Randoms and Labor Day Fun!

The first couple pics posted are of Isaiah at 5 weeks (which he turned last Friday!)

This "Freshly Baked" shirt he's wearing came from his Aunt Amy and Uncle Jon. He's just now big enough to wear it and it's still just a bit too big! Here is a picture of them loving on him a couple weeks ago!

This past weekend, the Heuer family traveled to Evansville, Indiana to see Jennifer's side of the family. This was Isaiah's first big "road trip" and he did GREAT! We just had to stop once to feed him on the way there and the way home! He loved staying at Mimi and Pop's house and loved meeting all of his new family! He has now met all three of his Great Grandmothers! What a treat!!!

This is Isaiah with my Nana. She is my mom's mom!

This is my Nana Pat loving on Isaiah. She is my dad's mom!

And this is Isaiah with Eric's maternal grandmother. This was a couple weeks ago but I wanted to post the three great-grandmother's together!

Isaiah also got to meet his great great aunt Carol! He loved snuggling on her chest!

And last but certainly not least, Isaiah had so much fun meeting my Aunt Vicki and her boys (Ryan and Sean) and her husband (my Uncle David) who drove all the way up from Montgomery, Alabama!!! We all had so much fun hanging out and loving on each other! It was a very full weekend but one that was all about family and memories! Thank you Swedenburg family for driving so far to see us and thank you to all of our other family members who took time out of their weekend to spend time with us! We love you all so much!!!

Doctor and New Friend!

I'm sorry you can't see Isaiah's face in this picture but I wanted to display a shot of him doing his ab work! He loves lifting his legs!

Isaiah had his 4 week appointment yesterday and weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces! He's a growing boy! Once again the doctor was very pleased with his growth and reassured us that, YES, he IS perfect! We know he is but it's nice to hear it from other people as well! :)

Last night, Isaiah had the privilege of meeting his great new friend, Caleb! He had heard so much about him and what a wonderful family Caleb came from and was thrilled to finally meet Caleb (and his pretty mommy, Lisa!)! Caleb's daddy, Travis, was able to come visit Isaiah in the hospital but since Caleb was so new when Isaiah was born, he hadn't met Lisa or Caleb yet and what a treat it was! Isaiah also enjoyed being held by Travis again! He thinks Travis is a pretty funny guy!

We once again had a fabulous time with our great friends, the Taflingers, and look forward to many more fun times!!!

Precious Boy

Here are a few pictures of our sweet boy! We are loving him more and more each day!

He raises his hands and legs a lot! He's very strong!

Bright eyes!

Week Three

This first picture was not taken in Isaiah's third week of life but I had to include it on the blog because it's just too precious not to share it! This was the picture taken in the hospital of Isaiah and his daddy! Isn't he perfect??

As you can see, Isaiah is still sleeping A LOT, and really likes his "passy"! (I know, I know, it's almost as big as his head but he loves it!) I really cannot complain too much about our nights...I usually feed him around 10:30-11, 2:30-3, and 6:30-7. Not too bad for a newborn! I'm trying to rest as much as possible during the days while still doing things around the house. It is difficult to do it all! :)

And I just have to take a moment to brag on Eric! He is an INCREDIBLE father! He absolutely adores his little boy and I'm so grateful for all he does to help. He is the one who goes to work each day but he is still so helpful when he is at home. I am gladly the one who gets up in the night to feed Isaiah but I know Eric would help if I needed him! It is such an amazing thing to experience the love you feel for your child and I must say, I do love my husband more and more when I see him with our son. My mom always told me I would never understand the love she felt for me until I had a child of my own and boy was she right! (Yes mom, you were right!) It is absolutely overwhelming! We love this little boy so much and we are so thankful that the Lord has blessed us with such a HUGE responsibility in raising him to be a man of God! Our prayer is that we would continue to have the strength to show him what it means to follow Jesus!

TWO WEEKS!!!

Isaiah had his two week check up today and we are thrilled to report we have a 7 pounder! He has gained a full pound since we left the hospital!!! YEAH!!! His doctor was extremely pleased with his growth and says he looks awesome! She was so reassuring to us, as parents, that we are doing a good job! Eric and I felt good leaving there that we are helping our precious boy grow and develop! We know we couldn't do this without the help of our God!

One Week Old!

It's hard to believe our little angel baby is one week old today! We are just loving him to pieces! What a precious gift God has given to us! Isaiah going on his first walk!
He loves his little chair!

Checkin' things out!

Bath Time and Sleepy Time!

Well, we are getting adjusted here at home. Our sweet baby Isaiah is awesome! We are loving every minute with him. He's even pretty good during the night. He just likes to squeak and grunt a lot but not much crying, which we are so thankful for! Here are some pictures from the last couple days at home. He LOVES to sleep!!!! Especially with daddy!


First bath at home! Didn't care for it too much!

Isaiah went to the doctor on Tuesday to get his weight and size checked and we were all so pleased to find out that he had gained FIVE whole ounces since leaving the hospital! Obviously things are going well with his feedings! My milk came in quickly so he's a happy boy!

We're all just loving life right now! And we love you all...
