I is for Isaiah #2

Look at me! I am two months!

I have already been on two airline trips: Sacramento and Denver
I have spent time with Uncle Jonathan, Aunt Lesley, and cousin Anna

I have met all my grandparents
I like to smile, spit up EVERYWHERE/ ANYTIME
I sleep in my crib and enjoy my swing and bouncy chair

I don't fit in my newborn clothes anymore and have almost passed up my 3 month ones too
I got my shots, which I didn't like one bit

I weigh 13 pounds, have a big head, and blue eyes.....

What will next month hold? 

The Baby in two Big Cities

During the first month of Isaiah's life, we have done a lot of adjusting.  Not only were we figuring out a new baby but Mikey has been figuring out his career!  He spend four weeks working at a hospital in Sacramento.  It was so wonderful because he got to stay with my brother and sister in law.  Isaiah and I joined him for the last week of his rotation.  It was such a blessing to stay at their house and spend time with Anna!  The cousins got to meet for the first time.  Anna was not very interested in Isaiah at first... she still isn't that interested but she was able to acknowledge that he was there! They are very cute together and I can't wait till they can run around together.  Mikey and I also went on a date without the baby! Jonathan and Lesley were are first babysitters!! Can you guys do it again? haha

Mikey and I decided to spend two days in San Fran.  It was so much fun! We both really love that city and KNEW that Isaiah would too!  He was the star of the Cable Car ride.  He loved looking out the window and the people loved looking at him!  He did so good as we shopped, ate, and walked around.

Since being home I have been very closely monitoring Isaiah and trying to put him on a schedule.  He is pretty consistent in his daily wake up and nap times.  His sleeping at night is also getting better too.  Certainly everyday is slightly different...but I like consistency.  He is also getting bigger by the day! 

Newborn Pictures of Isaiah Michael

Nursery

I made his name banner out of fabric and ribbon.
Isaiah means Salvation of the Lord  and the Lord saves.  

I also made the letter I using a cardboard letter and wrapped it with yarn.  The Bible verse I ordered off of  Etsy.  It is Zephaniah 3:15.  I hung very cheap lanterns and a tissue paper ball.  I knew the lanterns were not my original idea, after visiting Jonathan and Lesley last week, I discovered where I saw the idea.... Anna's nursery!  So I copied you Lesley :)

When my sister, mom and I were in New York last December, I had just found out I was pregnant.   But they didn't know!  I managed to purchase a little baby scrub outfit at FAO Schwartz without them suspecting anything! haha

We have plenty of books to read.  Of course Aunt Sarah found a cute pair of poor boy boots....

The pillow is made by my mom.  I had the embroidery hanging up in my nursery and my mom converted it  into a cute pillow with blue backing for a boy :)

I is for Isaiah

One Month

Isaiah has already accomplished so much in his first month of life!  

*Seen all but one grandparent

*Spent a LOT of time with Aunt Sarah

*Was held by Uncle Jeff

*Stayed at Newport Beach

*Traveled to Murrieta

*Shopped at Target, Nordstrom Rack, and JoAnn's

*Ate at Crow Burger, Five Guys, Sweet Baby Rays, and Rubios

*Slept for 6 hours straight!

Isaiah enjoys looking out the window, being rocked, bounced, sitting in his vibrating chair and swing...anything that moves he likes!

He also has no control over his arms which we think is so funny, watching his arms flail up in his bassinet.

He doesn't always like his picture taken

He can strike a good pose

He can't sit up by himself

He is starting to talk or make noises...ie our nickname- Mr. Squeaks 

Baby's First Two Weeks

Isaiah is just hours old in this picture!

Proud father with his son!

Lisa and Katie were even in town to visit Isaiah when he was just  3 days old!

Sleeping when I can!  My last full nights rest was August 7th, and I am adjusting now to sleeping 3 - 4 hours a night.
