i hate sick kids!!
who knows why this is happening in the middle of the summer, but it sounds like isaac has a cold. we just got back from boise and he was around a lot of different people so maybe he got something there. poor guy...he can't breathe out of his nose which makes sleeping and eating difficult. i tried holding mentholatum under his nose to see if it'd clear him up and it didnt last long. i'm afraid to put it on his skin because i think he'll smear it everywhere and get it in his eyes. oh what to do, what to do...

my silly buddy...
look at him standing all by himself...with the help of the chair anyway. i love how he has that mom gut. all you moms know what i'm talking about!
his new thing is to lay flat on the floor and suck things...the floor, books, whatever. so here he is sucking the food on his book.
he kept making this hilarious face when he saw the red light on the camera. it was like clockwork. he'd go straight faced after i took the picture. i think you might be able to see his two teeth on the bottom. he got them on july 6th and 13th!
now THIS is the cute baby face i love.
there's that silly big smile again!

...boise or bust!
tomorrow isaac and i are going to boise to have a brookside 207 reunion. it has been about 7 years since we were all roommates. there are 6 of us...raeann and pam live in boise, whitney is from arizona (moving to CT), lyndsie is coming from utah, and tanya and i are flying over together from portland. we are super excited to meet up again. i'm shocked and amazed that all of us managed to coordinate a weekend trip with all 6 of us! i couldn't be happier, though. this should be a lot of fun...a nice trip down memory lane. so i'm sure you'll see a lot of boise pictures when i come back on monday. wish us luck...it's isaac's second time flying. he should be a good boy, though...here's hoping.

marion county fair...not trashy at all
here's isaac and lucy lulu trying to be friends. isaac sure likes her.
tanya being cute with my baby. she just loves when he will go to her!
here is tanya showing isaac the really fat dog--as he would call it.
i had trey take our picture...i thought he was going to get isaac in there too, but he wasn't so instructed. what a good direction-follower! ps. i can't believe he's old enough to take our picture! (he turned 4 two days later...)

911...what is your emergency?
ok so it didn't really even get that far, but let's start from the beginning. isaac loves playing with phones. he loves the lights and the beeps. i always let him play with them because, well, it never did any harm...until tonight.
my sister was at my mom's and i went over there to have a brownie after isaac woke up from his nap (at 8:30, yes pm). isaac was quietly sitting on the couch with auntie watching "jumper" and playing with the phone. i noticed it started ringing at one point and i quickly grabbed it and hung up. i saw the number and it looked like a 565 number. nothing for me to worry about besides a three second long distance call. then i turn to my sister and joked, "what if he called 911?" and she said, "yeah and he goes, 'deedo'" which is something isaac likes to say...it sounds like "thank you". anyway, that was that and i soon took the phone away from him and gave him something else to play with...the changer.
a few minutes later the dogs start barking and there's a cop outside with a flashlight. i kinda waved like, "oh hi"...such a dork. and he waved for me to come outside. so i walk out there totally oblivious and ask what's going on. he kindly stated how they received a 911 hang up from this number and when they tried to call back it was busy. i dropped my head in my hands and plead for forgiveness as i explained how isaac likes to play with phones and when they called back he was probably just in the middle of a baby conversation with another random number.
he was pretty forgiving saying how he'd rather it be nothing than something. super nice. i think he could tell i was super sorry. the butch lady cop in the background didn't seem so forgiving...shooting daggers with her eyes. she'll get over it. anyway, he took my name...including my middle name and my date of birth. i was thinking maybe i'll be in the paper under the police activity column. i'll search for it and post if i find something.
as i'm walking inside i'm instantly thinking about my blog and how badly i wanted to ask the cop for a picture but how inappropriate it would have been (considering his mean-face partner).
so there you have it. our exciting evening in salem oregon. not long after the incident, isaac started playing with the phone book and ripped out the page that has a huge 9-1-1 on it. he's so smart...

...smarty pants
isaac sometimes doesn't like to let me do what i want. if i want to eat something he starts whining because he wants to eat too. if i'm trying to get something he'll follow me and start pulling at my pants. i'll come over to do something on the computer and he follows me and starts climbing up my leg until i get done or just give up. so he's found a new way to get what he wants. he's learned to turn off the computer. the tower is currently on the floor (i know, i know) and he's taught himself to press the power button. it's a sure way to get mom off the computer and paying attention to him again! what a smarty pants!

a day in the life....
after seeing the high chair pictures, i realized that's not what isaac looks like on a normal day. i just think i caught another funny face of his. anyway, here are some pictures of isaac doing what he does. and keep in mind, this is in a matter of just a couple days...and yes he's never really wearing a full outfit. it's either shirt and no pants or pants and no shirt...or the really cool diaper look.
here he is checking out the contents of the fridge...his favorite is to pull that kielbasa out and throw it on the floor.
here he's changing the channel...the old fashion way
i'm pretty sure his dad was outside working in the yard because here he is sucking on the glass...he's either smacking it with his hand or sucking on it.
this one actually looks staged...but no, he really does this and i caught it perfectly! he's such a naughty pants!
here he's just plain cute! i love the look on his face. he looks like this a lot when he crawls to his mama!

free money, anyone?
apparently my money isn't my money anymore. it's open to anyone who wants it. so feel free to quit your jobs and take my money from me.
here's what happened:
i got online last night to look at my ever dwindling account to see a $25 purchase from namescout.com...something i have no interest in. so i called my bank and they said there was another attempt yesterday for napster that got declined. thank goodness i caught it soon enough. my bank instructed me to file a police report and attach the report to the dispute paperwork they're sending me. it's so frustrating because who's going to go after someone for $25? in my opinion it's more of a preventative measure than anything. if this little hoodlum is getting away with it then what's stopping them from doing it to someone else? i think i'll do a little research on my own and see what i can find out. just call me kelly P.I.

