sitting pretty

Within a matter of a couple of days mr. izzy is sitting on his own. He went from sitting with support, to sitting with little support, to sitting on his own and tumbling over (there were a few head smacks involved), to sitting on his own. He loves this new vantage point, and seems to be observing the world in a whole different way.
On a completely different note, he has also begun eating rice cereal. I have been mixing it with different fruits and veggies, and he seems very fond of it. He also loves avocado and tofu (like mother like son), but his all time favorite to date - nectarines. He slurps them up with excitement.
In addition he has started laughing at the characters on sesame street. It is really funny to watch the expressions on his face. He used to just seemed fascinated, but now he seems to almost be interacting. He has preferences for characters, Sunffy being his favorite.


Also today, we took our first trip to the grocery store where Isaac sat in the cart. We used our new cart cover which worked out perfectly. Mr. Elephante, and Horse Hair Willie came along with us for the trip (the also conveniently helped to prop Isaac up). It was so much fun to introduce him to different kinds of produce. He seemed enamored by all of the textures and smells. When we got the the water bottle section he was blown away as he is incredibly fond of them.
It seems like every day he is doing something new, moving slightly differently, and becoming more of a little boy. It is so exciting to watch and such a close distance.
