Blue eyes

(I've probably forgotten some things and forgotten pictures oh well)
He moves his head back and forth while being fed occasionally
He cries bloody murder before bed almost every night which I'm starting to be okay with. As long as I've tried everything I can then I hold him to comfort him until he is ready to calm down. So now I don't worry too much.
He is close to giggling
He almost always has an explosion (dirty diaper) when my mom holds him, it's hilarious!
He sucks on his fists a lot
When he is sleepy he likes to play with our hands and he rubs his eyes now
I now put him down for naps every hour in a half to two hours and he only sleeps for 20-40 minutes
Always trying to sit up when he is laying down lol
When I try to take a picture of him with my phone he looks at it like what are you doing lol
He also sucks on his bottom lip sometimes
And is really good at holding his head up and standing
I bought him some teething rings, I'm trying to get him to stop sucking/chewing on our fingers but he likes it too much.
He loves to take walks with us
And he talks and talks sometimes and squeals
I never thought I would love his stretches but I'm starting to love those
Lately some things will make him SCREAM and just not sure why
1. When we sing happy birthday and then blow out the candles
2. We walked past ambercrombie and Fitch and he screamed I think cuz of the strong smell
3. Certain houses he will once we walk in and I think cuz it's new and most the time he gets used to it and then calms down but sometimes he doesn't
He had his first bad rash and thankfully butt paste made that go away
I got an app called the wonder weeks and its a must have in my opinion. Tells you when they will probably be fussy an for how long



Sorry it's been awhile I just haven't taken the time to blog cuz I haven't been in the mood too
We bought a blu ray player so that's pretty cool since our play station doesn't work anymore.
We've been to this restaurant called la jolla groves at gateway and they have great desserts!
I got a new phone... iPhone 4... It's okay but I should of gotten a different one or stuck with my original phone. But I wanted an iPhone so I would of been upset if I didn't get to try it.
I'm still pumping.... Occasionally we will do formula if I'm behind but not very often. Can't believe I've made it through 3 months of pumping. I either am gonna try to get him back to just through me or pump this whole child and next one work hard to keep them on just me.
It's emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausting being a parent. Always trying to keep them happy and healthy and helping them reach their milestones. Your always doing something but I try to take some me time once a week to just get out of the house and take a breather.
But I also love it more and more and have those moments when I randomly feel overwhelmed with love for Isaac it's pretty awesome
I seem to keep losing weight but now im starting to eat a little more so hopefully that will help
I haven't really done good at starting to exercise or learn things but after we get settled in our house I plan to get Isaac and I on a better schedule
There are something's that I'm not gonna know how to do once we aren't living with my parents but we will manage
We have all sorts of fun and exciting plans for our house. Hopefully all of it works out. The soonest we can close is the 30th of this month. The latest is September 6th if the rural loan doesn't get done by then then we pretty much won't get the house. Soo hopefully all works out
I keep wanting to look for dining room tables and thing like that but until we get the house we don't have anywhere to put anything yet
I will take pictures once we paint and get some things settled in.
I have our paint colors picked out for the house finally and now deciding on carpet color
Our room: 3 light blue walls 1 silver/grey
Isaacs room: 2 light blue walls 1 light green 1 silver/grey
Spare room: 3 silver/grey walls 1 light green
Bathroom: 3 light purple walls
Kitchen: 4 silver/grey walls
Living room: 3 silver/grey walls 1 dark green/blue wall
Hallway: silver/grey walls

