Go Vikings!

Go Vikings! Isaac and I were shocked that the Vikings pulled it off. Fingers crossed for next weekend! Good news: I am off to the gym for the first time since he was born (doh!)

My new favorite picture courtesy of Uncle Dave and his new camera.

Two months!

Isaac celebrated his two month birthday yesterday! Here are some highlights from the big day:

Breakfast served by Dad (Isaac peed on this outfit so we had to change him, hence the different clothes in the later pictures ...)

Yay -- it's my birthday!

Chillin' with Dad after work

Trying so hard to hold up that big head
(this was the day after his birthday which is why he is in different clothes, although, I admit, there have been days where I have had to change his outfit 3 times ...)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Isaac's newest achievement in 2010 is that he went 8 hours between feedings twice already! The first night was on New Years Eve. What a way to ring in 2010 ... with a few extra hours of sleep for us. Ahh .. sleep ... it feels good to be getting some again. Let's hope it lasts!

Time is flying by -- I can't believe that Isaac turned 7 weeks old on Friday and that I am over halfway through my maternity leave. We went in for his 6-8 week doctor appointment today and got his first round of vaccines (which I think may have been more traumatizing for Nate and I!). He now weighs 12 lbs 9 oz (75-90 percentile) and is 22.5 inches long. He is getting so big that he is outgrowing all his 0-3 month old baby clothes.

Lately, he has been very intrigued by the aloe plant in the window.

His new favorite way to sleep. Isaac has taken to nestling his head into the crook of our arms. He starts out upright on your chest and slowly wiggles his way down. Interestingly, it is something that I used to do as a baby.

First Hike

We took Isaac on his first official hike this weekend. The "hike" turned out to only be a 25 min out and back on the running trails around Cougar Mountain. Either way, it sure felt good to us! I am still trying to figure out the logistics of getting out between 3 hour start-to-start feeding times but we are figuring it out, slowly. Baby steps ...

Also, wanted to share a cute video of little Isaac enjoying some playtime ... squeaky!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and happy 6 week birthday Isaac! Isaac celebrated his first Christmas Eve here at home with his parents. We made the traditional Hauge Xmas Eve dinner of brats cooked over the fire (or in our case, the grill), homemade baked beans, and potato chips! This tradition was started when my brother Kirk and I were little in an effort by my parents to keep us busy on the big night. I've always loved the tradition and plan on continuing it with our little family.

Christmas morning was spent trading the fussy baby back-forth between Nate and I so we could eat our breakfast feast and open presents. Thank you everyone for all the wonderful presents for Isaac and for the gifts for Nate and I as well! It was a lovely morning. Unlike Minnesota, we did not have a white Christmas in Seattle, instead, we had bluebird skies and 40+ degree temps -- a perfect day for a walk. After our Christmas day walk, we headed over to Nate's mom's house to celebrate Christmas with Dave, Yulia & Lynne. Here are a few pictures from the very Merry Christmas at Tutu's.
