Family Blog: Where's Jake?

Winter has arrived and as the weather gets colder we have brought Jake inside during the evenings. Isaac is so fascinated by Jake. He LOVES to look at him! The first night we brought Jake in we set Isaac on the floor while we arranged some furniture to make room for our Christmas tree. Zach and I carried a desk downstairs to the basement and when we left Isaac was carrying on a very loud conversation with Jake. Not too long after I heard Jake bark and that was the end of the conversation...Isaac freaked! It took me a little while to get him calmed back down. I brought Isaac over to pet Jake and he seemed to be okay with him again.

Isaac loves to stick his fingers in Jake's nose. Yes, that is disgusting but we have learned that Isaac does some really gross things. The other day I picked Isaac up from the baby sitter and watched him stick his tongue out for their dog to lick. I had to put my hand over his mouth to get him to stop! Bailey was more than happy to accommodate Isaac's wishes!

We traveled to Austin for Thanksgiving but it was a Thanksgiving we would like to forget! I was sick with the flu on Thursday night and Friday and then Zach and his mom got sick Friday night and Saturday. Isaac and Zach's dad were the only two to stay healthy. We thank God for that! I learned that as a mother, I will never fully recover from sickness before needing to get back to taking care of Isaac. Zach's dad was a great help and I don't know what we would have done if he'd gotten sick too!

Isaac now has 2 teeth! The first came in right before Thanksgiving and the second one came in this past weekend. He is growing so fast, I know if I blink I will miss something! Isaac has also learned to roll...all over the place. I can't leave the room for a second or he will be on the other side. Yesterday I found him under Zach's guitar! Everyone says it won't be long and he will be crawling! YIKES!!! I don't know if I'm ready for that!
