Isaac's First Bath

For friends and family far away, we want to share this video. He'll probably hate us for it later in life, but we thought it was too cute!

One month and counting…

Yesterday, January 2nd, marked exactly one month since Isaac entered the world. He is doing great. As of our last check up, which was a little over a week ago, all of his numbers were perfect. He was in the 93rd percentile for length (I wonder where he gets that from?), 67th percentile for weight, and 55th percentile for size of his head. It has really been an amazing month. We are trying a best to get him in a comfortable routine. He does fairly well, but each day brings a new adventure. We seem to have figured out the morning routine as well as the evening routine. His mom is still doing very well at keeping him well fed through the night. If we could just figure out during the day, we’d be set. I’m sure parents out there are reading this and saying, “Welcome to parenthood!” At least everyone I talk to has a similar response. Some days we sleeps, some days he’s happy and content, and other days, well, let’s just say there’s no doubt that the boy has a strong set of lungs. He’s beginning to get more control of his head. He’s picking his head up and turning to look at us when we speak to him. He’s doing well following his one of his rattles with eyes as well. He also seems to be a big fan of the bath, very content and happy any time he’s in the water. Megan has managed to keep her sanity through the month, while I finished up the Advent and Christmas season at the church. Now begins a whole month of both mommy and daddy being home. We consider ourselves very blessed to be able to have this time together.
