The Hartin Family

I don't have any new photos to post but here's a couple cute Isaac stories for you...

I usually put Isaac in his playpen in the living room for a little bit each day so that I can get some housework done. We have several toys in there for him to keep himself busy with. A few days ago, while I was on the computer checking email and such, he was playing nicely in his pen when I heard him start laughing over and over. I went to check on him, making sure he couldn't see me. As I peeked over the edge, I saw him laying on his back, holding his monkey rattle soft-toy thing. He would shake it to make it rattle a little, then hold it up, look at the monkey's face and just start laughing with the biggest smile. It was really cute to see him entertaining himself so well! Of course, I couldn't get to the camcorder fast enough before he had moved on to another toy!!!

I have become a light sleeper since the day I got married. I'm not sure why, but I wake up at the slightest sound. Ben tends to talk in his sleep when he is really tired. So I'm always waking up to some part of a conversation he's having with some random person in his dream. Well, the other night I woke up hearing Isaac laugh. I thought, there's no way he could be awake at this hour, so I got up to check on him. He was still asleep. I listened a little longer and he laughed again. A few seconds later he pulled his knees up under his bottom, stretched his arms out over his head and let out a long sigh. It was so cute! I don't know what he was dreaming about but it was funny watching him. I guess he got that from his daddy, too! :)
