Walking!

As of today, Isaac is taking longer steps and walking all around the house with no help. I say, this kid is WALKING!

Thanksgiving dinner

Whoops, forgot to take pictures of Jo's creme brulee, recipe compliments of Kat.

Some of Isaac's friends (Camden and Natalie) that have recently visited.

Well-hydrated by conscious parents during a recent illness, Natalie leaked a little bit while sitting on the chair during dinner. Regardless, we caught her in the act!

Dan is in Las Vegas!

This weekend till Tuesday Daddy is in the Sin City for a conference. Needless to say, we miss him. The interesting part is that, I actually think Isaac realizes that Dan is gone. When we dropped him off at the airport as I was driving away, Isaac started a whining cry. Then today when I showed him a picture of Dan, he started smiling. So, I went on a pointed to Dan-Daddy and then Isaac-baby. Now when I aske Isaac where's Daddy, he would go ahead and point to the picture of Dan! What a smart kid!
This weekend we also had Milly over. She is two years old and Isaac's good friend. He liked her so much, he bit her in the arm leaving an impression and some erythema. As for Milly, she later take a toy and hits him in the head. I guess they like each other. Lately, whenever Isaac falls or bumps his head, Dan and I have been trying to not freak out right away, because when we do, he cried even harder. But, we are aware when he is really hurt. So the other day, when I took him to get his flu shot. He literally stared down the nurse and didn't even scream or cry. He looked at her with a stare that says "what are you doing to me?"

Chicago Weekend

Last weekend, Isaac and I made a last minute decision to go back home to Chicago for grandma Mo's 50th birthday party. I was a bit scared of going by myself with an almost toddler who is going through some GI problems. He started having liquid diarrhea and stopped eating for three days! Well, with some TLC and chinese cooking from my mom, Isaac finally started eating on the fourth day with great appetite! We surprised Maureen while she was in her underwear! She then screamed and startled Isaac...all in all, it was a blast to be home...with the added bonus of shopping with my sister...Isaac was a bite busy on way to Chicago. It didn't help that he had already slept and the plane was so delayed--2 hours! On the way home he did a lot better- slept for two hours and was able to have the empty seat to play and enjoying being a big boy. Here are some of the photos of the weekend. A shout out to Aunt K-Bone-- Happy Birthday! It was also Kat's birthday two days after Mo's. We all went out for a nice steak dinner just the way I like it. What I did learn is, if possible, try not to travel with a toddler by yourself!

Surprise 50th

I'm having a quiet, lonely weekend. Jo flew to Chicago for my mom's surprise birthday party today, which is happening right about now. Here's the video that the family made for her special day.

Stomache upset:(

So this morning, Isaac drink all 8 oz of his bottle. I was like, "yes! he is better." Then before you know it, he had pooped. It was kind of soft, so I was like, that's okay, it's no diarrhea and he is doing fine. Two minutes later, I smell poop AGAIN, this time, yellow liquid! Poor baby! I didn't take him to daycare, but I still had to go in to work because I have patients in the morning. The nursing staff and office manager all took turns watching Isaac for me, while I finished up my morning. I was able to leave early so now we are home. Isaac is going on 2 hour on his nap. He still hasn't really eaten, just had another 6 oz bottle. pray for him!
