Well, it's been WAY too long since I've posted. Life got extra busy in the month of August! Isaac is growing like a weed, so I'm excited to share more pictures. We still take tons...we're a little obsessed with the little man. :) He's mastered holding his head up and loves to sit up and watch everything going on around him. The Bumbo seat and the exersaucer are favorites. (And yes, I know the Bumbo seat has been recalled, but no, I will not put him on a table in the Bumbo and walk away...) He's rolling over from belly to back and back to belly. Unfortunately he does it for just about everyone but his mommy and daddy. I've seen him roll over once from his back to his belly, but he's denied Stephen from seeing him do it at all. The other morning he rolled over TWICE while I was home with him, but when I wasn't watching. Of course... He's so sneaky. He's becoming quite the chatty baby as well. We love hearing him coo to himself in the backseat as we're driving somewhere. We'll even have little cooing "conversations" with him. These are seriously the best parts of my day. I feel like the newness of having him around or "honeymoon" phase of having a baby (as some websites have described) has definitely not worn off. I love every single moment with him. Even the midnight feedings. I know that sounds crazy, but sometimes I think it's like our extra little snuggle time. So worth waking up for.
Meeting baby Owen and Matt for the first time.
Isaac's first Royals game
Isaac's first Bubalo golf tournament.
We made sure him and Owen had an "I'm a Bubalo" onesies!
Uncle Will got to watch him for a week before heading off to college!
Since my last post, I have returned to work. It was so hard. I missed him SO much. I think the only thing keeping me going was knowing that in just over a month, he would be joining me at school. August was a crazy month filled with a whole mix of people watching him (6 different people to be exact). We had wonderful family and friends watching him and I could not be more grateful for their help, but it is the best to have him in his classroom just two doors down from me. I get to take breaks during the day to go feed him and occasionally take the long way to the bathroom so I can peek in his window to watch him play. It's wonderful. It's the best thing besides actually getting to stay home with him. Since Stephen doesn't work on Mondays, he gets a Daddy-Isaac day, which I love also. So glad that he gets that one-on-one "man" time.
Hanging out in the pool!
Going swimming for the first time!
Now that he's started at school, I think we're starting to get on a good schedule/routine. Or at least I like to think that we are. I still am loving every part of being a mom and am so in love with our little family. The summer has brought lots of changes between Isaac's arrival and Stephen's new job. Things are looking up and can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
Our disaster of a three-month-old picture session...
He has been so easy to pose for pictures before, but he was not going to let us get one good picture in this time. It wasn't that he was fussy or upset about us taking pictures, he just was not going to stay still.
I think this is just about the best one we got...if only I wasn't in the background.
King of the Bumbo
He made up for the unsuccessful picture session by giving me these big smiles a few days later.
Love him so much!!
