9 mois et... ma la de

We have had some beautiful weather lately. Isaac has been playing outside on the porch and he loves it. The important news is, Isaac is nine months old today! Wow! It seems like a really big milestone. Like a doubling of how old you are at birth - well, that only happens once in your lifetime.
Unfortunately, we have been sick since last Wednesday, so we didn't party it up too much today...


Isaac stayed home from daycare Wednesday through today. Tomorrow we will test it out and see if he can be okay - not be too clingy or sick. Evidently all the babies have colds right now though. Dangit. Mama is not much better. She's just starting to get the cold...
Isaac had fun with Papa on Wednesday, playing with his hat.
On Thursday, Bumpa came down and Isaac and Bumpa had a great time together. They didn't get into too much trouble, but that's just because they didn't get caught.
On Friday, Nana came down and Isaac was very happy to see her too! So was Mama, since she started feeling sick in the afternoon.

Then on Saturday, we took a leisurely stroll to urgent care for Mama. Well, since it was only 11 blocks away we figured that was fine. It was so nice anyway. Mama got antibiotics.
Papa took good care of Isaac and Mama over the weekend, when all they wanted to do was lay around and whine. He tried to keep everyone in good spirits. He lost his cell phone at church but Isaac's great, great aunt (no, really his great-great-aunt) came to the rescue.
We had wanted to go to the zoo, but maybe we can remand that trip until Mama's birthday. It's coming up soon! If it's nice that day... it always seems like March 7th is a day of strange, strange weather.
Today, Nana came down again to take care of Isaac again. He was doing okay but still had a lot of snot. We are so glad she came down! Not only did she make a delicious dinner, she brought some very tasty key lime pie, which she made from real key limes. Key limes are evidently about the size of walnuts, so you can imagine how much work it was to get 1/2 cup of key lime juice...
Isaac opted to receive his slice via his favorite food. We tried to have him try broccoli but he started gagging. I'm not really sure how this whole "table foods" thing is going to work for him since still he doesn't like anything besides fruit purees. I guess I need to start trying harder to feed him some solid food at home. Or maybe I'll hold off another week until his nine month check up to ask the doctor for some tips.

You can see above Isaac trying to grab his favorite cartoon. He grabbed the computer screen and tried to look behind it for Bouba today. And, here below is a cute video of Isaac and his cousin Louisa from our visit to Seattle! Pretty soon they'll probably be partners in crime...

Maybe I was going to say something else, but you know how the congested mind thinks... Hope everyone else is healthy! Happy nine months birthday Isaac!

  1. Aw, I'm so sorry you guys are sick too. I figured we'd come down with something eventually, we made it almost the whole winter. I hope Isaac can go back to daycare tomorrow!

    Happy nine months little one! I just wanted to tell you that Louisa only liked pureed foods too up until she hit a certain point (I think it was around 10 months) then she started to all of a sudden like a whole variety of foods and textures. I bet it will happen with Isaac too, so don't worry too much! :)
