Improvements

This picture of Isaac cracks me up. His legs are so chubby. Isaac has learned to stand by himself. He has also learned how to walk behind his push toy. He is so proud of himself! He will be 10 months old tomorrow. Isaac is also learning the "limp body" trick. You know, when you try to remove him from something he shouldn't mess with and he goes limp so it's harder to pick him up. He can also be very dramatic when he's upset. He'll bend at the waist and lay his face on the ground and do a fake cry. I think he gets the drama from his Aunt Steph. Just kidding, Steph! You know we love you. He will try to share toys with Cardale but, pulls them away as soon as Cardale grabs for them. He also likes to grab Cardale's hair and pull himself up by it.

Cardale is doing alright. He's had a rough couple of days. He got a really bad cold and was spitting up alot of formula. I thought he had thrush, so I took him to the doctor. Turns out he has a double ear infection! I had no idea. He was sleeping thru the night while my kids always screamed all night. So Cardale is now on antibiotics and hopefully he feels better soon. I am also learning how to care for black hair. I called a neighbor to get some tips. It takes a really long time to pick his hair. His hair needs to be washed once a week and I put coconut oil in it daily. Caleb really likes touching Cardale's hair now because it smells like coconuts.:)

We also experience "The Perfect Storm" sometimes in our house-when all three kids are crying at the same time. That isn't at all stressful.:) Of course, then we have really great moments with the kids. We all went down to the waterfront and had supper while the kids behaved and had a great time. So the good and bad go hand in hand.
