Celebrate Good Times

...come on!

We spent the last weekend of Daddy's winter break celebrating some fun occasions. On Friday we took a little road trip to the Costco in Newark, DE with Debbie.  We got to stock up on some discounted wine and some other goodies that were really exciting for Costco-obssessed Debbie and Mommy. 

Costco road trips are exhausting!

On Saturday we went to the open house at Reflex Functional Fitness, the new gym Amanda and Reese just opened up. Even though we didn't actually work out we are very excited for them and wanted to stop by and show our support.  Isaac had fun seeing his godmother, doing some step aerobics with Debbie, and checking himself out in the huge wall mirrors.  

Then on Sunday we had a surprise "Toot-Toot!/Congratulations!" lunch for CharliePop who was one year smoke free! (There may or may not be a correlation with his motivation to quit and the arrival of Isaac, but whatever the reason, we're very proud of him!) 

We've been working on transitioning Isaac to the big tub, as he's starting to get quite wiggly in his baby tub leaning out and managing to flip around. He's not quite sure what to think of it yet but we have a feeling once he gets more comfortable he's going to really have a lot of fun splashing around.

Isaac's appetite is growing as quickly as his sweet personality. We don't know where he's putting all the food he's been devouring! He's been breastfeeding as much as ever but he's still been a bottomless pit for pork loin, potatoes, apple sauce, clementines, beef, zucchini, brussel sprouts...anything we share with him! And when his tray is empty of what Mommy thought was a huge portion of our meal, he shows his clear disappointment with grunts, whines, and banging until more food is placed in front of him.

Our new favorite trick is Isaac's hello/goodbye wave and how extra excited he gets when you wave back and say "hello".  

He's also been really steady standing with just a little support, although as much as he loves standing and walking, he still seems a little uneasy about letting go and trying it on his own which is fine with Mommy. She's in no rush for him to take off walking on his own!
