Isaac Weekly Update: Week 30

This week started off with us flying back to California from Michigan on the 1st. Isaac again proved to be an excellent traveler. He ate and slept for the first two hours and then was up for about an hour- happy and bouncy and then slept and ate as we landed. For the last month or so Isaac has been pooping every two to three days, but when he does poop it’s an event. On the 1st he decided the Spirit flight would be a good place to have his “event.” When Jake and I travel in the car many times I end up changing Isaac on my lap; my long legs provide a comfortable place for Ike to lay down (though he is getting a little long for this!). After a diaper check and some discussion it was agreed that I would try to change Isaac on my lap in the airplane. Now Spirit airlines is not known for having ample leg room, if anything they hold the record for fitting as many seats as possible on a passenger plane, foregoing comfort for profit. So here we were, poopy baby and little space at midnight. and the outcome? SUCCESS! This was, however, the only time Ike got upset on the plane, though Jake and I agreed that it was valid since his head was pushed up against the tray table while I worked on cleaning him up.

Isaac is still teething, though now all four top teeth and four bottom teeth can be seen poking through his little gums. He likes to rub them together- a habit I hope he grows out of! Isaac also started making a face this week where he scrunches up his nose. He first did this on our walk a couple days ago and then he breathes through just his nose (reminds me of a cat sniffing something with their mouth open or a dog with a foxtail caught in their nose)! It's pretty funny looking. He does it often enough that I am sure I will get a picture of it soon. In this pic he is just coming out of making the face:

Isaac started eating Cheerios this week which has thankfully been very successful. I think he's finally getting into liking solid food. I also gave him some cauliflower the other night which he happily put in his mouth. The dogs are also enjoying the new food introductions, especially the Cheerios. You can find all three dogs huddled under his chair. :)

Here's  a little video I took for Jake the other day. It's our morning chatty little boy:

As a side note to the importance of the day- today marks the 14th wedding anniversary of my brother and his beautiful bride, Kate. Congratulations to them! They make a great team and continue to make a gorgeous family. Love you both to the end of the earth and back.
