Continuing to Grow

Isaac had his two month check up this week. He is now 10 pounds 12 oz and 23 inches long. It's hard to believe he is almost twice as big as when he was born. Isaac was not happy about the vaccines that came along with his visit, but he seems to be over that now. The pediatrician said everything looked great. He is starting to smile a lot more now and becoming more interactive everyday. It has been bittersweet going back to work. I enjoy time to return e-mails and interact with adults, but at the same time miss spending the day with Isaac. I have gone back part-time, and am only working 2 days a week now. My sister Kristin has been in town this week and has been a big help running errands, watching Isaac, and helping clean. We took Isaac to see the lights at Opryland for the first time. He enjoyed his stroller ride view of the countless lights.

Thanksgiving

We took our first road trip with Isaac to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. It went smoother than we originally had anticipated. He slept most of the trip (now his sleep schedule is thrown off and he is staying up late at night). We had a great time visiting with family and friends. Isaac got to meet his cousin Madison, and I think she motivated him to start becoming more active. Madison was very fascinated with having a baby around the house. We celebrated Christmas while we were there. Isaac got a lot of presents, and he even dressed up as Santa and Madison was Mrs. Clause. We also celebrated Luke's birthday while we were there with cake, presents, and ice skating. He was pretty good at ice skating considering he is from the south. Luke and I were able to go to Chicago for a night while my parents watched Isaac. It was fun to see the lights and do some shopping, but the best part was sleeping through the night for the first time in two months.

Starting a Blog page

I decided to start a blog to share pictures and updates of what our family is up to (mostly what Isaac is up to). Since we have a lot of family and friends who live far away, we hope it will be a great way to share what is happening here in Nashville. With the new addition to our family, I only have internet time when Isaac allows for it (which currently is not very much). So there will not be daily posts (weekly posts would be a good goal).
