My Growing Baby

Isis has had "experiences" with crayons but here is her first "picture." Isn't it lovely? :)

She spent almost 20 minutes carefully using her orange crayon. And when I showed her how to hold it (in a fist), she moved it around until she was holding it in a tri-pod grip - you know, how adults hold their writing tools. It wasn't just coincidence. She has continued to do it. I'm quite impressed. :) Here is her picture from today. :) (And yesterday she turned 16 months!!)
What an amazing little girl. :) Oh, and just in case there was any doubt, the last TWO posts were from Jeremy. That is definitely JEREMY'S double cheese burger. :) I could hardly think about fitting that in my appetite, let alone my mouth. :)

I've noticed a lot of people putting quarters up to spiders to illustrate just how big (or mentally big) these arachnids are. I've decided to size up my homemade double cheeseburger. Yummy...

Isis Walkathon

This is Jeremy doing a blog for once:

We all know that babies walk a lot. Many questions fill our minds while chasing the baby around like, "Where does her energy come from? Why can't I keep up? How old am I? Does she ever stop moving? Is it nap time yet?"

Rachel proposed to put a pedometer on her today. We attached it to the back of her shorts. I am happy to say that Isis completed around 4900 steps before noon today. No wonder she eats a whole banana, a cup of yogurt, and toast for breakfast! She's gearing up for the Isis 5000 starting at 9 AM!
