I love this picture even though it's blurry because you can tell he's just having a blast!
Isaac loves daddy cuddles in the morning. He usually sleeps through the night until about 5:30 or 6 and then he wants to eat. Sometimes he wants to play a bit and sometimes not. Either way David takes him downstairs and helps him fall back asleep eventually and then David either sleeps or plays games or reads. It's their daddy, son bonding time. He's very sweet to let me get the extra rest! I just can't sleep with Isaac; every time he moves at all i wake up.
We started doing tummy time with Isaac propped up on a pillow instead of flat on his tummy. He enjoys it much better now. And it's so fun to see how strong he's getting. It's amazing that babies just learn how to do all these things with their bodies without anyone telling them or really showing them how to do it. It seems impossible to me that someday fairly soon he'll roll over and sit up, crawl, walk, etc. It's amazing that they just can learn those things without being taught. Almost everything we learn in life is taught to us by others but moving around we are able to learn to do on our own. It just blows my mind!
In other news I'm going to go off Dairy for a few days to see if it's bothering Isaac. I'm not sure if he has an allergy of some sort or if he just has some occasional rough patches with his digestion for no reason. He usually does just fine with everything but today he woke up from his nap with the saddest scream and then continued to cry in pain for 20 minutes straight. It seemed like he was trying to poop but didn't get much out. He eventually calmed down after a blessing and ate and pooped and was back to his normally cheerful self. So i guess I'll try no dairy and see if there's a difference and then go back on and see if there's a difference. I really hope he doesn't have a dairy allergy! Just looking at our menu this week most of our meals have dairy in some form. This could be really sad :( but not as sad as hearing him cry in pain for 20 minutes.

I love that second picture of him on his tummy! And I'm glad he's liking the tummy time on the pillow :)
Wow, such a yummy baby! I love him so much.
As for the dairy connection, if you do find he has a sensitivity, take heart. That kind of thing (Audrey had it) usually lasts only six months, nine at the most. And usually the worst of it, where you can't have ANY dairy at all, is pretty short.
After a few months you will probably be okay cooking with things that have milk in them, like if a casserole has cream of mushroom soup or something. But at first you have to read every label and you have to avoid every trace of dairy, and that "nonfat milk solids" phrase is in almost everything that is prepared.
If you make a mistake and have something with milk in it, you can give him mylicon drops, which saved me on many occasions.
Love you!

He's so cute! I love these pictures :) Good luck on the no-dairy thing. It sounds not particularly fun, but I hope it offers a solution. If you're having problems, just come to China with me! There's NO dairy here, so you'll be safe.
