Hard to believe that our little man will be one year old in 4 months! At 8 months, Isaiah continues to be one of the happiest baby boys in the world. He typically goes to bed around 6 until I wake him up for his pre-bed feeding, and then he sleeps until about 6:30 in the morning. He naps between every feeding. He loves eating sweet potatoes and would eat them every day lunch and supper if I let him.
Isaiah’s two bottom teeth came in around Christmas time. The teething process didn’t seem to have any negative effects on him.
Our little man was sick the third week in January. He had a fever for three days and wasn’t his happy self the rest of the week. But even then he enjoyed playing with his new toy from Christmas.
Isaiah continues to do well with going to the potty about twice each day. A few times this past week during meal times I’ve wondered what’s wrong with him. . . food just doesn’t seem to be satisfying. Then I put him on the potty and think “Oh, he wanted to go potty. . . how was I supposed to know!”
Two weeks ago Isaiah started saying “dadadadada.” This week he started saying “mamamamama.” He also makes repetitive kissing sounds. (He loves his frog from Uncle Dan & Aunt Isabelle – picture to the right. The other night I had trouble making out Isaiah’s head since he had pulled the frog over himself.)
People are always asking about crawling. . .no crawling or scooting yet, [Or algebra! I’m so disappointed! -Josh] which makes things easier for me and calmer for Becca.
At Christmas we looked at Josh’s baby pictures to see if Isaiah looks like him . . . no. Later I was showing Becca my baby book and was shocked to open it up and see Isaiah!
I was teaching Becca how to wrestle the other day. We thought we’d let Isaiah in on the action . . . .
Loved the update and all of the pictures! It’s neat for me to see where Megan will be soon. Although, she is on the move. We were in her room this week playing when Jon got home from work, and she had crawled under the little ottoman that’s in her room. Jon couldn’t find her until he saw her feet sticking out. Then she started going for his shoe laces. She doesn’t stay in one place long! Glad little man is feeling better!
Isaiah is adorable! I’m so glad he is better- I just hate it when little ones are sick. I love all the pictures but the wrestling ones are great!
Happy 8 months, Isaiah, and mommy, daddy, and sister. Better watch out Becca, he fights “dirty” going for your face. Josh was always a good baby when he was sick, too. And, although he doesn’t look just like Josh, his hair texture and color, and eyes definitely remind me of Josh at that age. It is fun to see how the Lord takes traits from both parents and makes a new little person – a miracle. He is a blessing! What a handsome little guy!
Those wrestling pictures are fantastic!! Happy 8 Months to Isaiah!!
