Isaac's sleep schedule is changing yet again. He is starting to take one big nap in the middle of the day and though we'd prefer if he not do that, so long as he is sleeping through the night, we don't mind. As proof that he has not doing the morning nap and afternoon nap thing anymore, when he was supposed to be sleeping this morning he did this:



He has become a Chinese acrobat in there (BTW, if you click that image you will see a picture of some doing the world's most difficult acrobatic maneuver according to the Guinness World Records).

There are some new pictures up, like this one:



I will be putting up some more stuff later this weekend.

On a final and unrelated note, he is now distinctly saying Mo Mo Mo. He is also saying Da Da Da and Mo Mo Mo in context correct situations. Leaps and bounds, leaps and bounds.

Isaac had his 9 month check up yesterday and did very well. Here are the stats:

Height: 28 inches
Weight: 18 lbs 12 oz
Head: 18.27 inches

He has, as all exclusively breastfed babies do, fallen off the weight chart (remember originally he was in the 90%, now he is below 50%). His doctor was not concerned, noting that this pattern is normal. She said that as he eats more solids and formula is introduced he will pack on the pounds. His head is still ginormous. Imagine if your head was as big around as you are tall, minus ten inches.

He also got a shot yesterday and I am assuming that today or Saturday will be his tough day, as that has been the pattern the last four times. He is never bad, just a bit sensitive.

On a different note, with the change in Daylight Savings we are able to go for evening walks again and Isaac makes a great mahout.

And finally, the date of Isaac's trip to Ohio has been set: June 16th-20th. Get ready for smooch attacks Isaac Anthony.

As many of you know Jon Lester is my favorite player in baseball right now and even though he is just 6 years younger than me and undoubtedly more highly compensated, I would, if possible adopt him. Yes I know he has both his parents, but his story of a star prospect struck down by cancer and making a comeback is just too appealing, even for a stat person, like myself, to ignore. His four plus pitches don't hurt either.

Anyway, he was named Boston's starter on Opening Day. Isaac told me to let his adoptive brother know we are all proud of him. I can't wait for spring time and the beginnings of Isaac's baseball apprenticeship. I only hope I am as good as my baseball teacher, my Dad, was.
