iFisher

I don't have the opportunity to have my camera out a lot during the week to capture a moment when Fisher is being cute (which is a lot!), so I have to depend on my iphone. Hence, the title iFisher (clever, huh?). Here's our week in review, via pictures, which are way cuter than any words! :)

looking like he's army crawling, but really we're just having tummy time
yes, he did fall asleep like this while we were outside
so talented, holding his toe while he was sleeping :)

Go Tigers Go!

Fisher was showing his Tiger pride today. His daddy got this onsie for him. Cutest little Tiger fan I've ever seen! :)

Must Be Nice

to fall asleep in whatever position you're in and be comfortable doing it. Oh, to be a baby again...Ok, well not really. But he's just so darn cute! I could squeeze him until he popped. But that would probably count as child abuse, so we won't go there.

Pops makes for a comfortable pillow :)

Bumbo Time!

I sat Fisher in his bumbo for the first time this week. He loved it!! He was smiling and waving his arms all around-too cute!! We're still working on his head control, so he's a little bit of a weeble wobble in these pictures. I only had my phone, so excuse the quality. But, Fisher's cute no matter how bad the camera is!!

my mom said he looked like he was riding a bronco! ha!

Two Month Checkup

Fisher went to see Dr. Catherine today for his two month checkup and got his first set of shots. :( He did so good!! He cried, but not for very long. His mama only teared up when he got his shots! :) She said everything looks great and he's right on track!

His measurements:

Head: 15 inches (around 25th percentile-I think)
Weight: 11 lbs 8 oz (around 50th percentile)
Length: 22 3/4 inches (around 50th percentile)

Fisher was such a trooper! He showed Dr. Catherine how big and strong he is getting and we worked on a plan for getting him to sleep longer at night. I'll need lots of prayers for that one.... :)

getting so big!!

Golly Dolly!

Ever since I found out about the Imagination Library program started by Dolly Parton, I have been so excited for Fisher to be a part of it. First of all, who doesn't love Dolly? She is a great singer, has an awesome amusement park, and she's just fun-big hair, bigger boobs, and those crazy outfits!!


Anyways, with the Imagination Library, every child that signs up in Tennessee is sent one FREE book per month until the age of 5. First of all, it's FREE! Second, the child gets age appropriate books until the age of 5-if you sign up at birth, that's 70+ books! As a book lover (some might say obsessed), this program could not be any better!!



Fisher finally got his first book in the mail this week! So much fun! As he gets older, I know he will love getting something in the mail sent just to him. The first book all the kids get is "The Little Engine That Could"-love this book! Every book after that is geared towards their age. I can't wait to read these books with Fisher and hopefully he will learn to love books as much as I do.


He's smiling because he's excited about his book!

Really, this is what he was doing most of the time. But it's all about that one good shot, right?? :)
I love this program, and anyone can sign up that lives in Tennessee. You can go here to learn more about it, enroll your child, or donate. Do it-it's worth it!!
