Sneaky scheme

This past weekend, Jo and I were part a special surprise engagement plan. Everything went just as planned -- Jo and I decked-out our place with rose petals and tea lights and champagne -- but we thought you'd like to see the before and after shots. Don't you agree that Seth appears quite anxious while while we strolled the sound during the daytime, and that both look at ease after she answered "Yes!" over romantic dessert at our house? Congratulations Seth and Janelle!

Isaac at 6 weeks

Isaac at six weeks is getting more and more alert and even responding to the sign language we've been showing him. He is about 13.5lbs right now and eating WELL! There is picture of him holding his head up on his own during tummy time. But, I have to say...he sure is Daddy's boy. He gets to excited when Dan gets near him its so cute!

I have to say, I thought Isaac was regressing a little two days ago when he kept getting cranky during the night and started waking up again hour after hour. But what little faith did I have! Last night, I was so tired from kickboxing, I figure I'll catch a snooze early before the baby goes to bed so I can be prepared for the night feedings. I went to be before nine while Isaac hung out with Daddy. At 1:30am I woke up wonder if Dan had already taken the midnight feeding...What actually happened was that Isaac had slept from 9:15- 1:30am with no interpreting!!! I am so excited! He then slept from his 1:30am feeding till 5:15am...I am so excited for this new time slot. We'll see if this is his new routine, but it can be done!

The ears

Less elf-like than at birth, but still resembling Uncle Jake. Beautiful lobes, though, don't you think?

Isaac's 4 weeks old!!

It has been 4 weeks since Isaac was born. We can't believe what a difference we feel already..The overwhelming sensation of having a newborn is finally sinking in...I guess this babysitting job is not ending anytime soon. We had so much fun with our family and friends visiting and helping out!! Thank you sooo much! Isaac is feeding every 2-3 hours and last night had a stretch of 4 hours between feedings! He slept from 9:30pm-1am. I woke up asking Dan if he had fed him at 11 and Dan was like no..I couldn't believe it! Here are some more pictures..ps-our son loves his bath time. He sits in the tub like he is the king of the world!
