Here is Isaac playing with an odd stuffed dolphin toy. It has many colors and textures to stimulate baby's tiny brain. He was mostly happy to just follow it with his eyes while Dennis moved it around. That's what passes for play when you're nine weeks old. He has Nathan's old gymini play mat with all the hanging toys, but so far Gracie likes it more than he does. We're definitely seeing an uptick in his interest level, though, so I predict he will dig it in a few weeks.
One of the surprises of having the baby home is realizing just how loud he is when he's asleep. Dennis says Isaac is obviously my son, since I talk in my sleep, too. Isaac makes lots of little chicken noises and sometimes he'll startle and make a loud squeak. We usually fill in a cause ("dingos!") because we're slightly giddy and it doesn't take much to make us laugh.
Today was one of those days where every time we looked at him, we just fell a little more in love. We kept exclaiming over his wonderfulness and cuteness and obvious intelligence. Many many kisses were rained down on his soft little head.
