Isaac is 9 months!

Our little boy is clocking in at nearly 19 pounds and is 28 inches long!! He's army-crawling at top speed and investigating anything and everything now. It's all I can do to keep up with him these days!!! I rearranged his nursery to make it fully baby-proofed, including nailing the bookcase to the wall, and R installed a baby gate which turned his room into a giant playpen. At this point that's what's keeping me sane! At least I can run to the bathroom without worrying what he's going to get into! Smile.

R got Isaac a pool and took him for his first swim a couple weeks ago. Isaac LOVED it; splashing himself and everyone else within radius! It's been so hot here this summer that swimming is about the only outdoor activity that isn't miserable! We do still use the tree swing on occassion in the mornings before it heats up too much.

Isaac has two teeth now, earning him the endearing nickname of "Dos Dentes". He's working on a couple more upper teeth which have been giving him fits, but overall he's been a trooper! With the teeth has come more variety in the highchair! Isaac newest fave is blueberries! And he eats cheese and cheerios and cooked carrots all by himself! Yes, I'm pretty proud of him!

Yesterday was his doctor appointment and he was given a clean bill of health! They had to prick his finger for a blood test. I think R and I hate those pokes more than Isaac does, so we were being all comforting, waiting for the screams. The nurse pricked his finger and Isaac just sat their and watched her as she squeezed blood into a little tube. No fussying, so squirming, just curiosity! Such a brave boy!

I don't know if anyone still reads this since I'm so erratic with my posts, but here's to all those faithful followers who will read this! Cheers!!
