Isaac's New Trick

Wiped Out

I can't seem to get Isaac to nap in his crib, but he seemed pretty comfy on the Boppy. He behaved himself pretty well while I booked a bunch of airfare. Lance and I are officially taking a housing scouting trip to Nashville and my mom is coming out to babysit. We'll see how we do being gone from Isaac for 2 whole nights (and we'll see how grandma does!)

Isaac still loves his bath. He is getting so big! He is almost 3 months old!!!

Isaac's New Trick

I know this seems like a small accomplishment, but to his mother, it is amazing. In the last week or so, Isaac discovered his hands. He loves sucking on his right hand non-stop. It is so nice because he doesn't need his pacifier all of the time. Way to go Isaac!

New 'Do

I finally did it. I've been telling Lance I was going to cut all of my hair off for ages, but this time it actually happened. Allison came with me for moral support and I was lucky enough to be put with the gay-est hairstylist there (which totally put my mind at ease). I can't believe how much (yucky, frizzy) hair was on the floor by the end. Gross. Allison took pictures, so once I get around to getting them from her I'll post them maybe.
Now that I'm a mommy, I can actually have an easy to style mommy hair-do. I cut it on Friday and the stylist told me if I wanted it shorter to just come back once the shock of actually butching my hair wore off. So, I went back on Saturday for him to take more off the top and decided to die it darker while I was there again. I like it MUCH better. Goodbye wet ponytails!

SMILES!!

I somehow managed to catch a few smiles on camera. He usually only smiles at us when we're changing his diaper. He usually thinks it's the funniest when he's had a major blowout (which is happening on almost a daily basis...arrgghh). He is getting so big (not to mention cute and fun!).

Hanging out with Allison

Isaac and I spent the day with Allison last week. We were going to get our hair cut, but ended up working on Quiet Books instead. We'll miss having Allison and Curt so close to us when we move to Nashville!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter Sunday this year. We were able to spend the morning with Curt and Allison (who made us a delicious breakfast) and watch the morning session of General Conference. Next, we had lunch at our bishop's home and watched the afternoon session. Isaac finally started smiling within the last week or so. His first (social) smile was the day of his blessing. My 7-year-old nephew, Kohl, said he was going to make Isaac smile, and I sarcastically said, "I'll give you $10 if you can make him smile." I felt pretty confident in my bet as he hadn't started smiling yet. Lo and behold, after a few 'peek-a-boo's' Isaac let out a huge grin. Kohl was content to settle for $1 in change. Now he loves to smile when he's getting his diaper changed, but not for the camera yet!
