Favorite Sleeping Habit

Our little baby boy has discovered that he stays warmer if his hands are tucked under his soft blanket. Either that or it's more comfortable than his arms up above his head (which is his other favorite). It's been quite a few weeks, maybe three, Isaiah goes to sleep by sucking on his little hand. He turned 12 weeks old yesterday and I do believe we have the best baby! He sleeps like a true champ. We started having him sleep on his tummy at 8 weeks and he sleeps so well. After he eats we play for about an hour and then he starts to yawn and suck on his hand. I take him to his room, sing a quick song, lay him on his belly, sometimes I have to pat his bottom, and he puts himself to sleep....amazing!!!

Bouncy Chair

This is Isaiah's new favorite place to be. If you watched his other video his favorite toy is his red robin. Well this little bouncy chair has birdies that chirp and a tiny sticker of two birdies that he stares and laughs at. It's the little things that amuse all of us isn't it? Thanks cousin Lily for letting Isaiah borrow your bouncer!

Date Night!

Mommy and Daddy went on our first date since Isaiah was born! Grammy came up earlier in the week to watch Isaiah while Momma worked and Grampy came up later to help Boone do some dirt work in the backyard. It was somewhat spur of the moment...Grammy told us she would watch the boy so we decided to be spontaneous...to live in the moment and be bold. That's right we went to the movies!!! It was great fun to get out. It felt just like our first date. We watched Drillbit Taylor and ate hot dogs and popcorn. It was a great night. Thanks Grammy for watching the baby boy :)

Big Boy Outfit

This is my favorite new outfit. I wore this to church on Sunday and I think I look pretty cute....at least that's what my momma said. Check out my kicks!

10 Weeks Old!

Our baby boy is growing so fast. He had his 2 month check up at the doctor's and he now weighs 12 pounds 4 ounces....so big :) Here Isaiah is playing with his new favorite toy, the little red robin. Thanks Aunt Jackie this toy is fabulous!

See Isaiah PLAY!!!!!

Here is a video clip of the boy on his favorite mat. He enjoys tugging at the blue and pink monkey or staring at the purple elephant, though he is a bit more scary than the monkey. He also enjoys the crinkly ears on the elephant and the mirror. He is growing up so fast, approaching 8 weeks this Saturday! We love having him around!

We should be updating with more pics pretty soon. In fact I will be posting one more blog tonight on the time he enjoyed spending with grammy while Stacie worked her heart out this past week.

Baby Jack Baby Sack slings rock!!!!!

I figured it was time to update you all with a few pics. While I was at it, I decided it was time to also tell you all how much we love our sling! It was made with love by Jennie (Baby Jack Baby Sack) and is the most practical (and fashionable) thing we own! Stacie uses it every time she cooks dinner. She places the lil' guy in, tightens that strap, and goes to it! We are so thankful we have something that serves such a purpose. To find out more about how to order one of these slings or some other really cool devices (Chic Eats), go here.

The top picture was taken tonight. Our boy is 4 weeks and 1 day old. He is awake a lot more and is making us smile all the time. We think he is on the verge of cracking a smile, but he may just be getting all of his gas out! Anyways, Isaiah is such a joy to have around, we wouldn't trade having him around for anything. We thank God daily for this little gift!

*** Just a side note, Costco photo center sucks (They are deleting my account) so I will likely be using a different option. When I do, I will send out an email with the new service.
