Work, Friends, and Sleep!

Friday we poured cement at the shop and corrals. We attempted to put Issac's hand print in it, but he just wanted to grab a fist full of it!

Sunday we visited Gauglers in Harlowton and met Alexis Marie. She is just 16 days older than Issac, and a real cutie! Here's the new dads with their babes-Josh & Lexie, Bryan & Issac.

Our latest achievement is Issac sleeping through the night! Bryan has been feeding him from a bottle at 9:30 pm since he eats a little more this way, then he's been sleeping until 4:30 or 5:00 am the past two nights. It's so wonderful not getting up in the middle of the night, although I still wake up since my body clock was getting used to the 1 or 2 am feedings.

Issac had his 1 month check-up yesterday and has gained over 3 pounds in the last month! He now weighs 10 pounds 13 ounces. Needless to say, he's very healthy and growing before our eyes.

His first time in real clothes-he is so cute in these overalls, and new shoes from Chele!

Here's a real smile

What a grin!

Issac's latest developments, besides that great smile, include rolling up onto his side and cooing. He's always moving his arms and legs when he's awake, which is a lot more often now. He's so much more alert and moves his head to check out everything around him. He doesn't particularly like the camera and flash though, so I was lucky to get these smiles.

A perfect sunrise from our front porch. We are so blessed to live where we do, and have these kind of views from our living room and kitchen table!

Happy Birthday!

Happy 21st Birthday Levi! Hope you have a great day, don't party too hard!

Issac is 1 month old today. He's growing so fast! More pictures soon.

First smile & snow!

Issac's first real smile absolutely melted my heart! He was awake, alert, and looking right into my eyes when he grinned. Then I made some funny faces and he smiled even bigger. It's amazing to see him starting to interact more and more every day. I couldn't leave that precious face to go get the camera, so I'll try to get a picture next time.

The first snow of the season started last night, and this is the first time Issac has seen snow. We even ventured outside in it for a trip to town. I'm not sure what he thinks of the snow yet, I had him bundled up so tight he probably didn't even notice. Forecast for Judith Gap this weekend: 100% chance of snow from now until Sunday night with accumulations of up to one foot. Looks like a good weekend to cuddle by the fire!

Two weeks old tomorrow!

Look at that adorable smile-I love it! It will be even better when he'll smile like this when he's awake and not filling his diaper.

The first two weeks have gone so fast. He's already growing and changing before our eyes. At his one week check-up he had gained 3 ounces already! He is a wonderful baby-he eats about every three hours and gets up only once or twice during the night. He loves being held and dancing around the house. We have been enjoying the beautiful fall weather with temperatures in the 70's and sunshine. Issac sleeps through our walks outside, but we all enjoy the fresh air.
