I'm sorry, you thought this was a blog about Isaac?
Yeah, yeah, so in all my haste to lay forth my feelings about moving, I forgot to write about my boy. Sue me.
*As if Friday didn't have enough going on, Isaac wanted to add to the mix -- he cut his first top tooth that day. By the looks of it he is working on cutting all of the rest of his teeth, too, since he is plumbing around in there with both his thumb and his tongue now, and is incapable of sleeping at night. At all.
*An unforeseen complication of having a top tooth now -- he keeps biting his tongue, hard. He woke up screaming the other night with little spots of blood on his sheet around his head from his latest tongue-wound, which is now scabbed over and healing nicely. But how scary for everybody, yo? It's not like we as parents can do anything to help him with this one.
*He can stand by himself for an increasing length of time. How long does he need to stand independently before it officially counts for the baby book?
*Now he can get out of his baby rocker even in the inclined position, as he demonstrated to me by nearly strangling his leg in the harness Friday morning in his escape attempt. I am completely at a loss as to how I am supposed to shower in the future.
*He has learned to "pet" Cat-brother, much to Cat-brother's eternal delight. Isaac takes his little hand and swipes at Cat-brother's fur repeatedly, but no longer grabs fistfuls and yanks. Now I'm afraid poor Cat-brother's tail is still in grave danger, but baby-steps is what we're about here.

UGH. I've been wondering when that happens (the getting out of the baby rocker/no showering thing).
Erin said something once about playing peek-a-boo through the shower curtain. Looks like it's in your future. ;-P
Yeah...but before we can do that, we have to get a lock for the toilet lid. He's figured out how to open that up now, too, and it's only a matter of time before he's giving himself baby swirlies...
