I had every intention of writing Isaac's one month blog...but here we are at two months! I can see why as a third child it's hard to find many pictures of myself as a baby/child, let alone a baby book (no offense mom...I totally get it now)!
Month one:
this is a blur mostly...even with my mom here to help the entire first month of Isaac's life...there isn't too much I remember about his first month. He did the basics: eat, sleep, poop. That pretty much sums it up! He did start to hold his head up a little on his own if he was leaning up against your chest. Definately a better sleeper than Karis was in the first month (although he is a very noisy sleeper, so we were glad to move him to his own crib/room at 4 weeks old)! In the first month, he proved to eat like a champion and like to spend as much time getting mommy's milk as he could...now earning himself the name "Big Man" and oh so affectionately "Chubs" or "Chugalug". It's adorable to hear Karis say Big Man (imagine the highest pitch possible coming from a 20 month old)!
Some pictures from month one...

proof that our children cry! (some
people think they don't since all they
see is happy babies in public!) |

Month two:
still a blur looking back, but getting a little more sleep on occasion. He has given us two "full nights" of sleep. One was a five hour stretch and one a seven hour stretch. He surprisingly enjoys tummy time at longer intervals than I expected of him. But a lot of the time he just wants to rest his head on the side and chill! He has also practiced holding that noggin up by sitting in his bumbo chair. He makes coos often, especially when he sees mommy, daddy or his favorite big sis! I like when he does a real loud happy squeal! It's been fun to watch him start smiling more and we make it a point to get him smiling a lot once he starts grinning. He will smile when you smile at him or even when you come into view, especially mommy (as daddy says, "he knows where his milk supply comes from and it makes him happy!") He was a healthy little boy when we went for his two month check up on Monday with the stats:
- Weight-10 lbs, 2 oz (17th percentile)
- Height-22.25 in (right around the 25th percentile)
- Head circumference-38 cm (12th percentile)

Big yawns! On his 2 month "birthday" we had a wedding
rehearsal to be a part of, he had a late night but did great out so late! |

We're having a blast with two kiddos! It has been an adjustment but we're making it work...just with a little more messy of a house than normal ;) I'll end with a favorite picture of him at 2 months, 1 day smiling big for mama!
