At 20 months:
Isaac is sleeping in a toddler bed! After catching him nearly climbing out of his crib, we transitioned him to a toddler bed. Mama had to play "goalie" for a spell one evening as he got the lay of the land in his new digs, but all in all it was a smooth transition and he seems to be enjoying his newfound independence. I very much appreciated a lifeline call to our former Parents As Teachers representative in Juneau, the one and only Talea Kellar! (Thanks so much for your helpful tips, Talea!) Oh, and he can also open doors now! Bring on the childproofing. :)

Isaac is very into basketball right now and loves to watch the older boys play at the Y. A special treat is for Mama and Isaac to "play ball" before we leave the Y, which means Mama gets an extra upper body workout by lifting him up to "shoot the ball!" into the little kid hoop over and over. To honor his new enthusiasm, we took him to his first Drake University basketball game. He watched the game for a bit, but meeting the mascot, Spike the bulldog, and watching the drum corp halftime show were a little more exciting for him.
Here's proof: (if his first ER trip was any indication, and his ability to sit still during this performance is another indication, I think we may have a drummer on our hands)...
At 20 months, Isaac also participated in his first march for women's equality! Des Moines showed up with 26,000 fellow marchers, well surpassing the anticipated 10,000. Can't wait to show him these pictures and tell him the stories of his first steps into participating in democracy. :)

Isaac also started wearing the first pair of sunglasses that he doesn't immediately rip off his face. This bodes well for all the sunshine Iowa is offering our post-Juneau-squinty eyes.
He even likes wearing them indoors!
