Isaiah was born November 4, 2009 and weighed 8lb 14 oz and was 20 3/4 inches. He is the love of our lives and we can't believe how great it feels to be parents! He now weighs around 12lbs and has turned into a cute little person rather than a wrinkly little newborn. He smiles, laughs and coos on a regular basis. He can hold his head up almost completely on his own with a few wobbles here and there and can bear weight on his legs when we stand him up. His favorite thing to do (besides being in Mommy's arms, of course) is to get his diaper changed. His least favorite things to do are getting put in his car seat and being laid down on the bed to get his clothes changed. It's strange, we could change his clothes anywhere else in the house and he would be fine but once we lay him on the bed, he wails. Funny how babies work, huh? He has a very love/hate relationship with his baths. They're terrible in the first instant, wonderful in the middle, and torture at the end. He loves to be sung to by Daddy and his current favorite songs are Old McDonald and anything from Pirates of Penzeance. There's nothing like watching Isaiah screaming one minute then as soon as Daddy starts bellowing "I Am a Pirate King," for him to stop, stare, maybe smile, and try to coo along. He loves the toys that hang down over his bouncy seat. He talks to them and smiles at them as if they are friends. In fact, that's what he's doing at this very moment. He sleeps really well at night. He started sleeping 7 and a half hours about 2 weeks ago and it has been the most spectacular 2 weeks since he was born! He is so laid back that the amount of sleep he gets at night has absolutely no correlation with the amount he gets during the day. He is a very happy and content baby, except when it comes to being away from home. He's a major home-body and seems to get quite fussy when he is not at home. He must get that from his Mommy and Daddy. We like to be home. Especially Daddy.
I will certainly post more updates on our growing boy now that we have settled into a really good routine. I'll try not to let as much time elapse before the next post. That's all for now!

These are such sweet pictures Irene! I love the mirror image-he looks so much older already! I meant to ask you, did you ever get your wedding gown issue resolved or is there still "nothing we can do about mildew" in the air? :) I hope not! I bet your life is so busy with Isaiah, but have you been able to snatch a few minutes to do some crocheting? I had to pull out my sewing machine to sew umpteenth patches on Lou's uniforms and I find myself getting more and more attached to it now!
Talk to you later!

Irene, I just wanted to pop over and say hello, welcome to River Rock Cottage, and congratulations on your little one! (although I am a couple of months late!). I hope you enjoy your visits to the Cottage and will come often. I love hearing comments, so enjoy adding your thoughts to the end of the posts! I look forward to visiting more!
So sweet!
Boys are fun. *grin*
