Isaac's first Cardinals game

Our friends Logan and Sarah got tickets to the Cardinals game so they invited us. Isaac was a real struggle. Blake and I took turns taking him to the back of our section to bounce him and a lady back there was so enraptured with him that she gave him a pack of baseball cards. But then she wanted to hold him and I couldn’t exactly say, “Thanks for the cards but no touchie.” He screamed the entire metro ride home. I think he was just tired of the noise. Kudos to Logan and Sarah who listened to him. I’m sure they’re crossing their fingers that their child, whom they meet in March, is not as loud. But when we got home he was all smiles. He was happy to finally be home.

He is also starting to reach for things, which is fun to watch. We wonder if Isaac is going to be a leftie because he always reaches with his left hand.

The goal of the week is to get Isaac to sleep in his crib. Sunday night he slept 5 ½ hours! I slept horribly because I was worried he would 1) die of SIDS or 2) wake up too often or 3) I wouldn’t hear him when he did wake up and he would cry and cry with no relief.



You're supposed to be sleeping, Isaac!

Isaac's asleep! Not for long...

I'm sorry you left a job that you really enjoyed and had a good support group with. You made the right decision, and we wish you, Blake, and little Isaac the best as Blake is in medical school. Thanks for putting up a picture of Isaac sporting the shoes! He's so cute. Keep sleeping, little guy.
