Busy Night

Want to know just a few of the things we do in the final hour before Isaac heads to bed?? See for yourself - he's such a busy little guy, it's tough keeping up with him:

1. Practice languge - We're hoping Isaac picks up on more of his grandma's native Chinese and Taiwanese than I know. So far, it seems we're headed in the right direction.

For those who need translation {because they don't know the language, or I'm not pronouncing it 100% correctly}. First, I say "hello," followed by "how big are you" to which he responds with the action for "so big." I then attempt to get him to show you good-bye, which he doesn't do, but he does give me the kiss that I ask for. Lastly, he very proudly shows that he knows where his nose is when you ask him in Chinese. He doesn't, however, point to his nose when you ask him in English. He also knows the words for flower, swing, feed fish, open and close door, gentle, diaper change, and a handful of others. I'm learning more too!



2. Walking - even doing turns, and correcting himself on stumbles. What a little stud.



3. Watching Sophie do her tricks, but trying to help out too!



4. Climb the stairs, laughing almost the whole time. This is usually followed by a lot more walking.



5. Playing with blocks and other toys. Can you pick out his new word? He's talking up a storm these days! This one would be his official third word, followed by mama and dada. He also says, "maa" when referring to cows {it doesn't sound like a cow, but like a baby calf} - I don't count this as a word because, really, he's just mocking the sound.



6. Climb up on the couch using pillow or whatever else is available to step on. This is only an attempt as it was near the end of the night, so he was really tired. Also a sure sign that he's really tired - he stumbles and falls a lot more when he's walking around.




Thanks for taking a peek into our evenings. Anyone want to baby-sit? ;-)
