August 2007

August 1-August 7, 2007
On Sunday Levi said his first word (besides mama) and it was. . .you guessed it, “ball.” Yep. Just the same as his brother. James was playing with him and he said something that sounded pretty close to ball.
Levi is definitely into toddler mode now. He wants to walk all over the place and he does. Goodbye crawling. He can stand up by himself in the middle of the room
Isaac actually went pee pee in the toilet while standing up after bath time today and then said, “Mom now I Have to go shopping for the Swiper book” “Mama quiero el libro de swiper.”
“Levi no swiping” –this is Isaac’s new way of telling Levi not to grab his toys
My friend Carmen came and watched Isaac and Levi this week and I told to speak only in Spanish to him make him practice. She slipped and asked him “Queires apple juice?” and he said “No, Carmen--Quiero jugo de manzana” I thought that that was pretty funny.
We did a lot more swimming this week. Isaac is an underwater animal—he likes holding the green floatie and kicking now too. Levi’s is happy to splash around but he prefers to escape from the pool and toddle around exploring things.




















August 8—August 12, 2007This week at HEB one of the worker’s named Omar gave Isaac a red balloon and Isaac was on cloud nine. He kept wanting to go back to the store and get more balloons from “Amor”—he can’t pronounce “Omar” correctly and calls him “Amor” hee hee Isaac is definitely in the “I can do it myself” stage. He wants to try to put on his own clothes and car seat buckle. He’ll say “Isaac can do it herself” Swimming at Brenda’s pool—Isaac had an awesome time in their baby pool.Isaac comes up with cute sentences en Spanish lately. I asked him “donde esta el libro” and he said “esta abajo de las escaleras”Our neighbor named Hanako has a sister named Suzako who was visiting with her daughter Samantha who is Isaac’s age and we had a lot of fun hanging out with them this week. Isaac called Suzako “Snoozako” which was pretty cute.I took the boys to Andrea’s birthday party on Saturday and almost got a ticket for following a car the wrong way through a detour. Luckily the police had bigger fish to fry. It was pretty scary though. We finally made it to the birthday party and Isaac was in heaven with all of the balloons. We brought 4 of them home and the first thing he wanted to do was go home and set them all free. Starting on August 9th Levi is an official walker. He rarely crawls and just stands up and starts toddling around. Very cute
