8 months

Dec 8th, 2011 marks Isaac's 8th month of spreading intense joy!

So much has changed this month!!!!!!

• Isaac began crawling in all fashions (scooting, sitting on leg crawl, short distance and long!)
• He walks around the room by holding on to any object
• He recognizes his name very well
• He entertains himself with his new found confidence in moving
• Isaac got his first pair of shoes
• He zooms everywhere in his walker
• Isaac has moved to 2 meals a day with a finger food snack sometimes
• He is able to turn pages in books one by one
• He loves all his teething toys
• He tries to stand on/crawl over EVERYTHING
• Isaac reaches for most things that he wants (most of them he is allowed to have)
• He also learned to reach down and pick up things that he drops while standing
• He has started eating lots of new foods
• He has moved to a 2 nap day (instead of 3)
• He is ecstatic when Daddy returns home from work
• He's also gotten quite jumpy recently, being bothered by noises that he didn't notice before
• Isaac thinks everything is fun, funny, and a game--including being told no-no, hiding cords, and crawling over people's faces
• Isaac experienced his first Thanksgiving and and beginning of busy season
• He helps with all sorts of crafting projects, wrapping gifts and sorting donations
• He still loves bath time and gets excited by just hearing the water filling the tub
• He always tries to pull the plug to drain the water in the tub-it's probably his favorite thing to do
• He thinks it's hysterical when Mommy or Daddy put his pacifier in their mouth, giggles about it and pulls it away.
• Isaac seems to recogize when he does a new thing-or something new to him-and claps or cheers for himself
• He tries standing by himself and has stood for  about 30 seconds alone
• He has stayed in the nursery a few times now with people he likes (and no Mommy or Daddy)
• And of course he babbles away with all sorts of cute noises and clicks

Our new favorite (or shall I say most used) phrase in the house has been "How'd you get over there?" 

The is so fun and such an adventure! I love every day more and more!

pictures coming ;)
