Saturday: sleep

Today I thought I would talk about sleep.  My sleep, specifically.

1. It seems like I'm more tired now than I was.  I don't know if the newness is wearing off, I haven't gotten more than four hours of sleep at a time for three months, I'm going to bed later, or there are no "deadlines" that I need to accomplish stuff for.  Probably all of the above.  Wednesday I took three naps, but most days I've been getting in about two lately.

2.  When I get back into bed, it is easy to get in on my back or sides and pull the covers up.  But then rolling over onto my stomach takes so much effort.  I thought there wasn't a way to get into bed on my stomach while pulling the covers up, but I did it once.  I haven't managed to replicate it though.  So pretty much every time I crawl into bed I think about this problem.

Friday: 15 weeks

And again, we have some pictures!

He just woke up...I'm off to feed him!

Wednesday: outings

Today we had two outings.

First we went to story time at the library.  We almost missed it because it was in a different place than last week and the checkout person gave me the wrong information.  Luckily the children's librarian came over and pointed me in the right direction.  Isaac seems to enjoy it...or at least watching all the people.

Then we went on a walk with a friend from college and her five month son.  It was a bit cold out, but once we got walking it was nice.  It was fun to get caught up again.

Tuesday: firsts

Today we had a lot more firsts.

1. I went to a new dentist and brought Isaac along.  He was doing ok, but the reception ladies ended up watching him and seemed very happy to do so.  I think it was a rather slow morning.

2. Isaac and I then stopped by Ben's work.  We met his coworkers and saw his cube.  Ben put Isaac in his chair and tried to convince everyone that Isaac could take over for a while.

3. We went out for lunch with Ben.  For some reason it felt extra-special.

4. Isaac wore a bib.  He's been rather drool-y for a while, so I finally put one on him while in the exersaucer.  It was a good decision...the thing got soaked.

5. We used our grill!

Monday: 10 years

It's been 10 years since Mom died.   Dad, Isaac and I went to the cemetery.

I again feel like I should have something special to say, but I don't.  I wish she was around to get to know Isaac (who got to spend some time in the exerciser for the first time today.)  And I wish I was able to hear her stories of when Nathan and I were young.

Sunday: Happy Easter!

He is Risen!  Hallelujah!

Besides celebrating the resurrection of Christ, we went on an Easter egg hunt.  It was Isaac's first, and my second.  I had a ton of fun.

Loot from Great-Grandmas!  (There are a lot of books but they aren't new...just new to Isaac.)

Finally, Isaac seems to have found his tongue.  He would stick it out if we stuck our tongue out at him.

Saturday

Isaac wore sock monkeys today.  So we played with the sock monkey jack-in-the-box.  (By the way, does anyone else think it is weird that there are so many jack-in-the-boxes that have monkeys in them when a weasel goes pop during the song?)  Isaac is good at looking at the camera, but not so good at smiling at it yet.

Ben also put together our new grill.  We haven't used it yet as we forgot to get propane.
