Catching up...Isaac's first Easter

I'm still attempting to catch up over here.  I couldn't let Isaac's first Easter get away without documenting it here.

We went to church in the morning, and Isaac wore his Sunday best.  I was running around frantically the day before.  I had bought his Easter outfit a few weeks prior, in a size 6 month, and the day before decided to try it on before I washed it for the big day.  This little chunky monkey wasn't going to fit in the 6 month!  At least not for more than that one day.   So, it was back to Carter's for an exchange.  His legs are so short though, that the 9 month pants were way too big, so I found some cute little shorts to go with it instead.  His shoes are from Target, and were indeed my favorite part of the whole outfit. 

I painted up an extra special Easter basket for my boy for his first Easter. I love the colors and how it matched his first Easter outfit.  It was filled with a little Easter book (which he loves chewing on still), a cat shaped like a ball (looks like Miles), a toy phone, a bunny, and a couple candy treats for mom and dad. (Come to think of it, I don't think we've even eaten those...yay for us!)

The rest of our day, we relaxed as a family, and went for a walk.  It was a beautiful spring day!

Doesn't daddy look handsome too?

Six Months...

Six months was such a fun age.  This boy's personality just keeps getting better.  As you can tell, he is starting to get a little ornery.  Ha! 
During his 6th month, he started rolling back over, sitting in the Bumbo, and in the cart at the store from time to time (with alot of help of blankets and the safety strap).  He loves, loves, loves his car bouncer, the cats and oatmeal.
This is also the month of Isaac's first Easter.

Five Months...

 

Isaac rolled over on 3/1/13!  I was such a proud mama.

He started making lots of noises, splashing in the tub, laughing those great belly laughs, and sleeping 12-13 hours a night.

He loved his rattle and Grover, and I introduced him to Baby Einstein videos, which he loved.

During this month, he started going to Grandparent's houses for the day from time to time so mom could get some work done.

Four Months...

At 4 months, Isaac was laughing at mommy and daddy, sleeping through the night (10+ hours...hello, rock star baby!), and watching everything intently, soaking it in.
He started going to the nursery at church, got to experience a major snowstorm when we got 20 inches of snow!
He was 17 lbs at his 4 month checkup (90%), 25.5 inches long (55%) and had a 17.5 inch head


*Yes, I'm a tad behind on posting these.  Just a tad....but better late than never!  I'll be getting them up as I can! 

I miss blogging....

I miss blogging.  I miss reading blogs too.  I miss the friendships and the inspiration I used to find here. 

I've been thinking about this alot lately.  About how I want to get back to visiting this place regularly.  I know it doesn't do much good to write about how I want to write, or to promise to be here more often, because it will just happen as it can. 

Tidbits, because that's what I have time for at this moment:

Since I quit my day job and reopened the shop, I've been blessed with more orders than I can keep up with.  I haven't even been able to find the time to add the new items I was planning on introducing within weeks of opening back up.  I do hope that in time those things will be a part of the shop.  For now, I'm holding them back.

Rest assured, I took Isaac's 4, 5 and 6 month pictures, they just haven't made it here....yet.

My days go by faster than they ever have.  When I was working my 9-5, I was constantly feeling like time was dragging by, and now, it seems every time I turn around another week has gone by.  It really is true that time flies when you're having fun.  I am certainly having fun!

At this point, I'm probably more active on Instagram than anywhere else.  I'd love to connect with you there.....come find me and say hello, I'm under jdavissquared. 

I'm still writing for Pregnancy and Newborn once a week.

I've completely changed my eating habits, and am actually seeing results on the scale.  Hotness, here I come! 

I guess this was all to say I'm still around, and I'm not giving up hope on blogging again!  Hope to see you soon!
