriate that he should figure out this word and be so excited about it on Easter, a very happy day!

Saturday: Isaac
Isaac had a rather cute morning, and we even got some pictures this time!
To start with, he found the keys that lock my desk drawers. That kept him occupied for about two hours.

Isaac then decided to (literally) try and climb a wall. In his words, "hard." (This was rather hilarious. Although he did have the good sense to try and climb a wall that was jutting out, so he was able to clamp his arms around it.)
Then we had a small Easter egg hunt.
He's figured out to say cheese for the camera, but closes his eyes when doing it.
Ben did his back exercises, and when Isaac noticed the roller was put away he was rather upset. So Ben got it back out for him. He has the right motions, he's just not big or coordinated enough to quite pull it off.

Friday: Good Friday
Good Friday.
It always seems like a weird day to me. Either you do your normal things or you have the day off and you do relaxing things. There are no family get togethers, no expectations of assorted activities. Sometimes we go to church (we did today), but not always.
But yet it is one of the most important days of my faith. Jesus died for me. For me! It was, as always, a day of remembrance, no matter what I end up doing.

Thursday: no watch me
Isaac has been saying "No touch me!" quite a bit lately. This usually means that he doesn't want our help as he's trying to do something, like get off the bed. Sometimes he'll say it while sitting on a lap, which usually makes us laugh.
Yesterday he came up with a new one. "No watch me!" He wanted Ben to watch me get him more food, as that is one of his favorite things lately. When Ben refused, Isaac gave him a hilariously annoyed look.

Thursday: oh baby
This baby is a mover! I feel like he's moving all the time...and while it might be very normal, I didn't feel Isaac this much. (Isaac had an anterior placenta, which just means that I didn't feel him move as much. I was kind of hoping for the same time.) Last night the baby kept kicking Ben too. I felt a little bad for him, but...not too much. :)
It is fun to watch my shirt ripple though.

Tuesday: keys
Last night Isaac was playing with one of my old purses. He's played with it a lot; I thought it was empty (except for the two cat toys in it). Anyway, he's shaking it trying to get something out and a key falls out!
Now, normally this would be really cool. However, last night it was super cool as he has been very into keys and locking and unlocking stuff the last few days. So finding a key was super cool! He spent a good part of today "locking" and "unlocking" doors; several times I had to wait to enter a room so that Isaac could unlock it for me first. He also learned how easy it can be to lose your keys as he spent quite a bit of time looking for a lost key. (I'm not sure where it is right now either...nor do I have an approximate idea of where it might be. We might be in trouble.)
I also keep meaning to post a monthly update for Isaac but just don't feel well enough or am too busy around the end of the month. Briefly, he also really likes zip up sweatshirts, watching me work in the kitchen, doing exercises with Dad, his stuffed animals: Frog, E-E, and Mama's E-E. (Yes, it's name seems to be Mama's E-E. When I'm around, I get to hug that monkey.) He likes to share with Ben and me. Potty training is a little rough lately, possibly due to the diarrhea last week. He's been waking up earlier lately, which is mostly just annoying...it's not so early that I can tell him to go back to sleep, but earlier than I want to get up. He often wants to know right away where Ben is. He likes going out, but is immediately curious when we're going to be going back home. He finally has 1,2,3 down pat (along with 7,8,9,10), but 4,5, and 6 are still a bit troublesome. It doesn't bother him though since you only need 1,2,3 to start a race. And he's still a very happy kid (unless I'm making him put on his own pants. He doesn't like that at all!)

Monday: baby
I had a baby appointment today. The heartbeat was 145 and I'm measuring at 25.5 weeks. A little large but not a big deal. (I'll admit, I just hope it means that the baby will come early. It probably means that I've carried a child before.)
