And Isaac Makes Three...: Weekly Update #49

Isaac is now 49 weeks old, a little over 11 months old.

Updates on our chunky monkey:

* Said the word "duck" few times last week. He loves to carry around his plastic bath toy ducks. They feel really good to bite on when he's teething.

* Climbed five stairs at my mom's house... from the landing to the top. He was so proud of himself when he made it to the top! He's been trying to climb on the coffee table here, now. LOL

* Loves playing with wooden blocks and can stack a tower of four blocks by himself. If someone else makes a tower, he grabs a bottom block to knock it over just as soon as they're done.

* Getting pretty cranky about the next two teeth on top. His mouth has been hurting and he's drooling quite a bit. I've given him medicine at night to help him sleep better.

* Napping either really well or horribly these days. Naps have not been easy at my mom's house. Yesterday, I finally had to lay down next to him on a bed to get him to rest in the afternoon. There's just too much excitement, he doesn't want to miss a thing.

* Breathes really heavy and kicks his arms and legs when he sees his Grandma A. He gets so anxious to see her and his face just lights up!

* Wearing Pampers Cruisers again after all this diaper confusion. I think he was ready to move up a size and that was the reason for the leaks we were having. Of course, now I have three different styles/brands to try and use up before I get set on sticking to one kind again. We have been using Huggies Overnight diapers to prevent leaks at nighttime.

* Discovered a sippy cup that he likes this week. I've been trying all sorts with him because all he seemed to like is the kind that have a slit for an opening. While those are fine at the highchair, they don't work in the living room or when we're out. He can tip them over and spill the contents. So, he finally decided he liked these Nuby soft spouted cups without handles. They are spill-proof, so I'm happy!

* Having a wonderful time with his grandma and aunts this week! You can imagine all the attention he's getting.

Enjoy the new pictures!
