Octopus's Garden

We were listening to The Beatles the other day and that song came on and Isaac was singing along to it. It was so cute! Then he was asking to hear it again, he kept pulling out the CD's and saying, "me hear octopus garden?"
This morning he woke up and was singing it to us.:-)

I think we have a Beatles fan on our hands! ;-)

playing on his own

Lately Isaac has started to play on his own. Setting up his own games and playing them. Today he was setting up little wooden people and bowling with them.
He sometimes sets up several cars or other objects and I can see his thought expanding beyond just single objects. He's usually talking the whole time, but I can't really make out what he is saying. It's so amazing to watch him grow and see how his thought process is developing.

I've also seen a difference in how he is playing with others. We had some friends come over yesterday, Jamie, and her son Xander who is 5 and her daughter Zoe who is just a couple of months younger than Isaac.
As soon as they got here Isaac and Xander started playing and they did the whole time. I have some great pics I took on my phone, but I have no idea how to get them to my blog. I do have them on Facebook, so you could see them there. They are of the three of them playing in a wet sandbox, they are all soaked and covered in sand, and having a BLAST!

His personality is just growing so much and it is such a joy and blessing to be part of it.

Baby Jacoby

So we had a little stress for a while. Last week my regular glucose test came back on the high side (140, nurse said 130 is the highest they like to see), so I had to do the 3 hour fasting test. That's what they call it, but really it's a 13 hour fasting test, as you have to fast for 10 hours and then sit in a waiting room for 3 hours while they test you blood 4 separate times (and a full draw for each, plus a finger prick when you first get there) to see how you break down the sugar solution.
I was so hungry when I got there and just felt miserable. The sugar solution was gross, it was this thick lemon/lime, non-carbonated solution, and super sweet.
But on the plus, the sugar drink kept me from feeling really hungry. It wasn't as bad as I was anticipating, I actually got a chance to read uninterrupted for almost three hours.

And of course the good news is that everything is fine and I do not have gestational diabetes!

So everything can continue as normal, and in around 11 weeks +/- we will have little Jacoby! <3
