Isaac STILL eats in the bouncy seat...

and...when he's ready to get out...

he's ready!

Hi handsome!

I'm going to get you mama!

Eli LOVES putting this huge puzzle together...

but, he's lost Maine...

has anyone seen it??

I caught him..

he doesn't like to pose for pics...

What can I say.  Things are just "rolling" right along.  We started our health insurance on July 1st...still trying to get everything switched over.  fingers crossed we don't have any hitches!

Eli had his first field trip yesterday...first time on a school bus...and I couldn't go:(  BUT...he had a blast.  Who knew we had a history museum here...I didn't??  I couldn't go to the field trip because Isaac had speech therapy with Mark.  He did great...eating thicker foods....just being such a trooper!

TODAY...I put Isaac in his fancy leg braces....and he's standing!  Now...he still needs to hold onto something...but, he's bearing weight for minutes now instead of seconds!!!

shh...tomorrow I'll share a little video of him standing!  It'll make you cry!

This isn't the video that I've been trying to upload...but, it's a cute one too!

He goes bonkers everytime I pull the camera out....he LOVES that camera strap!

(he's still eating dogfood and our dirty shoes)

WE had a completely, glorious, LAZY day!  No appointments...nothing to do...but, what we wanted to do...ok...we HAD to do a little cleaning...but, that's all.

About lunch time...I was looking at Isaac's little legs and feet...and they were SO dirty!  My floor!  I had to bathe my little beauty...sweep my floor..and mop it.  Now...the mad crawler can crawl away (with clean legs!)

Chris is at a friend's house tonight...so, Eli is using the emergency bed!

I'm watching Confessions of a Shopaholic, Isaac is STILL playing in the playroom...and Joe is snoozing on the couch.

(I typed all this last night...trying to upload a video...still trying to upload that video!)

I'm trying to remember everything that we did this weekend. My friend, Maria and little Alexander, came over for a swim date on Saturday morning while Joe took the boys to see Transformers. I should have taken pics of Alexander...remind me next time Maria!!! (I forget that you don't have a blog and everyone doesn't know who you are!)

THEN...I napped!

Friday night Joe and I had Mexican dinner with friends while Chris babysat!

Today...I took the boys to church (Joe was exhausted from his work week)...and this afternoon...I napped.

I tell ya...it was busy..but, getting a nap in each day....GLORIOUS!

Isaac continued to terrorize my house today.  I decided to move the dog's food and water all the way on the other side of our downstairs...by the laundry room.  I WAS hoping that Katie (the dog) would eat her food over there and NOT bring it into the living room where Isaac plays.  I was also hoping that Isaac would NOT go over to the food and try to eat it.  

WELL....both of them had me fooled!  Katie still brings her food into the living room...and Isaac crawls all the way to the laundry room to get the food.

seriously....what in the world am I suppose to do?  Chris won't let me give his dog away?

He is still pulling things off the shelves.   He also decided today that he would NOT like to take a nap.  But, about every thirty minutes...he'd just sit there and scream....because his little body was so tired...but, he had things to do...he just couldn't take it.

I'm CRAZY worried...next week our insurance changes....fingers crossed that everything gets transferred without a hitch...and they don't get smart and deny us coverage!  I'm calling tomorrow to get the O2 and feeding pump scheduled to be picked up...but, also need to coordinate the delivery of the new (because, of course...the insurance makes us change suppliers).

Hugs and love to all my heart mamas!

Yes...Chris does exist!

and Eli swings in this swing more than Isaac does!

Here he comes...

you think he wants his mama??

NOPE...he wants to eat the camera strap!

Do you see this mess??

HE did it!

He pulled down all the cubes and dumped everything out!

We were suppose to have pt this morning...but, there was a scheduling mix up...so, we'll see Nora in a few weeks.  It's probably a good thing...Isaac was a TERRIBLE two year old today.  That kid was into everything!  He single handedly distroyed the playroom tonight.  Earlier...he was playing and then crawled into the living room where I was...and he had some food all over his face and shirt.  I can only assume that he found more dog food.  (the dog leaves it everywhere!)

We had a well check for Eli this afternoon.  After 2 1/2 hours in the office....we were out of there knowing that he was great, weighing 51 pounds and 50 inches tall!

ahh....it rained this afternoon!  What a nice surprise.  Soon after the rain stopped, I went to pick up Eli from school...and he said, "mom...it smells like North Carolina!"

Hey good lookin'

Here's my man standing!!!

Yeah for Isaac!

(ok...it only lasts seconds...but WOW!)

He needed to take a break to watch his show...

(look how his eyes...he's serious)!

Now...he needed to take a break to watch his show AND

eat his shoe!

(they're clean...don't worry)

Standing therapy is going good.  We only do about 10-15 minutes a day.  (that's all he can take).  But...he's doing great!  He'll be running around here with an old man walker in NO TIME~!

Nora (the great pt) will be over tomorrow morning!  I hope Isaac is in a good mood.  

Isaac is allergic to dog food!

How do I know??  Well...about the fourth time I dragged him from the dog bowl...he had a mouth full...all crunched up!  THEN, his eczema patches on his face, arm, and legs started to turn a bright red.  There...allergy.

No more dog food for YOU Mr. Isaac.

He has been munching on Fruit Loops and nacho chips today.  seriously....who is this kid??

That would be a relaxing Eli.  He sits outside in the afternoon...on his floatie...under the misters...reading a book or playing with a toy.  He's so darn sweet.

Would you like to see a picture of Chris??  Well...maybe one day.  I don't see much of him during the day...even though he's here all day.

what do you think about that??

Fruit Loops!

Nothing new to report....just excited that he's eating something!

OH...I know what to report...my darn freezer got unplugged and EVERYTHING is ruined!  I had to throw away more than 100 pounds of meat (that included four turkeys:(   Oh well...I'll just have to keep shopping to fill it back up.

(cleaning our the yuck is why my head hurts)  I'm off to bed early! (if Isaac will allow it)
