On Friday, Isaiah got a stomach virus. Yuck. But it was really not so bad. He was still pretty happy and playful for most of the day. On Monday, D. got the stomach virus. It was much worse. The poor guy was in bed all day and today he is still not himself. I have not yet gotten sick, and I hope it stays that way. But you can still feel bad for me if you want to because I had to take care of two people. D. is the worst one by far, but I still love him.
In other news, I cannot even begin to keep you up to date on Isaiah's vocabulary. He says so many new things every day. He has started saying "Corrie" all the time now. He talks to me on the phone, or he talks about me. It is really cute. A few new words from the last week or so include "yogurt," "mail," and "cantelope." I'm not lying.
D. and I have been working to follow the suggestion by our doctor and by the American Association of Pediatrics to not allow Isaiah to watch ANY TV until the age of 2. We did this for many reasons, including the fact that habits start early and we want our kids to be in the habit of exploring and learning actively. Watching TV is a very passive activity. We have done a pretty good job of it, if I do say so myself. :) All that to say, we decided recently that maybe he was ready to watch a little here and there with our permission. Today we watched about 10 minutes of a show I've never seen before--Word World. It is a really neat show and Isaiah liked it a lot. Each character is computer animated, and their body is the word that spells what they are--the dog's body is actually the word DOG. Anyway, Isaiah liked it a lot and even did a little dance. It's weird to see how grown up he is, and it's exciting to see him processing so many new things.
Finally, baby brother is moving around like crazy and doing lots of little dances for us! The doctor said he thinks he'll be another big baby since he was measuring big already, but he also said I can probably have an 11 pound baby with no problem considering Isaiah's size. I hope that is true.

Wow! Cantelope, huh? That's a pretty big word for a little guy! Guess he's not so little anymore. You guys are going to have to quit spelling words out when you don't want him to know what you're talking about, as it sounds like you have a genius on your hands. Wow--how did you get so lucky? Good Looks AND brains! I love you and miss you!