I LOVE his blue eyes

He loves when daddy comes home

i love this picture

he loves taking baths, i wish i never had to take him out but you have to

10 weeks

10 weeks old
We are doin formula every other feeding cuz I was stressing out cuz I couldnt keep up. So now I'm more calm and know he is getting enough and my extra milk I have been freezing or refridgerating.
He loves to chew and suck on our fingers.
It's so funny to watch he struggle to put his whole fist in his mouth.
He likes to stand and sit up more then lay down somedays
We tried to bumbo and he kind of likes it.
He watched some mickey mouse club house that was cute
So he eats now 4 to 5 ounces sometimes 3 so we are getting him the right amount now.
He has been scratching his face at night so I need to remember to put his gloves on. Lately he has a screaming fit at night for a couple minutes, I think cuz he doesn't want to go to bed lol
He still loves going on walks
And also now cries when someone else takes him from Spencer or me. And they can't calm him, I feel bad cuz its not that he doesn't like them he is just comfortable with us. And then they give him back to me and it takes me awhile to calm him down but he will calm down for me or Spencer.
He still slobbers like crazy.
He wiggled in his sleep and makes silly noises day or night. And gets up every 4 hours at night or 3. Sometimes 5 but not as much as he used to :(
I just love him to pieces.
We try to do more tummy time so we can strengthen the muscles he needs to crawl.
He eats from 6 to 8 ounce bottles now.
He will either help hold the bottle or hold my finger.
I tried the crib but I just couldnt do it yet. I hate to leave him in a room all by himself even though I can hear him on the monitor but he is getting to long for the bassinet
I've been trying to figure out paint colors for the rooms in our house. That's fun and stressful.
The earliest we can close is august 30th so im hoping its then not the 10th of September
I'm really excited but also really nervous to own a home. It's a big responsibility.
My ear is better not 100% yet. I can hear a little more and its not swollen and only hurts a little bit. In time I'm sure it will be 100% better

loves his mobile

bumbo cuteness

amazing blue eyes

mirror fun!

sitting outside on the tree stump

his cute announcement, it turned out great!

Two Months Old

Two months old!
Thursday he was hungry so I fed him a bottle but 2 wasn't enough but I hadn't pumped more yet wo we decided heck why not try the old fashion way. And he latched and ate for like two minutes.
So we try here and there and he latched 3/4 times.
Saturday he ate for ten minutes! I was a proud mommy! I don't know if it will last cuz I'm constantly worried I won't have back up in a bottle if he doesnt latch.
He smiles more but still has fussy moments. I realized if I put him in his crib when he naps he sleeps better and longer so that's our new thing.
He goes to bed around 10 ish and sleeps until around 3 ish and then sleeps until either 630 or 830 :)
He likes tummy time a little better but still doesn't last long.
He likes sucking on Fingers like ours not just his own.
Almost every single time we lay him down to change him he screams. It's so frustrating but I know it can be normal.
We finally got his newborn pictures and so I made an amazing baby announcement!
Sometime we will try and put him in his crib to sleep....
We tried it once and after an hour he screamed. I just hate leaving him alone in a room :(
Monday was his appointment. He is now 10 lbs and 11 ounces. He was in the 50th percentile but now down to the 12th so it causes concern but he is healthy so if by his 4 month appointment he isn't bigger they will have to change something. He is now eating 3 ounces or more but I did read they should be up to 4-5 ounces. At least he is healthy.
He is now 22 3/4 inches long!
All looked and sounded well then came the shots :'( I hate being a mother in cases like this. I know shots will keep him healthier but the painful process kills me. I hate seeing him cry like that. It shows how much I love and care for him though.
Also his doctor is leaving so he will get a new one :( which I'm sad about because dawn Powell was a great doctor, hopefully this guy will be too.
Oh and can't do half formula half breast milk if I don't make enough because Isaac does not like the formula, he can tell the difference even if he is starving so that means I might have to start pumping more and making sure I'm making enough food for him. Oh boy
I have an ear infection, I have no idea how I got it. And it has messed up my jaw so now its hard to eat things. I'm putting drops in my ears until Thursday, hopefully when the swollen goes down it will put my jaw back together. So I'm kind of deaf in one ear which helps when he screams lol
Our closing date has moved to September 10th, ahh we are so close but so far away.
I'm still waiting to kind of feel back to normal but that may never happen lol
I could start working out again but I worry about it. When Isaac has a better napping schedule I will be able to plan my workouts a little better.
I have a list of things I want to learn and I'm really excited but not sure how to go about it yet and where to start.
I dont want to sit around and watch tv all day but its easier then keeping a house clean lol
It's harder to keep things organized right now since we are so close to moving and getting things a little better organized there. Sigh I'm bad at cleaning. I have no drive 75% of the time. Also the day is over before it begins sometimes. It's hard enough eating every meal. But I'm slowly getting better at that.
And need to do more church things as well.
We are surviving I think... Lol

I said I would add more pictures from last post since they were't loading but... that wont happen cuz i can't remember what ones they were, sorry.

this is kind of his new nap time place plus still bedtime place (he is getting too long for it)

the puppy he got from J

he is so precious when he sleeps

Happy 2 months!

My happy boy!
