Feb. Update

Isaiah is still progressing wonderfully!  He has a few dozen words, a couple two word combos ('want daddy' and 'daddy go').  He's able to climb onto our kitchen chairs which is a huge milestone for him, and we are working on throwing a ball!

At 27 months, the 'terrible twos' seem to be emerging, and they are awful.  Isaiah is clearly frustrated with his difficulty communicating and has been hitting, pulling hair, throwing fits, and all that good stuff.  We really lucked with big brothers, who seemed to breeze through toddlerhood with minimal fits.  Noah went through a brief biting phase when he was getting his first set of molars, but neither ever hit, and fits were only ever seen when they skipped nap time, so it's a whole new learning experience for us!

Isaiah's teacher was here last week and told us that they discussed Isaiah at their monthly meeting with the school district since he should be starting this fall.  She said they just discussed some of his issues, and progress and hopefully we will get to meet someone from the school's special education team when we have his transition meeting in May.  Exciting stuff!

Big Brother's are doing awesome.  Noah's reading is getting better and better, and Eli is almost convinced that his name should always be spelled in the correct order…almost.  We put together their new rooms this month (Thanks to my sister!), and the big boy's will be completed when we get their new dresser this week (hopefully!).  I'll put a few pictures up when we get the dresser.  Isaiah's is a bit of a hodge podge right now.  Eventually we will get bedding that matches the room for his future big boy bed.  And maybe even a headboard :)  It's a bit cluttered with the crib and a full sized bed, but he doesn't mind :)

Brandon is going to be 30 next month!  I'm starting to think about throwing him a party of some sort, and I'm managing to make myself even busier than before with some fun new commitments I'm excited to begin!
