Happy Birthday, Dad!

Hubs celebrated his birthday this past Thursday. He turned the big 31. Fisher was so excited to give his daddy a birthday card just from him!! We are both so thankful to have this wonderful man in our lives, and couldn't ask for a better husband and father. We love you!!

Laundry Daze....

Like I've mentioned before, Fisher is wearing cloth diapers. I wash a load about every other day, and let them air dry. I've been letting them dry on the kitchen table, which is not ideal. My mom gave me some clothsline and pins, and I fashioned myself a clothsline on the fence in the backyard. I love looking outside and seeing all the cute little diapers blowing in the wind! Not to mention, I love not having to dry them in the dryer and save on our electricity bill!! Another benfit-the sun helps get stains out, and leaves the diapers smelling sunshine fresh! You can't buy that smell!!

My clothsline! :)

F-I-S-H-E-R

Fisher got a very special present in the mail a few weeks ago. He got a personalized stool with his name on it from his Gama Carol. It is very cute and will be a really good tool in helping him learn his name! Plus, the letters come out, so that will be fun for him to tump them over. :)

sitting up! ok, propped up...:)

Fisher says "thanks Gama!".

Sleep Deprived

Since birth, Fisher has not slept longer than 3.5 hours at a time. There was a one time 4 hour stretch, but I think it was a fluke. His norm seems to be 2.5-3 hours at a time. This is fine during the day, but a little bit wearing on me at night. Last night I decided to let him sleep in his crib and I would sleep in a different room, hoping that him not smelling me and/or my milk might help him sleep a little bit longer. He's been sleeping in his swing right next to our bed, since he refuses to sleep in the pack and play (which if you'll remember, I had to get from CANADA for him! Can we say ungrateful?).

How successful was this plan? miserable. failure. The longest he slept was 2 hours, and it took me so long to get him back to sleep after nursing, which I normally don't have to do at all. sigh. We'll keep trying, though! I mean, he can't keep this up forever...right??

A Whale of a Good Time

Fisher took his first non-sink bath tonight in his whale bathtub. He loves bathtime, so he really enjoyed sitting in his tub and I enjoyed playing with him and having both hands free. Then, we had a cute diaper and pj photo shoot. Enjoy!

just chillin...

Sunday Best

Fisher got dressed up yesterday to go to Sunday lunch with the family. This outfit is newborn sized, so he needed to hurry up and wear it before he outgrows it! Personally, I think he's the most adorable thing I've ever seen. No biased opinions here...

who knew turtles were so cute? :)

The Austrian Moose

Fisher's Auntie Loo (my best friend Lauren) just returned from a 15 day jaunt across Europe. Jealous, much?? I know I am... Anyways, being the wonderful aunt that she is, she got Fisher a little happy. She came over last week to give him his first present from abroad. I present to you, the Austrian moose socks!
