The best job ever!

Hello Everyone! I was just sitting here, trying to figure out what I was going to write, and the overwhelming message in my heart is how much I LOVE being a mom! It really is the best job ever. Despite going through some days without a shower, with spit-up on my shirt and elbow deep in dirty diapers- I wouldn't change it for the world. It can be the worst day ever but one flirty little smile from my baby boy and I'm on cloud nine. He has such a great personality and continues to amaze me each and every day. He smiles and laughs and "talks" all the time. I just wish I had some idea of what he was saying to me! I sincerely hope that some day soon, I will be able to stay home permanently with Isaiah. I believe that we are all put on this earth for a purpose, and I have always felt that my purpose was to be a mommy. Nothing else seems to matter- no job could ever be as fulfilling! We'll see what the future holds!

This past Tuesday I took Isaiah to the doctor for his 2 month check-up. He is doing great! The medication for his acid reflux seems to be doing the trick, because he is spitting up much less and is a happier baby. Here are the stats for his 2 month visit... Length- 22.75 inches (up 3.25 inches from birth), Weight- 13 lbs, 4 oz (up 6 lbs 4 oz from birth) and Head Circumference- 41 cm (up 6.5 cm from birth). He has definately been growing well! At birth, Isaiah was in the 50th percentile for all three measurements for his age. Now, he is in the 50th percentile for length, 75th percentile for head circumference and 85th percentile for weight! He's built like his mommy and daddy! He also got his first set of immunizations. OUCH! He was not a happy boy!

Not much else has been going on. We've been spending some quality time on our tummy trying to get those neck muscles strong enough to lift up his head. We've also had a few playdates with Liam and Danielle and a visit from Jeremy's Aunt Susie. I'm just trying to take advantage of each and every moment that I have with Isaiah. I know my days are numbered, and I'll be returning to work soon. I continue to hope and pray that Isaiah will get all the love and attention that he deserves when he goes to daycare.

Here are a few pics from the last couple of weeks.

I fell asleep on my changing table while waiting for my bath- bedtime can't come soon enough!

Smiling Man!

Hello everyone! Where do I begin? We have been having a lot of fun the last couple of weeks. Isaiah is still an eating machine and is growing like a weed! We have been having some issues with him keeping his food down- he has been spitting up- a lot! We just went to the doctor today and Isaiah was given some medicine for acid reflux. I know we just started it, but he has been a much happier baby today. We also had a HUGE accomplishment last night- Isaiah slept for 6 hours straight! I can't assume it's going to last, since he regularly wakes up every 2-3 hours, but he're hoping. The last couple of weeks he enjoyed watching the last Colts game at home, visiting with family at Keystone Mall, watching the ball drop on New Year's Eve, hanging out with our best friends, The Tschida's, playing with Nana so mommy and daddy could go see a movie, and practicing his smiles! Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy. I can't believe how big he is getting and how much his personality is coming to light! He is such a little man! Hoping the Colts would make another Super Bowl run. There's always next year! My third cousin Zachary and me. Napping on mommy's lap. First kiss of the New Year! Daddy and Liam, Andy and Me. Me and my best buddy with our mommies. Me and my Nana.
