Attempt at 9 month photo shoot

Well we haven't gotten Isaac into a professional photo studio since his Easter photos at Walmart. I tried a few shots just to get us by a little longer. Not sure if we're going to have his 9 month photos taken or just wait until he's 1. However we need to figure out where to go with Caleb. At this point something cheap and simple is all I'm looking at so it might be Walmart again!!! Anyway here's my little man!!!

Random pictures of the boys!

This weekend was a busy weekend. Aunt Erin came home to meet Caleb and see Isaac which was nice. We also got to spend a lot of time with cousin Caden and Aunt Gina and both sets of Grandparents. Aunt Erin brought the boys some Hawkeye clothing which is very cute on them. It's hard to get a good picture with both of the boys. Isaac likes to try and grab Caleb's hair if we're not watching. It's just the beginning I am sure!







Hawkeye boys!

Caleb is 1 week old!

Well the first week we have had our ups and downs. Caleb didn't do so great sleep wise our 2nd night home. Ross ended up bringing him downstairs to let me sleep which was nice. But now we have figured out that if we put the boppy pillow in his bassinet and lay him on it he will sleep really good. Last night he was only up twice. I have had intentions to fully nurse him but we have had a rough start. He would not nurse at the hospital or at home so I ended up going to a clinic to get a little help which has seemed to help a little. I haven't had to supplement formula so I'm happy about that. We're going to see how the next few weeks go. Caleb is growing and changing by the day. He looks a lot like Ross from the front but I do think he looks like me from the side. Isaac has had a rough couple of days too. Sunday night he came down with a fever of 102.8. He was pretty sick on Monday and I was concerned about Caleb getting sick so I called the doctor and we got in at 6:15 Monday night. Turns out he has a sinus infection and is on antibiotics. He is doing better but extra clingy and will not nap at all. I'm not sure if his clingyness has to do with him not feeling well or Caleb. I can't even take a nap because he is not a good napper. At least he sleeps 10 hours at night except for these last couple nights. I am so thankful that my Mom has been able to be with us for a few days to help out. These first few days are awfully rough. Well I suppose you are waiting for some more pictures so here you go!!!!!

He's doing so good

Isaac has slept through the night 4 nights in a row. He usually goes to bed about 9:45 and I wake him up at 6:50 to feed him. Mom and Dad are really liking this right now. We just hope he continues after his weekend at Grandma's in a different bed. He's been sleeping in his own room in his crib since he was about 4 weeks old so it's really nice not having to get up in the night with him. Last night we thought he might wake up because his cough woke him up at 3:30 but he managed to put himself back to sleep.

I took a few pictures the other day messing around in the house. I'm hoping to try some during the day where I can have some more light. I'm hoping to get some good photos so I don't have to take him to the professional every time. Of course I wasn't thrilled with Sears so who knows what we'll do for his 6 month photos.
