Baby Isaac Update

Isaac hit the five month mark last weekend. Aside from the fact that he no longer sleeps like the proverbial baby, he is still the sweetest little bunch of cuteness that there ever was. Isaac was sleeping through the night until he got an ear infection. Now it's been more than a month since he's slept through the night and I've given up hope that he'll return to blissful seven hour stretches of sleep any time soon. No matter--Isaac is worth every bit of lost sleep.

With eyelashes longer than the the legal limit, Isaac is quite the charmer. He lives up to the meaning of his name, "laughter," by keeping the entire family beguiled with his smiles and giggles. He almost never cries. (Let's be honest--he's not allowed to cry.) He contents himself very well by sucking his thumb and keeping a close eye on all his siblings and their antics. I'm sure Isaac is taking notes so that he'll know exactly what to do as soon as his motor skills mature.

The other night I was giving Isaac kisses on his neck solely for the purpose of making him laugh. He giggled and giggled and I kissed and kissed. Then I stopped and Isaac pushed his neck into my face because he didn't want the game to stop. Of course I obliged and resumed kissing him because he is just the cutest and smartest baby ever. Who can resist warm chubby baby neck, anyway? Scrumptiously irresistible.
