First of all, here are some pictures from Isaac's time hanging out with Papa these last few days when I was in Eugene at school.
Thursday, when I got home from school, we reveled in the fact that there would be no more homework that night and went for a family walk to the park with my personal favorite baby carrier for walks - our Baby Bjorn. I always feel like since it's a Swedish thing that it's very appropriate for me, but really I think it's just comfortable for everyone. We had a great time swinging. Evidently Henri had already brought Isaac to the park to swing before and he had startled both times, but by this point he was already an old hat at it, so he was pretty darn calm.
We wanted to find some baby sunglasses for Isaac, but these were all they had at Fred Meyer. They still look pretty cool. Isaac looks gangsta.
Then, later I found some polka music on Youtube and we danced and sang to that. We being Isaac and I. I think Henri was making some food or washing dishes or being a responsible adult in some capacity. And I was singing about rolling out the beer kegs.
Finally, yesterday Isaac had his two month check up. If you can't tell from the picture, he's getting pretty fat. He has little manboobs. He's in the 75th percentile for weight, but between the 90th and 95th for height so I guess that's probably just how it goes, and then I think his head circumference is around the 50th percentile finally. It was around the 25th at first, so it's cool that he doesn't have a super tiny head to go with his big body anymore. What that translates into in measurements is 12 lbs 11.5 oz (I think the gain is finally slowing down a little), 24.5 inches long, and 15.75 inches head circumference.
The other thing Isaac had to get were his shots. He had to get seven of them, but only three pokes. Then, for the rest of the day he was pretty tired, fussy, and generally not too happy with the world. Hopefully by Monday he's totally over it though. Today's already quite a bit better.
I did forget to ask the pediatrician about the fact that when Isaac eats, sometimes it sounds like he's got a kind of wet voice during or after. I don't know for sure if it's a problem, but I think it's best to ask, since I heard something about that during one of my classes.
We also went to Eugene to meet up with this Jeff Lang guy that my Aunt Christy told Henri about. It was cool, although maybe Isaac was not too excited about the car ride at that point.
Also, last evening Isaac was looking at his hands and then he touched my shirt and tried to grab the lettering. I think he's getting more understanding of his hands all the time. On an unrelated note, he's also drooling a bunch.
I think that's about it for right now! The morning bath has been served and Isaac is just sitting there calmly while Henri pours water on him. Did I ever mention that I love these boys?
Actually, we just took Isaac out of the water. He was getting a little pruny.
Henri was singing a cute song to Isaac yesterday to Isaac that was a direct adaptation of the opening song to this old French cartoon that he watched when he was little:

Uncle Mikey came over today and Isaac slept on him for quite some time.
