Summer Break

The computer stopped recording dates for our pictures the way it used to, so we're missing half of them! Junish and Aprilish was the best I could do at times ... Isaac is coming up on a year! He's not walking yet. It looks like it'll probably be right around 1. He's just been standing and balancing in place which he finds very clever and highly entertaining. As for talking, he's dropped all sounds but "da". It means "pass the water please", "isn't that a lovely painting", take me outside to blow bubbles NOW", mom, dad, dog, shoes, and yogurt, amongst other things. He says mama and dada too, but I don't now what they mean ... I think they mostly mean "I'm angry and don't speak your language". He claps and laughs a lot and points at everything, but he won't kiss me on demand despite 10 months of coaching. He seems to have a major interest in studying paintings and photographs. I think he's going to be a photographer ... and an author ... and maybe a children's book illustrator. Those are my predictions on the record. Let's see how close I end up :).
