Izaac went to the doctor yesterday and came home with four bandaids on his thighs and mommy was really sad.....but she said the doc said he is growing well. He weighs 19.8 lbs (15th percentile) and is 29.5 inches long (25th percentile). So he needs to move to a bigger car seat, but can't quite face forward yet. Mom and dad were excited to hear that he can now eat anything, and not to worry about setting off allergic reactions (mom has always been a little paranoid about this - now she doesn't have to worry about me sharing my peanut butter with him).
This morning we went to visit Anika and her mom Heidi. Anika is about three weeks old now and very cute, but no pictures, mama forgot the camera......
"We" are writing this entry while both zac and i are awake and wanting to touch all the keyboard buttons, so gotta go......

Izaac can't sleep...
Yesterday zac was taking three and four steps at a time, catching on quick to the walking thing. But then last night he wouldn't sleep. Mom looked ragged this morning, as she got us up to take us to Ariadnee's house on her way to work. She said that he was up every hour or two and would not get himself back to sleep. She moved him to the portocrib in the guest room, so i didn' t wake up until 430, when i got in bed with mommy. mom is hoping tonight goes better.
I was so excited to go to Ariadnee's house this morning - I haven't been there for three or four weeks since they were on vacation. Yay!
talk to you later.

Izaac's First Birthday party, Mama's race
Hey there everyone!
Ariadnee got back from her vacation! She came over on Tuesday and mom took all three of us to Pearl Street Mall by herself....brave mama.
And then we had lots of fun this past weekend......
Grandma was still here and she joined us on a trip to the zoo with mom's friend Brie and her children Austin and Macy. That was friday, then saturday we had Izaac's 1st birthday party (a week and a day early, cause mom and dad work on his actual birthday - the 28th). He got to eat cake and ice cream like the big kids! Then sunday we all got up early (actually, we were already up early) and went out to the Boulder Reservoir where mommy rode and ran in her Muddy Buddy race. A very short race - about 55 minutes, but mommy felt jazzed about being strong enough to do SOME kind of race. Dad was proud of her, he kept telling her on the way home. I think mom was pleased to place in the top third of her classification. I thought it was a little strange to see mom covered in mud from her head to her toes, but she was laughing so i got to smiling too.
Dad worked more on the deck - he has avoided doing the stairs - i think he is a little unsure of how to go about them. But he has started on the deck railings - he has to carve out each 4x4 (there are 21) to insert the 2x4 in. Mom keeps saying how beautiful this deck will be, if it gets done. Mom and dad have a bet going - dad gets to spend $500 on bike stuff if he gets the deck done by the end of the year. Mom isn't worried about losing, but she kind of hopes she does.
Zac and i are still keeping mom up alot. Zac got another tooth sometime in the last week. Dad noticed it on Monday, but it had probably been there over the weekend. Mom was impressed that dad noticed izaac's tooth while taking care of Ariadnee and us two by himself . Dad had all of us without mom because mom's work messed up her schedule (she didn't try hard to fix it.....i wonder why!?) He has another two bursting out (zac's teeth), and he was miserable yesterday. He is spending a lot of time on the boob, and i am getting jealous. I have gotten really clingy on mom, and especially when she is taking care of zac. So yes, i am still wanting to sleep in her bed and have her lay down with me while i nap or to help me go to sleep at night. And i want her to watch cartoons with me and hold me when we go out and not hold izaac. She goes a little bonkers sometimes.
Zac took his first step today!!!!! Mom and dad were excited and i tried to jump in and show them what i could do to help zac - i think i was a lot of help holding him up, but mom kept telling me to give zac the space to take his own step. Geez.
My big news is that i have been staying completely dry at night and at naps. I occasionally have an accident during the day when i put off peeing, but it is really rare. Mom and dad are pleased.

Grandma babysits, crazy sleep cycles
Mom and Dad both worked this weekend and Grandma babysat because she was here and Aunty Anjee and Uncle Riyan and Ariadnee were still on vacation. I had so much fun with Grandma. No pictures to show for it, though. Big news is I stayed dry for two out of the last three nights without a diaper. Mom has resorted to letting me fall asleep in her arms in the beanbag and then transfer me to bed, because I have just flat out refused to go to bed by myself anymore. This morning (as with every morning) Zac woke up to nurse at 4:30, but this time I woke up too and followed mommy in to her bed with zac. After mommy was done nursing zac she put him back in his crib, but i was already asleep in her bed, so she just left me there and went back to sleep herself until 5:15 when she had to get up for work. she showered and got ready for work while i slept in her bed - i am getting to spend more time sleeping in mommy's bed than she is. Mommy complains about my difficult sleeping patterns right now, but she actually likes cuddling with us kids.

