Isaac cutenesses -- woobie!

mamajoan1. "Woobie" is how Isaac says Ruby. Ruby is the name of a character in a series of kids' books (the Max series by Rosemary Wells if you must know). Isaac will grab one of the books and say "Max book? Max Ruby?" Only it's really "Max woobie" and it is the cutest thing EVAR.
2. Two Tuesdays ago, I picked Isaac up from daycare a little early and told him we were going to gramma's house and then going to get ice cream (on Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day). The following Tuesday, I picked him up a little early and said "we're going to gramma's house" and he immediately said, "eye-keem?" That's my boy! ;)
3. My mom has a photo in her kitchen of herself with me and my brother Bart (taken a few years ago). Isaac is always interested in it and says "mama, gamma" and since we have told him it's a picture, he says "mama in the picture" ("mama-la pitcher") or "gramma in the picture ("gamma-la pitcher"). My mom has started saying "Uncle Bart in the picture" to try to teach Isaac who the other person in the picture is, but it's hard for him to conceptualize since he doesn't really remember Bart, plus I muddy the waters by saying "Uncle Hartie Bartie" (his nickname since we were teens). So Isaac has been having some trouble grasping it, although he will repeat "uncle bart" when we say it.
Anyway -- so the other day we were there and Isaac started with "mama-la pitcher" (me: "yep, that's mama in the picture") and "gamma-la pitcher" (me: "yep, gramma's in the picture too"). And then he frowned in deep concentration for a moment, trying to remember the words we've been teaching him for the other person in the picture ... and finally he comes out with: "Broccoli!" ROTFL!! I have to call my brother and tell him that his nickname in our family is now broccoli.
4. Last night Isaac ate almost an entire half of a lime. LOL!!! I had made guacamole using half the lime, and the other half was sitting on the counter while I was doing something else, and he wanted "up" as he often does so he could see what I was doing. So I picked him up, and he spotted the lime and said "orange," and I said "no that's a lime" and held it to his nose for him to sniff (he's just learning about sniffing/smelling things). And he grabbed it and tried to take a bite. He of course made a horrible face, but then he said "yummy lime!" and tried to bite it again. So I cut it up like I would an orange, and gave him the pieces, and he ate them all down, occasionally making a face and/or shuddering, but still eating it and saying "yummy" and "more" after each piece. LOL. What a little wacko. ;)
5. Isaac is learning the concept of other/another, as in "give me your hand, now give me your other hand." When he has his diaper changed he likes to play with a sock, and he constantly gives it back to me and says "other sock? another one?" and insists that I take a different sock out of the drawer for him. Last night I was undressing for bed and I had one cup of my nursing bra open, the other closed. So when I took off my shirt Isaac said, "where's the other boob?"
6. Isaac's latest obsessions are tunnels and bridges. On our street, a few blocks down from our house, there's a bridge that goes over some train tracks. The bridge is under construction so it's closed to cars, but you can still walk over it. He LOVES pushing his stroller over the bridge ("up-a-la bidge") and then down the other side ("down-la bidge") and then we turn around ("turn-ownd") and do it all over again. I kind of like it actually, because it's pretty low-effort for me and keeps him SO happy. Lots of people ride their bikes over the bridge, or jog, or walk their dogs, so there's always a lot to see. Every time we go into or out of our house he sees the stroller (I keep it on the front porch, dumb me LOL) and he starts saying "ride stoller? push stoller? up-a-la-bidge?" One time I told him, "we aren't going up the bridge now, but you can go up it later with Sally" (his babysitter) so now whenever I refuse to do it, he says "up-a-la bidge wi Sally?" And when we ride in the car, every little hill we go over, "up-a-la bidge-a-la car?" So I am trying to teach him the difference between a bridge and a hill lol. He also loves tunnels and whenever we drive under an overpass, he yells "TUNNNNNNUUUUUULLL!" LOL! He likes to make tunnels out of whatever for his toy cars to drive through -- like under my legs or arms, under pieces of paper that are lying around, whatever.
7. In case you hadn't noticed ;) he says "a-la" or "la" a lot. He uses it as sort of an all-purpose article, preposition, pronoun, etc. He pretty much says nouns and verbs, and then uses "a-la" to fill in the rest of the sentence. Like "Isaac sit-a-la chair?" (Isaac sit in the chair) or "Mama-la do it?" (Mama to do it) etc.
8. This morning when I dropped him off at daycare, his little buddy Makena came over as she often does to "help" me take Isaac's jacket off. Then after it was off, she put her arms around him and he put his arms around her and they had a big hug! It was sooooo cute I could have died.
In conclusion, I leave you the following adorable pictures of Isaac on the beach from a couple of weeks ago:
one little one
and one biggish one.
:D

The cuteness is indeed lethal.
