No more bottles, horay!

Well, we are officially done with bottles. Isaac has never really liked his bottles. It was always a fight to get him to sit still long enough to drink them. So, we gave in, and he is totally doing great with his sippy cups and whole milk. The kid just eats and eats... I guess I don't know what it's like to have a child that eats. Ada never ate, and still doesn't. Yesterday, we went to walmart for groceries and various walmart purchases, and we had to have to buggies... Crazy! Lately Isaac has been sleeping late, like 9:30 to 10 or so and we were thinking that if hes growing then he's gonna want to eat more... we are big trouble. I'm really going to work at a job that pays if he keeps this up!
He now has four teeth, two bottom and two top, and more are coming. He's just growing way to fast. Still cruising but not quite ready to let go and walk. He wears 18 to 24 month clothes and his shoe size... 5.5. that's right, his little toes are so long. Ada I think wore a size 2 shoe when she was one.
Ada has just recently started to be a little aggressive towards Isaac. Now that he wants to play with what she has in her hands, or some of "her" toys, which she thinks all the toys are hers, and I guess really they were bought for her, but anyway, she's not happy about him touching any of them. I think my plan is going to be to let her pick a few toys that are off limits and take them to her room where Isaac can't get to them and then explain that all the toys in the playroom are every one's toys and we share them with everyone. That's fair right?
Now, the problem with Isaac is that he has to learn he can't have the toy in her hands and that Ada can't push him down when he tries to get it.. that's really hard to explain to a 3 and 10 month old.
Looking forward to the fall coming, ready for some cooler weather for sure, but not ready for darkness at 6 pm. MOPs is about to get started and once again I am doing the crafts. I am gladly accepting ideas for this year if anyone has any. We only have about an hour so it has to be fairly quick and simple, but I would love some suggestions.
