Nearly Crawling

Isaac has been inexorably working his way up the developmental steps
towards crawling. Just last night he was pushing himself onto his arms
and knees, with his body off the ground, as opposed to the superman
impersonations he often makes.

Our New Home

PATRICK

We've finally moved into our new home. A place where Patrick can run
around and use up his (seemingly) boundless energy. The neighbourhood
kids have already found out that Patrick is a fun guy to hang with, even
if he won't let them ride his yellow truck. It's way cooler than our
last few homes, there is always somewhere cool to be found throughout
the day. Right now Patrick is getting used to his own bed - not
something he's asking for. So the last few nights he's wailed for an
hour or more. Luckily there's an empty lot on his side of the house.


ISAAC

Isaac is loving the new house, too (that is, he loves life). His
favorite thing is to smile at you or me or anyone really. He is also
very popular with the neighbours, but mostly with the teenage
girls/newly married women types. Our landlady loves to hold him also. He
now sits up for a long time, but can't get there himself yet. Though we
expect him to start crawling anytime now. He manages to get from one
side of the bed to the other, or off the bed altogether - usually when
we're not looking.
Isaac is also a porker. Quite well rounded, you could say. And
quickly catching up to Patrick in weight. Patrick is 14 kgs or so, and
Isaac is a little over 9 kgs.
