Isaac is 20 months and is on the fast track to becoming a 2 year-old.
He's doing great with the potty, especially when we're out and about. He'll have an off day every so often that coincides with with being emotionally fragile or overly tired. Nudity is his preferred dress code. Despite my efforts and always starting the day off clothed, he usually finds a way to finagle out of his pants at some point.
He lives life at 90 MPH, but has found an appreciation for slowing down and relaxing at times.
This weekend, Joe and I set out to catalog all of Isaac's words and found it to be a difficult task to keep up with. His language skills have exploded in the past few months and he has become a very effective communicator, often speaking in 2 and 3 words phrases. Here's the list of words that we came up with and only includes things that Isaac says on a regular basis, understands the meaning of and can say clearly enough that someone other than his parents could understand:

Whew! Well if you're still with me, here are some other things we've been up to:
Having friends over and enjoying the level of comfort that comes with a consistent play group.
He also finds lots of ways to stay busy by himself.
His most recent obsession (besides anything with wheels) are the set of horses that once belonged to Daddy.
Along with our trips to Dallas and College Station this month, Isaac and I also went for a midweek visit to Anna's.
"Listen closely, girls. Cousin Isaac will tell you the ways of the world."
Early morning cousin party all piled into bed.
Isaac was completely and totally interested in whatever Luke had or was doing.
