Babies grunt.

Our whole life has been rearranged to care for Isaac. We now get our errands done in two hour blocks, making sure that we don't interrupt his feeding schedule. This includes our daily errand of sleeping.

In the past two weeks, his facial features have developed such that Isaac looks more like mom. He is now able to grasp at fingers and hair, using his opposable thumgs. He can also hold his head up for a longer period of time. When people say that time flies as you raise your kid, they weren't kidding.

There are times of uncertainty, as Isaac does things which at first might not seem normal or healthy. One thing that has taken me a while to get used to is his grunting and straining. Because of the immature digestive system, some babies have to strain and push to poo or burp or fart. With all the straining and grunting that he does, I'm always afraid he might get a hernia, let alone lose his voice. It is kindof funny though cuz only babies can get away with loudly straining and grunting in public and culminate it with a great sounding fart. Lucky bastard.
