splish splash he was taking a bath

Isaac gets a bath the old fashioned way, in Grandma and Grandpa's kitchen sink

What happened to my weekend?

Short weekend, since I worked yesterday. Sweet pal spent the day with grandma, while I spent the day telling people that the internet was down and fielding complaints. You'd think the library was just a giant internet cafe or something...


Nice lunch at Wholly Joe's today with Brian. We brought Isaac with us and he did quite well. He didn't really fuss at all, even though he was very sleepy. After returning home for a 2+ hour nap, we left again to go visit Grandma and Grandpa All for dinner. 

Time to pump, then head for bed. Isaac has been sleeping for over 5 hours already, so I need to catch some shuteye before he wakes up and wants to eat again in a few hours. Luckily I don't have to work until 1, so I can sleep in tomorrow if he'll let me.

Sweet pal, corner pocket

No more 'nanas?

But....I love bananas!

Sorry pal, they're making you puke. I think you love them a little *too* much. No more nanners for a week or two. Let's try something boring next. How about oatmeal?

Yes, we have no bananas

Or at least, we will run out soon, because Isaac loves them. He wasn't too crazy about the rice cereal, but we couldn't feed him bananas fast enough. What a big boy he's becoming...

No, seriously, you should probably stay away right now.

I've had a fever off and on for 2 days. Came home from work at 9:30 tonight to find it was 100.6°. I curled up on the couch in a blanket and slept for 2 hours, and its now 100.8°. I really need to be at work tomorrow if at all possible, due to a busy day filled with lots of job-related programs being held.

But then again, they don't want me if I'm sick. Hoping I just wake up in the morning feeling better, and I don't have to leave any coworkers up a creek...



(One unexpected annoyance of being sick with Isaac around....even if I have someone else take over feeding him until I feel better, I still have to pump every few hours, or I will wake up in a puddle of milk. Sigh.)

Doctor's visit

I took Isaac to his 4-month checkup this morning. He had to get two vaccines, but luckily only one was an injection. He has officially doubled his birth weight now...he is 14lbs, 0.5oz, and 24.5" long. That is roughly the 25th percentile for height, but 50% for weight (and 50% for head circumference too, 16" around)

While we were waiting for the doctor to come in, he was having fun looking in the mirror above the exam table. I wish we had a similar setup somewhere at home. He really loved seeing "the other baby" in the mirror.
