Shout Out to My Valentine

I'm not a big V-day lover, but I'm also no hater. I think Bryan and I have been apart for more than one Valentine's Day. This is one. He had to make a business trip, and I will be traveling 333 miles with 4 kids to meet up with him tomorrow. But I'm missing him tonight. When he's not here, I can't unload all my thoughts onto him. It's hard to fall asleep. Or, more accurately, it's hard to get motivated to sleep. Bryan is a main element of my winding-down process. Ice cream doesn't taste as good. Tetris isn't as fun. My bed isn't as warm. The steady breathing of my best friend doesn't lull me into secure sleep. I feel bad for all the people in the world who do not have a Bryan in their lives. Goodnight, sweetheart.

All Talk, No Walk

When I took Isaac to the pediatrician recently, the doctor was surprised when I claimed that Isaac knows 15 to 20 words. That is the vocabulary, he said, of an eighteen-month old or even a two-year-old. I wanted to be sure that I wasn't exaggerating, so I went home and wrote down his words. At the time, I could think of 15. And he gained at least 5 more in the following week. This proud mama kids you not. Here are some of them:

Baby Babble

Isaac loves to test out his tongue and lips in an endeavor to speak. Have I told you that language development is my favorite? I tried to get it on video, but he almost always stops the cuteness right before I start recording. Sometimes it almost sounds like he is singing parts of the alphabet. Especially, "E, F, G."  Well, we just missed it again in this video, so you'll just have to take my word for it until next time. But Ikey is still so cute.  I love my one-year-old!
