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!
