my babies...

...look so alike! I love it:) Joe and I were browsing through old baby pics of our kids and commented how much Isaac looks like baby Judah!

Can you tell which is which? Probably not since I haven't posted many pictures of Isaac yet:) Top one is Judah and bottom is Isaac - you can definitely tell they're brothers! Now I need to find a baby pic of Ethan with his head facing that way....

My baby is doing wonderful; he had his 2 month check (already?!) and is a superstar baby!

Stats:
Height - 1' 9.25" (3.94%)
Weight - 9 lb 11 oz (10.21%) WOW! good eater I guess:)
Head Circumference - 38 cm (12.22%)

All our kids have big heads so that was no surprise...but 10th% for weight? Way to go Isaac! We make tiny kids *case and point: Judah's 18 month stats.... 0.78%? Judah's been moving up the percentile ladder though - he'll have his THREE year check (seriously?) soon and we'll what his new stats are!

Life is good. Busy. Tiring. Rewarding. Exhausting and energizing all at once. Totally worth it!

This and That

Wow I'm bad at keeping up on this thing! I think of wonderful ideas for posts and have ALL these adorable pictures to put up...but they're not on here. Instead of that here's a sampling of this-n-that of happenings around here!

*Isaac will be 8 (EIGHT!!?) weeks this Saturday! Wow. I know with each kid times seems to go faster but mr. Isaac is in hyper-speed! I'm making sure to take time to sit and stare at my baby - he sure is a cutie! Those dishes can wait:)

*Isaac is now smiling! We haven't gotten a picture of it yet - soon! I love the 'happy eyes' that accompany his smiles:)

*I am now a certified group fitness instructor! I went to a 3 day (came home at night) training last weekend and passed both my written exam and audition. I pumped for 3 weeks prior to make sure I had enough breast milk for Isaac and I had MORE than enough! Whew. I was worried about that. I brought my pump with as to keep my milk supply up (and keep me more comfortable!) - success! Isaac latched right on when I came home in the evening and we're back to our normal routine as if nothing changed:) score!

*It's starting to get cold. brrrrrr. I'm not a fan of winter or being cold; we went to Target today and I put the boys in their winter coats - I'm sooo not ready for this! I guess it makes me appreciate our wonderful Spring, Summer and Fall we get - silver lining? I'll call it that:)

*Isaac got weighed last week and he's already 8 lbs 12 oz! WOW! This kid likes to eat:) I don't know how I'm going to handle carrying the bucket seat this winter - my right arm is going to be stinkin' strong!

*Isaac still likes to party with me at night....aka: he doesn't like to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time at night. It'll come with time....right? right. My other boys didn't sleep chunks at night for a few months (Ethan is was TEN months before he slept through the night....come on Isaac - show up your brother!) Thankfully when Isaac wakes at night it's to nurse then he's right back to sleep. Not too bad.

*The big boys are doing AWESOME adjusting the Isaac. It's almost like he's always been here:) We're getting our groove down for daily stuff (getting ready in the morning, going into stores, making dinner, etc) and the big boys are doing wonderfully:) They love it when Isaac is awake and makes little noises (not crying of course!)

*I have a TON of ADORABLE pictures I need to post. I've been using Joe's Mac and (sadly) don't know how to load my pictures on here...so I need Joe's help. Hopefully soon I'll get them on here and show you all how stinking cute my kiddos are!
