The Park is Open

We now have one of the best lawns in the neighborhood thanks to a surprise by Dan's dad, Dennis, on Friday morning. I walked past the window and realized that there was a man on a lawnmower cutting our grass and raking it up. Thanks for the help!

Mornings

This last week, this is how Isaac has begun his day. How can you not smile back?

He Should Be on the Demo Video

Well, Isaac had his 2 month check-up today. He is weighing in at a whooping 11 lbs. 13 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. His head his 15 inches. That puts him in the 50th percentile for weight and about 25th for height and head. I guess the new formula is helping pack on some pounds! I knew he was a good eater!

Along with his growth checks today, Isaac had to have "2 shots and a drink" as the doctor put it. Before she started, the nurse warned us that babies who are 2 months old do not do well with the drink. She said they usually try to spit it out, so have the pacifier handy so we could give it to him to help suck the liquid down. Well, that wasn't necessary! Isaac gobbled that medicine down without a drop to spare! We didn't even have to wipe his mouth or anything. Apparently it tasted pretty good! The nurse was so impressed, she said, "He should be the baby on the demonstration video on how to administer this. This never happens with babies this young! This is great!" Dan and I are pretty sure that as much as she bragged on him to us, she went and bragged on him to the other nurses. (At least that's what we're going to think as the proud, medicine drinking parents) As far as the shots, he wasn't a fan but did get some cool camoflauge band-aids to help!

I think the doctor's visit wore him out. He was due to eat an hour ago, but hasn't made a peep since we left the doctor. We'll just let him sleep for now. I'm sure he'll eat soon enough. Way to go today, Isaac!

Bumbo

Isaac has been holding his head up a lot on his own lately when being held. He especially likes to work his muscles when he's burping, which makes the task a little more difficult. Because of his new talents, I decided I would get out the Bumbo seat and see what he could do on his own for a few minutes. Drum roll....

Halloween

Here are a few pics from Isaac's first Halloween. Being on a Saturday, we were able to trick-or-treat to family.

Isaac even got to trick-or-treat with Bella at one stop!
