Isaac is growing up so fast, and now that I have a little newborn around Isaac seems even bigger! He has proved himself to be a great big brother, but also at times an extremely jealous big brother. I can't blame him though, he got 100% of my attention for 2 years and now all of a sudden he has to share it...I'd be mad, too. Ha! He can be so sweet to Luke...he often holds his hand when we're driving, which is so precious to see! He tells me, "Isaac hold Luke's hand"...then after a few minutes, "Luke let go!" He is always upset by Luke letting go. When Luke wakes up Isaac has to be the first in his room, and he walks right up to him and says, "Hi Luke!" Yesteray when I got Luke out of the swing Isaac smothered him with kisses and Eskimo kisses...Luke had the biggest smile on his face!
Here are some of Isaac's recent favorite things, and some cute things he's recently done:
~He can't get enough of gymnastics, he'd go everyday if we let him! He is constantly doing his forward roll, he hangs on everything, and is beginning to climb more, too!
~Still obsessed with driving his toy cars, autos as he calls them. He was recently given a Jeep PowerWheels, but won't push the pedal to make it drive because he's scared...oh how much fun he'd have if he could get over that fear. He loves driving daddy's truck, he sits on Carl's lap and steers the truck, he's good, too!
~He enjoys swimming, and has great control with his Puddle Jumper (Life Jacket) on. He hates going underwater though, so don't even mention it!
~Every bug to him is a mosquito hawk, no matter what it is! And a couple weeks ago when he was sick with a cold, his nose was really itchy, he said, "Mama, mosquito hawk on Isaac's nose."
~He refuses to nap, but has a 1-2 hour rest time daily...he spends that time talking nonstop, jumping in his bed, and practicing his forward rolls of course.
~He is very interested in the potty, sits on it for a few minutes at a time, multiple times a day, but has not been able to actually go in the potty yet.
~He talks nonstop, we joke that he is going to be a sportscaster when he grows up because he gives a play by play of everything that's going on around him. Recently he has become very specific about who he's talking to, if there's two of us around and I respond to what he's saying, he sometime says very sternly, Isaac tell Daddy...and then repeats what he was saying. This always makes me laugh. He also talks to the dogs a lot more, he gets right in front of them, squats down, and tells them what he is about to do or what he's been doing.
~He is very helpful with Luke, when he wants to be. ;-) He throws away the dirty diapers and brings me my nursing pillow when it's time to feed Luke.
~He has figured out that Luke gets attention when he cries, so unfortunately Isaac is crying more often to get attention. When there is another adult around he often tells that person to hold Luke, and mama hold Isaac.
~He can count to 10 all by himself; he spells his name, mama, and is learning to spell daddy; he is learning his ABCs.
~He has recently developed an interest in coloring, and loves to draw on his magnadoodle.
These past few months have been a huge change for us all, but especially for Isaac, and I am so proud of how well he has handled it all! I am overwhelmed with the joy from my sweet boy.
