Isaac to Joshua: Dag. Dag. Say Dag.
Isaac to Ben and me: I'm teaching Joshua to say Dag.
Isaac: Dag. Say Dag.
I feel like Joshua will really have to work hard to learn to speak correctly.

Friday: pictures
This morning Isaac took two pictures of himself with the Ipad. I find the progression interestng.
First: what happens if I push this button?
This afternoon Isaac had just gotten up from rest time when I heard Joshua wake up. Isaac wanted to play Ipad, so I said he could go get it in Joshua's room. Then Joshua was a bit quiet, with random squeals here and there. I looked at the monitor and saw this...Isaac was playing a game and letting Joshua watch, but Joshua was contained and so not bothering Isaac. Joshua was too loud for me to sleep more, but I was at least able to wake up on my own.

Thursday: smelling
Today's fun activity was do watch a Magic School Bus episode and do an activity. Isaac chose one on smell. We watched the episode, although I'll admit I feel asleep about half way through it. Joshua is still getting up once in the night and then early in the morning and I haven't adjusted my night time sleeping at all.
Then we found a bunch of things to smell. I think Isaac was most excited about the blindfold.
This child doesn't seem to understand how to smell things. He always breathes out with his nose instead of in. (And when trying to blow his nose, breathes in.) It isn't exactly something that you can demonstrate well either, as I have often discovered.
Joshua got in on some smelling action too.
Isaac got onions correct, but everything else he either didn't know or guessed sugar.
We played in the basement a bit.
Isaac dressed himself today.
All day I was trying to get a video of Joshua doing his "pick me up" motion because it is super cute. I was giving up again when Isaac said, "take a picture of me!" So I did...and he said, "Pick me up" with a huge smile.

Wednesday: happy day
Joshua seemed to have an extra happy day today. Except for the few times I walked away from him, but that always seems to be rather traumatic.
He also seemed to deliberately sign "done" twice today. We'll see if it keeps up.
Our gym just transitioned from three racquetball courts down to one. We're pretty sad about it, since racquetball is the main reason that we go there. It felt like an odd set of games for me today...I either missed terribly or did an ok job of aiming.
Isaac's legs have been getting hiccups lately. It's hilarious to watch, as one might expect.

Tuesday: no more vacation
Vacation was done today. :(
I brought goggles for Isaac to use in the pool for "swimming lessons." He wanted to "hang out on the steps." Sigh. I really thought they might help.
Joshua is getting so big. I can't believe he's almost a year old.

Monday: 49 weeks
Joshua is 49 weeks old! I think the sun was a bit bright so we didn't get great pictures today.
He started giving kisses today.
Isaac wanted his picture taken too...183 weeks old.
Joshua came over and gave Isaac a hug. Sort of.
Zach and Jenny left around noon. It was an excellent visit. Then everyone except Ben took long naps. Lovely! I was rather tired. Joshua hasn't been sleeping well.

Sunday: vacation continued
This morning we went for a little walk. Isaac brought his squirters and they helped motivate him to keep walking.
"I'm only squirting some of the weeds."
Ben played peek-a-boo with Joshua while he was in the carrier.
Joshua enjoyed being by Zach. He's apparently pretty silly.

Zach and Jenny made a cake. While Zach was making the frosting, Isaac was in the kitchen doing stuff. So Ben said, "Let me know if he's bothering you." Isaac said, "He's bothering me."
