As of this week, Isaiah weights 8lbs and is 19.8in. Normally infants are given 2 weeks to get back to their birth weight. Isaiah passed his birth weight in 11 days, so we can assume he’s eating well. Isaiah is a very easy-going baby. He sleeps, eats, and stays awake for a short while in between feedings – though sometimes he sleeps and eats and then continues sleeping until the next feeding. He’s doing well at nights. I usually feed him before we go to bed and then again around 3AM. He’s very nice to his mommy!

After Becca’s stressful first few weeks home, I wasn’t sure about having an infant. But I’m loving it. He is the sweetest and cutest little baby boy in the world (of course I think that because I’m his mommy).

Becca is a sweet big sister. She never wants to hold Isaiah since she’s afraid he’ll spit up in her. But she likes to kiss him, help me rock him in his chair, and bring him toys.

Wednesday night I was by myself for the first time with the 2 kids. Josh was at church. Mom was out with a friend from seminary days. Both kids went down well and all was quiet in the house until right before both adults arrived home. Isaiah woke up hungry and crying and Becca woke up crying and in a miserable state. I could not get her to calm down and ended up having her sit on the couch with me while I fed Isaiah. By the end of the evening, I had both little babes sleeping in my lap. Sweet moments.
