Isaac - 8 Months

This canNOT be! My little baby is 8 months old. I just did his 7 month post and I've barely had time to think and now he's 8 months. Mothers probably say this more than anybody else, but time sure does fly........

The biggest news for Isaac at 8 months is that he is ON THE MOVE! Not full-on crawling yet, but scooting (army-crawling) to wherever he wants to go - which includes:

laundry (clean or dirty, he doesn't have a preference)

dog food

CDs/DVDs

electrical wires (don't worry - he doesn't get far on that one)

drawers

dirt (I realize with having a 3-yr-old that this one doesn't wear out - crawling or not)

Although Isaac's new-found freedom makes more work for me, I'm really happy. He was getting frustrated and cranky because he wanted what he wanted and couldn't get it. He's much happier now with his newly acquired skill.

Another big change in the last month is that Isaac has found his older brother. These two can finally play together some and both of them are thrilled. Even if Isaac is just scooting all over the house, Peter will scoot right along with him. Neither one of them seem to care what they're doing, they just want to be together.

They also find each other hysterically funny. Tom, Alana and me do not get it. All they have to do is look at each other and crack up. Boys.

Being the lover of food that he is, Isaac has had some new foods recently and they were an immediate success. Since he had some diaper rash issues, I've been giving him yogurt, but the real biggie is Cheerios. He hasn't mastered picking them up and getting them into his mouth yet, but he loves it when we feed them to him. I can hardly believe this! Eight months seems young to me for Cheerios, but.... Isaac has upper and lower teeth now, so he especially loves to crunch them.

Mr. Chubbs is still a complete delight. I can't imagine life without him. I love him so much!
