Fisher and Elizabeth, Week 3

We missed our weekly photo last week, but not this week!! When they were two weeks old (a week and a half ago), Elizabeth weighed in at 9 lbs and Fisher was 6.7 lbs. He's trying to catch up! It was so funny while we were taking their pictures-one would be crying and then the other would start to sympathy cry. Too cute!

crying together! :)

Pacified??

This weekend, we gave in and Fisher got his first pacifier. I'm impressed that we made it 3.5 weeks without one!! I'm not big on giving them anyways, and we were advised not to give him one for a while since he had latch issues when trying to nurse.

With his latch issues now resolved, we didn't have anything keeping us from giving him one other than the fact that he really didn't seem to need one. He's hardly ever fussy and he's easily soothed by other things. This weekend, though, he was constantly rooting despite just being fed and was just plain fussy. We decided to try a pacifier. He likes it! But, he doesn't have or want one all of the time, which I'm glad for.

Hopefully he won't end up using one until he's 4 and have massive orthodontic work...I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

Who Jumps Out of a Perfectly Good Plane??

my crazy family, that's who! Yesterday we all made the trek out to Somerville to watch my brother, sister, cousins, and Hubs go skydiving. I want to go soooo badly, but we though that Fisher should have at least one parent on the ground. Everyone said it was an incredible experience, and we had so much fun watching them. I can't wait to go one day!!

Hit the Ground Running

We've started July off with a bang (ha)!! We went to Jerry's (again), visited with Nellie's brother and his family, and spent time with extended family. Fisher has enjoyed everything we've done. :) Since he was asleep for most of it, I documented everything for him!

Walk This Way

We took Fisher on his first walk tonight! It was very uneventful; he slept the whole time! Big surprise there...We enjoyed the great weather and can't wait to go on more walks!!

Fisher's First Fourth

Happy 4th of July! We enjoyed celebrating our nation's independence today with great food and good times with family. And homemade ice cream, too! :) Fisher slept through most of the day, but he was loved on by everyone!

do you have to take all these pictures mom??
