A shout out to "my boy's"

I just love my boy's. Isaac is so adorable and such a good baby--I feel so blessed to have him in my life. I am extremely grateful that the Lord has trusted me enough to send this sweet boy to our home so that I can be a mother to him, and Taylor can be a father to him. I love him!! And I am so extremely grateful for Taylor...he is such a good dad and husband. He is such an involved father--diaper changes, getting up in the middle of the night, etc--that it seriously means so much to me! He is so good to both me and Isaac. I am such a lucky girl to have these two incredible boy's in my life!!!

As for this last weekend, it was pretty eventful. We rented "Meet the Robinson's" from Netflix...and in my opinion...not worth your time. I was not a fan, sorry. Taylor's mom also came up for the weekend and arrived Friday night. It was great to have her here and allow her to meet her newest grandson a little more.


I think this next picture is hilarious. Obviously you can tell that Isaac is starting to get hungry because he'll eat whatever you put to his mouth....


Isaac is still not enjoying his baths...this is his crying face that just pulls at the heart strings...and he wouldn't let go of my hand.

But, after crying like that, he falls asleep and looks like an angel. There seriously is nothing like a sleeping baby.

Since Suzanne was here for the weekend, Taylor and I were able to go on a date!! Taylor's cousin is a coach for Cal Poly and they came to Pocatello this weekend to play ISU--and Taylor's cousin got us four tickets. So, Suzanne offered to stay with Isaac and Taylor and I went to the game with our friends, Heather and Karl. ISU lost and the game wasn't totally entertaining, but we sure love our friends!!! (I guess I should insert that the guys liked the game, but Heather and I were far more interested in other things, i.e. "does your son do this...oh mine does this...").

It was so weird to be away from Isaac for just two hours. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that our friends had a baby boy 7 weeks before us and they had their little guy with them, but seriously, I told Taylor I was ready to leave at the end of the 3rd quarter because I was having some withdrawal issues (plus the game wasn't that exciting....). Following the game, we went to Chili's and Isaac was a champ through it. Once we got our table, he slept through the entire dinner.

And this picture is for Nana...she bought Isaac this adorable outfit--that he wore through his first three-hour church block--but, Isaac is apparently hungry and not in the mood to look at the camera...haha....

I love the boys in my life!!!

I'm so glad you put up so many pictures--it's nice for those of us who can't see Isaac in person! I hope we can get up there to see him before he gets too much bigger! It sounds like things are going well, and you guys are all so cute.

Love the pictures! You may want to try giving Isaac a bath in his little baby bath tub (if you have one)...just fill it with a little warm water and lay him in it--if you don't fill it too much it shouldn't get his umbilical cord wet. Ethan didn't like his little sponge baths either, so we finally just bathed him in the tub and we were just careful not to get his belly button wet. He loved being in the warm water. Now that I'm thinking about it--I wouldn't want to get a sponge bath either! Being wet and cold doesn't sound like too much fun--I would probably cry too!
