Talking

It's amazing to me that you'll just be going about your day, business as usual, and out will pop a word. Isaac tends to do something once and then wait for awhile before he does it again (take, for example, the rolling over thing...he did it the first time and then just decided not to mess with it again for several weeks). So, needless to say, we have not heard "Jack" again. The fact that he takes these long breaks makes you start to wonder if you were hearing things in the first place. There have been several things he's "said" that Paul and I turn and ask each other "Did he just say ____?" One can never quite be sure if he said what you thought you heard or if it's just that you want it to be a word (and it is amazing the amount of things you can be convinced are words). But I'll be if he didn't just go and say something plain as day that couldn't be missed. Paul took Isaac into his room to read to him before putting him to bed. Paul turned on the moniter and was joking around saying "Can you hear me now?" and then told Isaac "Say hi to Mommy. Hi Mommy" etc. All of a sudden Isaac says "Daddy." And we aren't talking about the dada thing (he's been doing that), but a full fledged, well pronounced "Daddy." It was absolutely stunning! (I must admit I'm a little envious that "Mommy" wasn't first, but it was just so doggone cute to hear!) Of course, in true Isaac fashion, we've had silence for the past few days...I'm just dying to know what the next word will be.

Here's some unrelated eye candy. My cute little boy is getting so big!