...ode to tanya
ps...thanks to tanya for the high chair pictured below! she's given me so many things...old AND new that i can't even count anymore! i don't know what i could ever do to repay her. she's always been there for me. she's undoubtedly the most consistent friend i've ever had. she's hilarious, crafty, humble, imaginative, super fun, practical, and just an all around great friend! so here's to you, tanya! you're the best!!! ...still ...still ...still

what do 11 month babies do?
i decided to document the funny and milestone-ish things isaac does. he is quite the character and i can already tell i'll forget these things if i dont get them out! i already forgot when he started sitting up...when he first rolled over...crazy stuff like that. i know, mom of the year, huh? here are a few of the things he does:
he's quite the clapper. he likes to watch nashville star and clap when the singers perform.
he also started trying to snap his fingers to the beat of mom's "snap snap snap your fingers" song. it's pretty cute to see him try getting his fingers together and he just stares at yours when they make that cool snapping sound.
last tuesday (7-1) he unknowingly took his first step! i was holding him as he was playing with a toy and i let go, without him knowing, and he took a wobbly step and then collapsed. it was the beginning of his balancing act. he's getting pretty stable on his own, although he prefers to pull himself up on mom's leg, the couch, the swivel computer chair (not a great idea...), and anything he can muscle.
the day after his 11 month birthday...july 6th...we noticed something really sharp in his mouth. i was a little sad, but at least you can't see that little tooth yet. it sure is a sharp one and i think he's working on more, but when you look inside his mouth it's nearly impossible to see.
he loves holding items up to the side of his head (like a phone) and blabble. it's super hilarious when he does it with something other than a phone. he's been known to use a toothbrush, tv changer, sippy cup, stuffed animal, and lastly...his bare hand.
oh, i can't forget the fake cough. i'm sure lots of kids do/did this, but i just can't even tell you how funny it is. it's so obviously fake and i wonder what their little minds are thinking! is he already starting to manipulate me?
to go along with the fake cough, there's the fake laugh...or the courtesy laugh. when other people are laughing he'll chime in with his fake laugh. does he feel left out? can he tell it really wasn't that funny?
when i'm feeding him baby food and some comes out of his mouth, he'll quickly shove it back in with the back of his hand. it's messy, sure, but super cute nonetheless!
the most adorable/annoying thing he does is play with your ear when he gets tired. everyone says how cute it looks, but that kid manipulates your cartilage in all the wrong ways. it's ridiculously painful. it sounds totally gross, but i've had scabs in my ears from him knicking the inside of my ear with his fingernails!
he also takes advantage of your face with his little tiny fingers by poking your eye balls, sticking his fingers straight up your nose (i've gotten a couple bloody noses from this), playing with your eyelashes, and playing with my hair.
he sounds fun, huh? i sure like him in spite of all the painful things he puts us through :) he's a really happy baby and just loves to laugh. it's the greatest feeling in the world when you can make him belly laugh...not to mention how super cute it sounds!

...where does the time go?!
isaac turned 11 months yesterday! it just seems more and more impossible with every passing month that he's getting so old! and big! and smart! and handsome! ok you get the point... i have yet to take any of my own stats, but i'll try to get him weighed somewhere. i wonder how heavy the grocery store scales weigh...
...4th of July!
sadly enough, this is the only picture i got of my little guy on the 4th! i had my uncle take it with my phone to send to my cousin. at least you can see that we are sporting our nation's colors! it was a pretty relaxed day and the weather was wonderful! i actually wore jeans! we had dinner at my grandpa's and played pinochle until about 9:30. then we left and stopped by our across-the-creek neighbor's house to watch some fireworks.

...reba on my mind!
i had yet another dream about reba last night. it was awesome! ok so i was a student and our teacher gave us this project as an assignment. well i needed help with mine so i decided to consult my teacher. she called me after i had left a message that i needed to talk to her and it was REBA!! this is how the first part of the conversation went:
phone answerer: "kelllllly, it's for youuuuu...."
kelly: "hello?"
reba in all her twang-iness: "hey it's your bff...reba!" (she read my blog...)
i was so excited that she gave me her home phone number so i could call her anytime and she was so funny about seeing on my blog that she should be my bff. as the conversation went on (i have no clue what we talked about) it was clear she was more like my personal tutor not my teacher so i was the only one who got the special reba attention. i'm such a lucky girl...in my dreams!!