Visit to Children's Museum; Grandma visits
Last Friday we went to the children's museum with the neighbors Krista and her 3-year-old Kaden. It was fun - getting in to a real fire engine and then crawling aroung a huge "ant hill". Kaden is more fun to play with than Zac, and he listens to me when i tell him what to do. We also painted and while Kaden played basketball i used the microphone that was at the sidelines for commenting to listen to my voice over the loud speaker. That was cool.
Over the weekend - the first weekend we have been home that mom and dad weren't working - we relaxed, played in the backyard, learned to climb trees, and dad worked on the deck - the everlasting project, and did other chores. The deck is getting even closer to being done than before, actually dad was just being a perfectionist and replacing some boards that weren't layed right. Dad also replaced the brakes in the pickup - the warning light had been on for months. He said they were so bad that we were actually lucky nothing has happened.
Sunday we went to the hospital where daddy works to see the newest baby of our family - baby Anika was born early sun morning to Erik and Heidi Fedor. Erik is aunty Lara's brother, and Anika is their first baby.
Grandma arrived from Tucson on Sunday night and she came over Monday morning. I was so excited to see her, especially because Ariadnee is gone this week on vacation in mexico and I miss her. Grandma watched us for a couple hours while mom and dad went to look at wood for the deck railings, and then we went to dinner at Sweet tomatoes. I ate so well, and zac sat in his highchair through his whole meal, as long as mommy kept putting peas in front of him.
Tuesday mom worked, but me and daddy and grandma went on a hike outside boulder. we picked wild grape vine leaves and grandma is planning to make stuffed grape leaves for zac's first birthday party. mom and dad love grandma's stuffed grape leaves.
Wednesday we were going to go to the fabric store so mom could pick fabric for grandma to make curtains for mommy and daddy's bedroom, but zac took a three and a half hour nap and i refused to take a nap and was ballistic. i finally took a nap around 3 and didn't get up until after 5, so of course i didn't want to go to bed at bedtime. i think i finally fell asleep around 9 or 9:30, after four diaper changes. Did you know that a good excuse to keep getting out of bed is to poop in your diaper after each time mommy changes it? i've been using that technique alot lately, mom is getting pretty sick of it. I also finally fall asleep on the floor alot lately - in my room, or on the landing upstairs. So mommy has stopped letting me use a pullup for my naps - which i was cool with, and last night she said i don't get to use a pullup at night either. I stayed dry all night, and got up in the morning and used the potty that is in my room - that is where mommy found me sitting when she came in to my room. she was REALLY happy.
Yesterday Grandma babysat while mommy and daddy had their dental appointments - their first in three years. I get to go again on monday to get my cavities filled. Mommy and daddy didn't have any cavities, but i got three or four in less than three years - what's up with that?
Talk to you later. Oh, thanks to all of you who have commented - i love it!

Trip to th Dentist. yuck.
Yay, the computer is working again, so the pictures from our second camping trip with all the family are up...
So mom took me to the dentist about a week ago, because she has been noticing my two front teeth have been getting grey. This dentist was not a kid's dentist and she said mom needed to take me to a kids dentist because she thought i was loosing my front teeth and i was going to need a baby root canal. mom was worried and felt bad because when i fell and hit my teeth on the bathtub when i was about 14 months old (yes, a LONG time ago), she never took me to the dentist. so off we went to the kids dentist who gave us the good news that my front teeth are fine but need to be watched, and the bad news that i have three cavities that have to be filled. so we are now on a twice a day regime of mama or daddy brushing my teeth, instead of me getting to suck and chew on a toothbrush with toothpaste on it.
Izaac is balancing on his own two feet for up to 3 seconds! he just lets go of what he is holding on to and just stands! Dad is really encouraging him, but mom is more interested in him learning to go backwards down the stairs - which he is actually doing really well.
