More evidence that Isaac is growing up

This morning Isaac decided he didn't want to be in his crib anymore. I could hear some noises, but couldn't figure out what was going on. I just thought maybe they were throwing things or just doing weird things in their cribs.

I was just about to go get them out of their cribs when all of a sudden the door opened and in walked Isaac. I guess the noises I had heard were of him getting out of his crib. Shawn said he heard Isaac say bye to his brother, so he had wondered what was going on as well until the door opened up. I am going to still leave them in their cribs until the next time Isaac decides to get out. Then the toddler beds will come out. I guess it is pretty good to make it to 32 months before having to get out the toddler beds.

Isaac's potty training is doing pretty good. He was dry for several hours after I had changed him in the morning, so I brought him back to the bathroom to see if he had to go and he went. Then when I came back home after shopping I brought him back to the bathroom again. His diaper was wet this time, but not much. I asked him to go again, and he went. I have just bought some Pull Ups, so we shall see how well those work. They are the cool learning ones, so if he goes to the potty in them, they will feel cool to the skin. I told him to tell either mommy or daddy if he has to go potty before he goes in his diaper.

I'm a big boy!!

Guess, what?!? Isaac went potty in his toilet tonight. I was getting them ready to go to bed and he was acting like he needed his diaper changed. I took his diaper off and he was dry, so I put it back on. Then we was like, potty, potty. So I took him out of the crib and brought him to the bathroom. I took his diaper back off and he sat down on the toilet. After a few seconds he started going and he went quite a bit. It was so exciting. My little boy is growing up :( I figured he would be the first to actually go, because he keeps saying potty all the time.

Bath time potty

The boys were taking a bath tonight like any other bath night. When we were just about done with it, Isaac stood up and it looked like he had to go potty, so I told him to go and he did. This was the first time when he actually went when I told him to go. We shall see when the next time he goes.

Back from Myrtle Beach, SC

Last week our family went to Myrtle Beach, SC for our annual family vacation. This year however, we had more people with us. It was Linda and Dave, as usual and then Shawn's cousins Michelle and her husband Shannon, Luke, Pete, Justin and his wife Kristin. We drove out there, and surprisingly, the boys did a great job. We drove straight through and only had to stop a couple of times for food and gas. The boys did a wonderful job.

The boys really enjoyed being out in the water and playing with the sand. Here are some pictures from the trip.

More Myrtle Beach pictures

Here are some more videos and pictures from Myrtle Beach.


Shawn took this video. He was kind of far away, but you can kind of see what the boys were doing and it is a great video of the beach. Brady was the one closer to me and Isaac was kind of roaming around. Brady just loved laying down in the sand and waiting for the water to come get him. He would sit up right before the water would hit him. Isaac had enjoyed being in the water the first time we brought him out there, but then the second day we went out to the ocean he was afraid of it. We don't know what happened that scared him, but he became very afraid of it.

Here is a closer video of the boys.


I guess towards the end, Isaac has trying to imitate his brother by laying down in the sand, but he didn't lay down very long and only did it once or twice.

On Friday, we went to Broadway on the Beach which is a great area. It is a shopping area, dining, bars, play land. Basically anything you think of, it is probably there. The boys really enjoyed riding the rides. Here is a picture of me and Brady, well, mostly Brady while we were riding on the cars. The boys really loved that ride. I think they rode it 4 times, they went on 8 rides total.
