Practice Makes Perfect

We've been very busy here at la casa Gillota: between attending convocation, hosting a departmental bbq, and packing for Miami, I haven't had much time to post.  Isaac hasn't been doing too many new activities, but he's shown some additional prowess in what he already does.  In addition to being extremely vocal now (does ghee count as his first word?  He says it all the time, and it's an integral component in Indian cooking), he's also sleeping longer at night (close to twelve hours!).  He also now flips to his belly every time he's on his back.  This morning we found him on his stomach in the crib like a little turtle, just grinning away.

Isaac's also liking cereal more, though eating solids is still a messy process--mostly because Isaac now gives us a big, open-mouthed smile he gets a mouthful. 

Of course, now he also bangs his hands on the high chair and verbally demands food between every bite.  You can see him "hooting" above.

He's also liking the Exersaucer for longer periods of time because he's figured out how to eat the various components of it.

He particularly likes to press the buttons with his tongue.
