It's All in a Name

Picking a name for a baby is quite a challenge. We wanted to pick something unique, but not too crazy. Then, we wanted to pick a meaningful name given everything that our baby boy would be going through. So we stumbled upon Isaac, which means "he will laugh". How great is that?

Living up to his name, Isaac has started trying to giggle this week. It is mostly just a little chuckle -- followed by the hiccups -- but we'll take it!

Many people ask us how Perrie is doing with her new baby brother. She is doing great. I imagine that she may get more jealous once he is mobile and in her space, but for now she is just a proud big sister. Perrie has a very motherly instinct. She loves to sing him songs, help with baths and diaper changing, pick out his clothes.

Maybe too much motherly instinct! (Perrie "feeding" her baby)

She does still take a break from all of the mothering to do a little dancing . . .

AND then she crashes in her bed . . . (with Huggy, the bear)
