Where'd we go? 10/17/09
Sorry about the long lapse between posts. My new job has been good and keeping me very busy. I also threw out my back a couple weeks back and haven't been up and about much, but its doing much better now.
Anyways, on to the important things that have happened in the last 3+ weeks. Isaiah's been making some pretty big strides lately. The last Monday in September he finally started started acting like he wanted to crawl. Mainly it was the bringing the knees up under him, and then collapsing as he tried to move forward. Not even a full day later Rachel calls me at work all stressed out because Isaiah is driving her crazy getting into everything and crawling all over the house. It took him little less than a day to master crawling, which while great, scared the crap out of us because we had been lazy and had yet to babyproof everything and get gates. As soon as I was home from work we ran out to Babies'R'Us and bought a couple gates and cabinet locks and all of the other good stuff you need. Lately he's even starting to pull up on things already and sits on his knees a bunch now.
The other big news is that Isaiah has cut some teeth now. He has 1 tooth cut on both the top and bottom (both the front center right) and at least 2 more on their way to cutting through in the next couple days (both the front center lefts) Since they started coming in he hasn't been liking the pureed foods and being fed by me or Rachel and only wants to feed himself. He's had lots of cheese, cereal, bits of bananas, avocado and the like. While it now takes easily 2-3 times as long to feed him, we're extraordinarily happy he's feeding himself and enjoying it so much. He's learned the sign language gesture for 'more' and uses it all the time. We've got to start working on some more signs so we can differentiate what he wants (food, milk, juice, etc) but he's off to a good start, and it'll come in handy for post surgery next month when we won't be able to go off his visual cues as much while he's swollen during his recovery.
