Isaac at Four Months



I thought I'd give an update on my little man. He's been holding his head up really well for a while now. He even tries to sit up when laying on a pillow. He loves standing up and playing "big boy". He's now discovered the purpose of his Jumparoo is for jumping & he does it like crazy. He loves to giggle lately too. Sometimes he'll giggle at you for no reason to get you to laugh. It's so cute. He's been drooling a lot for over a month now. People keep telling me he's teething & the doctor says it looks like he is, but I still haven't seen any teeth yet. He's been eating baby food too. He likes applesauce & especially peas & carrots. He's not as big a fan of the rice cereal or pears. I had to start feeding him because he stares at my food like a fat kid in a candy store. He's getting harder to hold on to, he literally tries to crawl out of my arms. When I prop him sideways on my belly he can make his way over me to the other side. When he has tummy time he "swims". Everything I've read says this is the first step to crawling. He's been rolling over for a while now too, but seems to be doing it more lately. Oh & he loves to "whine". He does the "fake" crying thing. He's so silly. Oh & he's now a thumb sucker. He fights me when I'm giving him a bottle because he wants that thumb in his mouth so bad. He's weaned himself off of breastfeeding (about 3 weeks now). He had "stranger anxiety" for about a week, but seems to be over it right now. He loves taking baths. I think it's one of his favorite things. He kicks the water & splashes it everywhere & plays with his duckies. He likes putting EVERYTHING into his mouth. I have a toy on his carseat & he was crying the other day because he couldn't get it into his mouth. He seems to have mine & Mike's lack of patience.

Isaac isn’t a fan of wind




I met with a bunch of other mommies today from a parent's group I joined. Isaac liked watching the other kids play and even played footsies with a little girl. It was so cute. We went to the LSU lakes and it was a little windy. We had to pull out early since Isaac would catch his breath and cry every time the wind blew. I'm glad we are broadening our social horizons though. It's nice to meet other SAHMs like me!

Lend me a kitten

I will lend to you for a while
a kitten, God said,
for you to love himwhile he lives
and to mourn for him when he is gone.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe for two or three,
but will you, till I call himback
take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise that he will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below
I want this kitten to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
and from the folk that crowd life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love?
Nor think the labor vain.
Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten back again.

I fancied that I heard them say
"Dear Lord Thy Will Be Done,"
for all the joys this kitten will bring,
the risk of grief you'll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness?
Will you love him while you may?
And for the happiness you'll know forever-grateful stay.

But should I call him back
much sooner than you've planned,
please brave the bitter grief that comes
and try to understand.
If, by your love, you've managed
my wishes to achieve,
in memory of him that you've loved,
cherish every moment with your faithful bundle,
and know he loved you too.
