Squealing Jumping Bean

showing off one of his new outfits

I didn't think it was possible, but Isaac seems to be getting happier each week.  He expresses himself with loads of full hearted squeals, laughs, and smiles.  He spends his mornings in his jumper while Mommy makes breakfast for the dogs, herself, and Isaac.  He is really starting to get the hang of it, as you can see here (VIDEO link).

Isaac continues to add to his food repertoire.  This week he tried homemade squash soup, taco meat, lamb, kale, and Mommy's meat sauce in addition to some of his other regular favorites.  Each meal seems to be more successful for Isaac, and less so for the dogs as less and less food is ending up on the floor. 

Isaac pretty much eats whatever Mommy and Daddy eat. However, if Mommy ever tries to eat a meal in front of Isaac without sharing, this is the kind of pitiful reaction she gets from Isaac: 

Mirrors are becoming increasingly entertaining as well. Almost every time Isaac happens upon his reflection there are guaranteed smiles and giggles.  The other day he really had Mommy laughing as he kept looking back and forth from the mirror and every time he saw his reflection he would squeal like crazy at himself.  See for yourself here (VIDEO link). There's a slow start but it gets pretty cute about 40 seconds in. I'm not sure what he's thinking about when he sees himself but his facial expressions sure are hilarious. 

And he's getting stronger and really good at dragging himself (VIDEO link). Go Isaac, go!
