19 Weeks

Isaac is now 19 weeks old!

News this week:

* Found his thumb! He'll stare at his hand and move his fingers back and forth as if he's thinking, "Hmm, which finger should I stick in my mouth this time?"

* Started whining. I think he's having a bit of separation anxiety. He whines and wants to be held constantly... when he's tired, that is. Whenever Josh or I hold him, he holds on (to our shirts, to my hair, etc.). Josh calls him a "little clinger-onner."

* Definitely drooling... yuck. He blows spit bubbles, too. His face and hands are constantly getting wiped.

* Loving his stuffed animals. He'll smoosh them in his face and "eat them."

* Still pretty happy most of the time. We love to get him laughing by making silly noises or tickling him! Otto and Sophie entertain him, too. He giggles as he watches them play.

* Moving into more 6-9 month clothing, but still mostly in 3-6. He's officially past the safety requirement for his infant carseat. So, we strictly use his big boy carseat and only use the infant carseat as a carrier (ie. in the shopping cart).

* Showing his temper a little more often. When he's mad, he'll clench his fists, stomp his one foot, get red in the face, and cry. Oh, boy!

* Still a horrible napper, but wonderful night-time sleeper. I'm still reading the book I mentioned last week about solving this problem and hope to have a plan in action soon. Yesterday, it took me 45 minutes to get him down for his morning nap and then the little booger only slept 45 minutes. It was a draw. I can laugh about it now, but it wasn't funny yesterday.

* Not rolling over yet, but has "almost" made it.

* Is a HUGE fan of his Jumperoo toy. He's really gotten the hang of it. When we smile at him, he smiles back and jumps even faster.
