It is amazing to see the progress that Isaac has made in 9 short weeks.
1. Officially rolled over from back to front
Yes I know that he should've done this at 4 months and not 10, but in his defence, Isaac was fat and lazy. He could've back then, but I think he chose not to. Now that he sees Chloe running around, we wants to join in the fun.
2. He can climb stairs... but not down
He's got lots of practice since the first 6 weeks we stayed in places with stairs - including a deathtrap in Paris which had no railings. Coming down he still chooses to go head first though.
3. Can stand on his own
Yes - Isaac has officially stood on his own unassisted. This lasted a full 20 seconds... until he realized what he was doing, sat down, and started crying. He's never stood unassisted since.
4. Has increased his vocabulary by 600%
This stat sounds a lot more impressive since he really only knew how to say Mom in Mandarin before travelling. He now can say: Dad, Big Sister, Eat, and Milk in Mandarin in addition to being able to sign for "more" which is very helpful when eating.
5. He has developed the "Khoo Quaffe" :(
As much as we hoped for Isaac to have the same hair as Chloe, he unfortunately does not. Chloe has Mommy's texture (fine) and Daddy's volume (a lot). Isaac unfortunately has the "Khoo Quaffe" which speaks for every male in the Khoo family line. He has a lot of hair but it will be the tough wiry texture that will make him destined (if left untreated) for formidable afros that will give Jules Winnfield a run for his money. If you've met my brother, you'll know what I mean,.
