Isaac, 18 Months

Isaac turned 18 months old on Monday.  Some updates on this sweet, handsome guy.


  • He no longer uses a bottle!  
    • An explanation:  Nate gets up with him in the mornings, often around 6:30 and after a diaper change and milk and coffee pouring they watch something together- the last two days has been Bob the Builder.  A few weeks ago (maybe less) Nate called and told me he had actually bitten the nipple off the bottle and probably swallowed some of it.  Later that day the kids and I went to Marshall's and found some new cups:) He has done great with them and then this week, really wants his sisters cup- so I guess we should have fully upgraded sooner!  He has also been getting a lot more teeth which should also be part of this explanation.  I havent dared put my finger in his mouth to figure out how many more, but his fingers are often there which I think is proof.
  • He is saying so many more words and sounds and definitely understands and communicates.  If you ask a yes or no question he will nod his head to answer appropriately.  I have been a little too thankful he doesnt say NO yet, so I am sure that is around the corner.
  • He dances when there is music by fist bumping above his head.
  • He is starting to really love trucks- pointing them out when we see them and vrooming our toy ones all over the house.
  • He gives kisses and hugs and I love them.
  • He and Olivia started going to bed together at the same time and for the most sleep through the night!!!! This is huge as we expect a new baby soon and has been such a blessing.  I am not even sure exactly how it happened or when but I am SO thankful we and they figured out this routine so early and so well!!!  Lets pray it continues even with newborn cries next door.
  • He seems to hit his head every other day and almost always has a bump on his forehead:(  
  • He has a killer smile.
  • He does like to  hit and throw things/ push people.  We are working on it:/
  • Olivia started school today so I am hoping to make the most of my mornings with this guy who is soon to become a middle child.  His doctors appointment is Monday so I will try to update his size then- but he wears 18-24 month clothes for the moment.  And Olivia's crocks from last summer!
