Noah David...
~ is crawling and officially "into" stuff. He doesn't like for me to be out of his sight for too long, so that (so far) has minimized too many mishaps.
~is pulling up! I wondered how he'd develop this skill since he doesn't sleep in a baby bed, but he has not wasted any time figuring out how to get to the couch or a chair or one of us lying in the floor to pull up. He can't figure out how to get down from a standing position yet, which is sad and funny all at the same time when he's "stuck", but it'll be only a matter of time before he's chasing DI around this house I just know it!
~ is also VERY proud of his ability to wave and clap and dance. He giggles at himself and his new tricks.
~has two bottom teeth!
~has begun taking naps in his pack 'n play in DI's room. (sniff sniff) BUT he's done GREAT and loves to be able to stretch out.
~as of last night, slept some of the night actually IN the co-sleeper and not right beside me. We're all having to adjust to this, but since he's been crawling, he needs more space to move around in his sleep...sweet boy. We all still love sleeping closely, though.
~weighs 23 lbs and 3 oz. and can fit into DI's 18 month clothes...we'll get more of an update at his 9 month check up soon. Still enjoying nursing a lot and lots of different food. Big tub of joy!!!
~continues to be super happy and delightful. He is such a joy and is truly a gift and blessing. Wow, we adore this precious squishy angel!!!
Daniel Isaac...
~reported last night that he plans to ask Caroline to marry him when he is 4, 5, or 10 years old. He also plans to get her a "jewel" instead of a ring. He says it will be a pink jewel.
~told me he wants 15 kids when he's a daddy. We may need to warn Caroline now.
~officially looks like a "little boy" and not a toddler. This is both happy and sad.
~LOVES tumbling and is really good, too!
~LOVES anything super hero, and wore his cape to CBS and slept in in last week. And yes, he fully expects to be called by whatever super hero he's impersonating that day. Thank Goodness for sweet, understanding teachers. And yes, he does fly from furniture.
~is hysterical, smart, adorable and totally delightful. Below is the most recent laugh we got...
Daniel was asleep with Daniel Isaac in his bed this morning. (Sometimes Daddy falls asleep lying down with him and is so tired from all his hard work doesn't make it to his big boy bed with Mommy...and while Mommy and brother miss him terribly, we think it's really sweet and know it's a special treat for DI, so we don't wake him) DI wakes up and says...
DI: "Daddy, it's light time!" (He makes this announcement every morning at sunrise or just before)
Daniel: "How can you tell?"
DI: "Daddy, I'm an expert in light time."
Daniel: "Oh."
DI: "I'm also an expert in ice skating."
