8 Weeks Old

Isaac is 8 weeks old today! He is doing GREAT and is our growing and strong boy! This last weekend we went on our first road trip with daddy for work and Isaac did wonderful. He loves to sleep in the car (but heaven help you if that car is NOT moving) and slept the whole way to Annapolis. It was a weekend of many firsts. We took Isaac out to eat with us for the first time and he was just perfect. He seems to like to be around lots of people...I think he likes the noise. It really gave Andy and I allot of confidence that we take him just about anywhere now.
Yesterday, Isaac had to go to the doctor to get an ultrasound done on his hip. When he was born he had a hip click and they just wanted to double check that they were not loose and that his hips were normal. Everything turned out OK and thank God his hips are perfect. He was quite the schmooze at the doctors and was cheesing at the doc and ultrasound tech the whole time. The doctor said he has never seen a baby that young smile so much! They even offered to watch him for the rest of the day and let me go shop...haha. He loves to smile and even laughs in his sleep.
We are getting into somewhat of a schedule now and have started to give Isaac a bedtime. We try and put him down between 7:30-8pm every night and have a little bedtime routine we do, which consists of jammies, storytime, and feeding..and sometimes bath. He usually sleeps until 2-3am and again til 5-6am. Putting him down this early gives Andy and I some time together and will hopefully eventually get Isaac to sleep through the night. We have also started giving him one bottle a day which our pediatrician reccomended so that he will take one when we need him to. I pump each day and Andy usually gives it to him before he goes to bed. It has been working out really good for us so far.
We go next Friday for his 2 month appt. where he has to get allot of shots. At his one month appt. he was 9lb. 1 oz. and 21.5 inches so I will try and update when we go how much he has grown. Here are some pictures of the little guy :)
