I am so unconditionally in love with you. Daddy and I continue to be amazed at your progress thus far. Ever since Mother's Day you have been wanting to say "ga-ga-ga" or any "G" noise. When you were 4 months old you said "Da" for the first time. You continue to babble frequently and scream for fun!
We continue to help you strengthen your muscles in order to sit up/ start to crawl. You can now sit by yourself for a few seconds until you roll into a tummy face plant. You still haven't rolled from "Back to front" but we daily continue to have lots of play time on your back/front. When you are doing tummy time you continue to only want to "super man" or now a recent development is that you like to do "push ups" which is very fun, I am still loving my stationary baby who smiles at me. Isaac you know your name and you also know the word "love" which is adorable to watch you smile after we say this word.
We have a plentiful social calendar these days. We have met so many wonderful Mama's and their babes. I'm so thankful to Swimkids for having their free swim classes for 2-5 month olds (4 months free!). I have met more Mama's to hang out with here than at our INOVA Mom's group. And through Brynn, I have met so many instant friends. Isaac and I usually hang out with Brynn and her LO Benjamin on a daily basis. Through lunches, hanging at eachother's homes, walks, Frying Pan Farm, Claude Moore Rec Center, story time at Ashburn Library and then getting our families together for dinner/ brunches. We also have enjoyed getting to know Katie and her LO Aubrey. Michael and I don't see much of our "old- high school friends" so it is such a joy to be creating great new friends! Especially since we can all understand where we are coming from since we have babies.
We are so fortunate for those free swim classes. We started you at exactly 2 months old, and I am so thankful we have, not only to meet great friends but for you physically. YOU LOVE THE WATER, just like your Mama! I really enjoy the times we are in the pool together, especially now that you are so comfortable in the water. You've learned to hold your breath, for a quick second as you test me when you dunk your self while in the back float position. Hands down this is my favorite activity together.
These days you are mainly chewing on your fingers all the time, you don't seem to like chewing on plastics/ silicon- which I prefer you chew on fabric any ways.
Tonight you started to roll from back to front, with some assistance but the hardest part of actually getting your torso to roll was all you buddy! The best part was you knew what was happening and you were so proud of yourself! We also accomplished today sitting up even more, each day you continue to change and grow, looking back at your newborn, and first couple of months saddens me knowing we can only look forward, but also excited for what is to come.
Love,
Mama
