To Crawl or Not to Crawl

This past week Isaac has been testing his limits.

While doing tummy time, these days Isaac is not very interested in rolling over (that's old news). But instead he enjoys a good round of "superman" and most recently learning to scooch!

And while in the tub since he has mastered floating on his back comfortably, he now wants to only practice sitting up. Since while he is on dry land he can do it all by himself for a few seconds...this ladies and gentlemen are what we are most currently working on. Michael and I are thrilled that Isaac feels so confident!





And just to add a little preview of our starting solids with carrots.

3 and 4 month update

3 months

Time has flown by, Isaac flies by his developmental milestones. This month we had a 2 week visit from Grandma! Isaac learned to click his tongue. He began to smile and laugh. He is sleeping well, co-sleeping has worked out really well for all of us. Because we are all sleeping at night. 

We are also officially 100% using cloth diapers, his rash has completely gone away. And not only are we saving money we are saving the environment as well. We are still using disposable wipes, but I do have a recipe for reusable ones that once all the wipes are gone we plan to start using.

Isaac continues to enjoy swim class, and he is getting more comfortable with floating on his back. Working with Isaac in the tub has caused him to excel when he is in the pool. We also have gone to the rec center for $5.50 to take Daddy swimming. Michael was very impressed with how happy Isaac is in the water. But also a bit timid to do the "swimming" positions with him, we'll wait till the summer for more practice.

4 months

Isaac continues to smile and laugh, he now loves to test his lungs and squeal, and sometimes scream (so when we are driving it is hard to tell if he is upset or just having fun). Isaac has also started to babble to himself a lot more, especially in the car, so I've started to leave the radio off so I can enjoy these sweet moments).

He wants to sit up assisted all the time now, and loves to stand. He still loves tummy time and doesn't roll over as much anymore but he does love doing "superman". We bought him a used exersaucer for $25, and only place him in there for about 10 minutes till his neck gets stronger but he sits well and loves the light up/singing toys since he's never had that experience before.

From 3.5months on he has started to drool more and chewing on things for teething, lately (he's now 4.5 months as I write this update) he chews on his fingers all the time. And he has started to do the "raspberries" with his lips/blow bubbles alllll the time, and I mean all the time. He is so amused by this new trick he can do that he even can manage chewing on his fingers while doing it.

Last week we did visit my parents in Texas, but I plan on another post for that update, but we did have a great visit, and the flight wasn't too bad there on the way home, was not fun at all. And Isaac develomptally and physically has blossomed just in the 10 days we were gone!
