I have no idea how it's already a month after Isaac's 2nd birthday and I'm just now sitting down to write this post. Oh wait, I do know why--because I spend my days keeping up with this busy, busy boy!
(And, I absolutely love it!) :)
How did we get to this so quickly? I feel like it was just yesterday he was this size....
At his 2 year appointment, Isaac was 28 1/2 pounds and 34 1/4 inches. I'm pretty sure he's over 30 pounds since that appointment. Sometimes it feels like it takes everything I have to lift him! Ha! :)
A few of Isaac's favorite things right now...
- FRIENDS! Isaac gets so excited when I say we're going to see friends or that friends are coming over. Most morning while I'm changing his diaper, I ask him what he thinks we're going to do that day. Usually he says "see friends?" or "friends come?"
TRAIN TRACK We gave Isaac this train track for his birthday, and it's the first thing he heads for every morning. I hear "Mommy, train track?" several times a day. If you ever come over and are anywhere near the train track, Isaac will insist that you hold at least one "Thomas train" (his favorite kind of engine). Even if you don't play with the train track, you have to hold an engine. :) (And, even I have to admit that I'm getting pretty good at building different train routes!) :)- SINGING The songs Isaac most likes to sing right now are "Jesus Loves Me," "Little Red Caboose," "The BIBLE" (which he calls the "Bibo" song), "Old McDonald," and "Holy, Holy, Holy." We just started Bible Study Fellowship last month, and Isaac has learned "Holy, Holy, Holy" in his class there. Whenever he sings it, it sounds like "ho-e, ho-e"--so, so cute.
Each night before bed, we sing "Jesus Loves Me." When we sing "Yes, Jesus Loves..." on the chorus, Isaac used to fill in the blank with his name each time. Lately, though, he's started filling in everyone possible's name! It's hilarious--and takes quite awhile! :) Some nights it goes like this: "Yes, Jesus loves Momma, Isaac, Daddy, Isaac, Daddy, Isaac, Daddy, Isaac, Mamo, ManMan, Papa, Nana." It's so funny when he gets stuck on two names and sings them over and over. I love hearing his little voice!
BEING A BOY Just the other night, Isaac threw his huge stuffed dog down from the landing on our stairs, and before I realized what he was doing, jumped all the way down onto the family room floor! Yikes! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! He goes down the slides at the park head-first, and he also started sliding down our stairs on his belly head-first too. Before Isaac was born, I prayed that Isaac would be an "all-boy" boy...just the other day, my mom said, "I think God answered that prayer more than you ever imagined!" ;)
- BEING OUTSIDE I think he would live outside if I let him. He loves to ride his bike and play in his new rock box. The other day I caught him outside hammering with his Viking helmet on! :)
- TALKING Some of my favorite little words that he says are....Bibo (Bible), hammie (hammer), dobble dobble (gobble gobble), baby (usually means his blankie, though he sometimes means a real baby), hubble hubble (hubba, hubba--yes, Dave taught him to say that everytime he kisses me) ;), hovel (shovel), bulldodo (bulldozer) pee-pee (pizza), ni-ni (broccoli). It's been so fun to hear him put words together and start to say sentences.
"Can I be done yet?" :)
What a big man! I love how the piece of paper for his 2-year picture is all crinkled up! It's a clear sign that a 2-year-old boy had to check it out first! I think if you just leave that hard hat on him at all times, he'll be just fine. :)
