Sixteen months old



Today, one of the two lights of our lives turns 16 months old. I thought I would take the time to jot down some of the things Isaac is doing.
  • Says the following words: I-ac (his name), down, no, Bubby (Scrubby), peas (please), Daddy, Mommy, Doggie, Minnie (for Mickey or Minnie Mouse), ball, dirty, on, Bible (for his book that is a Bible but for all books as well it appears), baby, uh-oh, apple, na-na (for banana)

  • Dances when music comes on.

  • Sits on / plays with Scrubs whenever he gets a chance.

  • Enjoys cars, trucks, basically anything with wheels.

  • Is infatuated with anything round -- which is always a "ball".

  • Loves to read books . . . constantly. If I sit down on the couch, Isaac immediately goes to bring me a book.

  • Starts bouncing up and down when he gets to give Scrubs a treat -- he goes right to the treats after a guest leaves, knowing it is time for a treat.

  • Gets on and off the couch at will.

  • Likes to watch birds and squirrels out our front window eating all the birdseed Daddy puts out.

  • Throws a ball one handed, two handed, and backwards over his shoulder.

  • Runs pretty fast.

  • Still calls Elijah by a kissing noise. Wants to go to his room to get him anytime he can. Brings him toys to play with. Very sweet and gentle with him.

  • Makes signs for: please, thank you, airplane, dirty, all done.
  • Is starting to point to objeccts and shapes in books when requested.

  • Loves to walk out in the front yard while Mom plays Frisbee with Scrubs.

  • Spins in circles to make himself dizzy.

  • Is helping to brush his teeth and comb his hair.

  • Loves his baths.

  • Has started helping to clean up toys.
