6 Weeks

Today, Isaac turns 6 weeks old!

At my friend's baby shower last weekend, I had to laugh. People just think he's older than he really is. I think part of the reason is because he was late and a big boy. But, the other reason is tht he is so alert when he's awake. The two questions I got multiple times on Saturday were: "How old is he?" followed by... "Wow, how big was he when he was born?"

Updates on our munchkin:

*Outgrowing some of his 0-3 month old clothes already! Of course, he has some 0-3 outfits that he hasn't grown into yet either. Every brand of clothing is different. For the record, I LOVE Old Navy's baby clothes for how well they wash up and how well they fit the baby.

*Arches back when he's really mad. He's really strong-willed!

*Has gained more control over his hands. He'll bat at toys, push my hands away when I'm trying to wipe his face, and suck on his fingers to self-sooth.

*Will be getting his first REAL bath tonight. Due to his doctor's suggestion, we've only been giving him sponge baths up until now so that his cord and circumcision could fully heal. So, tonight... we dunk (as Josh has been referring to it). We are hopeful that he'll enjoy it... look for pics soon!

Enjoy the new pictures!
It's been fun making new noises to see Isaac's reaction. He made this face when I was "clicking my tongue" today. Such a curious little boy!
It's so cool now that Isaac really looks at us. He's great at making eye contact when we talk, sing, and play with him.
Last Saturday, Isaac wore his first pair of shoes! Too cute!
What's that in the lefthand corner? None other than our dog Sophie Girl's big 'ole nose! Isaac has been really taking more interest in the dogs. He likes to watch them and never fusses when they sneak kisses.
The infamous "pouty lip" that Josh claims Isaac got from me. Whew! We had quite a fussy night last night. Thankfully, he's been a good napper today. :)
