Isaac 8 months
A few weeks ago, Isaac started pulling himself to a standing position. He pulls himself up to the fireplace landing and holds himself there, looking around all proud-like. He isn't cruising yet. His goal now is to try to pull himself up using every surface, toy, and living thing in the house.



He is also crawling "correctly," up on all floors with his tummy off the ground. He no longer looks like an army guy in combat.



Just now, Jerry looked at Isaac and started singling a song that went, "la la la," and Isaac started repeating him. He said, "la la la da da da..."

The other day I was holding him and patting his back, trying to calm him down for a nap. He very slowly but deliberately started patting my shoulder. Like twenty times.

He loves to eat real peas in his high chair. He just crams them in by the fistful. He also loves rice cereal. He hates carrots.



Halloween Picts
Jerry was Napoleon Dynamite (80's nerd) and I was the nerdier girlfriend. Our picts are too realistic for me to post. Really, we look pretty bad. Or good, depending on how you look at it. The kids' pictures look cute, though.

I didn't have time to resize all these pictures correctly, so sorry about the sizing issue. Hey, at least I posted them!
