My sweet Isaac,
In so many ways it's been an absolute blessing that I'm not working. My love for you truly grows every day and I love spending every day with you and experiencing the world through your eyes. You've grown so much and went up another size in clothes. At five months old, you're now in 6-9 month clothing. I also started the paperwork to get you a passport and believe it or not that prompted a great deal of discussion around your eye color. There are days when your eyes are blue as the ocean and other days where they're brown but almost hazel like a tootsie pop. As much as I would love for your eyes to remain blue like mine, I suspect they'll turn over the next several months to a wonderful hazel/brown like Papa. Your hair is also starting to grow and it appears to have a very fine texture. The color also changes depending on the lighting. When the sun catches your face the strands of hair catch the light and shine a vibrant strawberry blonde and in the glow of the evening light it appears to have more of an auburn hue. Papa and I both love watching you change and grow.
You experienced many new milestones this month beginning with the introduction of solid foods. The first baby food on the list was squash. Initially you didn't care too much for this but as a few days passed you started catching on to the concept. I have to be honest the baby squash didn't look that appealing. However you did like the sweet potatoes! Unfortunately, after three days they did cause you to have an unpleasant diaper rash. No worries though. We took a break from the potatoes and moved on to carrots with no problems.
Isaac, it is so entertaining to interact with you and help you discover the world around you. It's an automatic response for you to put new things in your mouth! It doesn't matter what it is, a new book, a plush toy, a blanket, your hands, and even your toes. This month you discovered your feet and boy have you exerted a great deal of effort to reach your feet and wiggle around until your sweet little toes were in your mouth. If you're sitting up, you bend over nose to toes and topple over. If you're laying down and catch a glimpse of your feet, in the blink of an eye, you've pulled them into your mouth. I've probably encouraged this with bright colored socks and pajamas that have bears, puppies or stripes on the toes. You absolutely love them!
You've also become a big helper too helping Mommy out during diaper changes. :) As a result, you now have a special toy just for diaper change time. Mr. Moon is your new friend and he keeps your hands busy and out of poopy messes so Mommy has less mess to clean up!
Isaac, you are a very sweet little boy and I'm proud to be your mother. You're easily entertained with tummy time and getting stronger each day pushing yourself up and learning to sit up. I love your cuddles, giggles and sweet little smiles. You light up my life and melt my heart. I can't wait to see what you discover in the next month.
Love you!
