Slobbersaurus

Isaiah has had a big couple of weeks.

While I was out of town, Jo-Elle transitioned him out of the bassinet in our room and into the crib in his nursery. He has dealt with it admirably, without complaint or crying.

The move was brought about by another big change for the little guy---he can turn over. He prefers to sleep on his chest with is butt tooted up. It's pretty cute, but requires a lot of space to move, hence the change of address. Its still quite a production, taking many tries and he still hasn't figured out how to get his arm out of the way...

...But he has figured out how to grab things. Toys, glasses, necklaces. And his grasp is pretty strong, despite his hand being completely coated in slobber.

As you can see in the sun-dappled photo here, in the last couple of days it has seemed as though he is putting on the chub. His face looks a lot rounder. It is a quick and positive change as he is light for his age (four months next week...).

This weekend we went to the 57th Street Art Fair in Hyde Park where Isaiah aquired his first piece of art (to go along with my show prints on his nursery walls).

I am blanking on the young artist's name, but her bold colors and simple lines drew my Zay's attention. Of course, the fact that her tent had blown down overnight, forcing the art to be displayed on a fence made it pop out a bit more on the sunny day.

We Isaiah got the big piece with the fox, hawk and squirrels in the lower left hand corner.

I think he's got pretty good taste...I like the piece a lot too.
