Week Eight

Week 8 was relatively low key, with more beautiful weather. We took lots of walks outside in the Bjorn and the stroller, a big Costco trip (which he slept through) and experienced continued regression in sleep patterns. We've been trying to institute a schedule to counter the eratic sleeping but it appears to be having the opposite effect -now we are waking up 2-3 times a night and Isaac decided it's officially awake time at 7am-which Jamie LOVES!! We also determined that dairy products have a negative effect on Isaac's belly so Jamie and Bill have been learning to be creative in coming up with non-dairy foods for Jamie to eat at every meal (thank goodness Starbucks makes soy lattes!). It's definitely a struggle, but Isaac has been a much happier baby which makes it worth it. The big milestone for this week - we moved Isaac out of our room and into his room to sleep in the crib which was probably more traumatic for Jamie than Isaac who seems very happy in his room. It is helping him become a little more independent because we aren't as quick to grab him the second he starts crying. Also, Issac finally got to meet Uncle Evan who flew in from Colorado this weekend. He had a great time getting spoiled by both Uncle Evan and Aunt Rachael this past weekend, including an all boys breakfast on Saturday morning leaving Jamie to get a few extra hours of much needed sleep. Overall another great week with lots of fun smiles (check out the bath vide0)!!
