Fun with Family

I am really behind in blogging as usual.  So, once again, here are a few pictures from the last month of our lives. 

Isaac is now very busy.  There is no such thing as sitting still.  He is doing the following: 

1. clapping

2. signing "more"

3. standing in crib

4. pulling up on everything

5. walking around furniture a little

6. pushing a walking toy

7. mastered drinking out of a sippy cup

8. eating all sorts of finger foods

It is nearly impossible to take a picture of him these days.  I have to make sure he does not jump off the couch.

 

Tanya and Adam were in town for a rugby tournament so Isaac got to meet Adam!

I love you Daddy!

Happy Halloween

I think the pictures speak for themselves. Isaac went to the pumpkin farm with Grandma and Grandpa and then celebrated Halloween with friends from mom's group. 

 

Can you find Isaac?

Not so tall yet.

  

There were a lot of skeletons

Little Man

It turns out Isaac is not so big after all.  We took him to his nine month appointment a few weeks ago and he had dropped a bit in all percentiles.  He is now in the 20th percentile for height, 25th for weight (18 lbs 11 ounces) and 5th for head circumference.  The doctor was not concerned but I was a little surprised that he is only in the 25th percentile for weight.  He sure seems heavy. The pediatrician said he seems to be right on track for nine months!!!

We have transitioned to more foods including chicken and yogurt.  He is really starting to get the hang of eating finger foods too! 

He has started doing a few new things recently including: waving, sitting up in his crib, opening the doors on the entertainment center and climbing on and over toys.

Presents!

Isaac had fun opening some early Halloween presents from Grandma G. and Great Grandma Grinde.  He especially liked the bags and tissue paper.  Although the books and onesies were fun too!

Visiting Great Grandpa

My Grandpa had a hip replacement a few weeks ago and Isaac has taken multiple trips to visit him.  It is fun to see them interact with each other as it brings smiles to both their faces. 

Splash, Splash, Splash

We started swim lessons a few weeks ago and Isaac is having a blast.  He is the youngest child in his class but it is still fun.  His favorite parts of the class include listening to the teacher give instructions, splashing water all over the place (including in his face) and singing "Pop goes the weasel."  Alex captured a few pictures until he got scolded for taking pictures.

Isaac is listening to the teacher on the left.

"Kick, kick, kick."

He is floating on his back while we sing the ABC's.  Surprisingly, Isaac is very content floating on his back.

 

All he really does is splash in this video.
