little i...

Isaac and I had a little mini photo shoot in the living room yesterday. It consisted of...waiting for a day that it was actually sunny so there was enough light in our house...propping him up and hurrying and trying to take a picture before he tipped over...and trying to make him smile, which luckily isn't that hard to do. All you have to do is look him right in the face and smile and he will smile right back!

Pattycake Print

Pattycake Prints is a family owned company and that came to my Parent/Baby class. It turned out so cute!

Valentines

Isaac is a mover and a shaker

Baby feet

Happy Valentine's Day!

Cross Stitch...a precious gift

I just got this from my Grandma Lund. She worked tirelessly for months to make this and it is so special. The attention to detail is amazing and it so comforting knowing Isaac will have such a special keepsake to cherish forever.

Tummy time

Bathtime

Isaac loves bath time! We bought an awesome insert that you can just put in your bathroom sink and they are really secure.

My diaper bag Ali made

My friend Ali and her Mom sewed me this diaper bag. I picked out the fabric but love the pattern. It is really durable and has great pockets inside. Not to mention I can fit a ton of stuff of into it, which is what I need!

Isaac's Photo Shoot from the Hospital

Evergreen has professional photographers come into your room and photograph your baby right in your hospital room. The pictures turned out great, they are just priceless to have!

playtime

Peter got up with Isaac early one morning and when I woke up I saw this...I heard Isaac loved it!

Almost a month...

Motherhood

It is true it is the best and hardest thing you will ever do! We have eaten out with Isaac 3 times now, we are training him young! He loves the moby wrap for now, he feels so tight and cozy that he just sleeps the whole time. Today we went on our first walk in the stroller there will be many more to come.

3 weeks

Isaac is now 3 weeks old. Its been a blurry 3 weeks with little sleep but wonderful at the same time. He is growing like a weed, lifting his head, and will scoot across the floor if he has something to push his legs off of. He is going to be a strong little guy, also strong willed as we have learned. It is has been so fun getting to know his little personality and trying to figure out it is that he wants, he will let you know! We love bath time, reading him books, singing to him, and doing daily tummy time. Here are some more recent pictures.

Merry Christmas

Isaac Morris

Isaac Morris Richardson, born Monday December 19th at 2:47 AM 8 Lbs. 21 inches

waiting for the happiest day of our lives

This is the bassinet in our bedroom and it is so sweet to see everyday but it needs a baby in it! This is a 4th generation bassinet that I even slept in when I was a baby.

playing with our new camera

Peter took most of these. Its so fun that he is getting into taking pictures with our new camera. I love photography and its fun for him to share that interest with me now. We got the camera mainly to document baby Isaac but we are having fun with it in the meantime. We went up to Paradise Conservation Area by our house on Sunday to get out of the house and hopefully move things along. It didn't work but it was pretty!

Baby gift from Kenya

My friend Jen lives in Kenya and bought these for baby Isaac. They are so cute and it is so fun to think about where they came from. Thanks Jen!

Farm Foodie

We used to get Organic Farm produce delivery for about a year when we lived in Ballard. I canceled when I had big plans for my garden last summer. Well we bought a house which meant everything planted I couldn't harvest and we didn't have time to plant the garden at our new house. We started up again and am really excited about trying new recipes with the produce we get. This box was mostly fruit since its winter time and there really are only root vegetables growing. People often say it isn't worth the cost. But for me:

1. It forces Peter and I to eat vegetables because we don't want the food to go bad.

2. It comes with great recipes for what you have received in your box.

3. It makes us try new things and try experiment and make up new recipes. 

4. Its all organic and supports local farms.

5. It comes to my DOOR!

Christmas Tradition

This was Peter's idea and I just love it.  This is the bottom cut from our Christmas trees the last 2 years. We are only 2 years into the tradition so we only have 2 to show but it will be fun as the collection grows over time. We have a new side table and we talked about needing coasters for it. I suggested after Christmas Peter cut coasters out of the stump of the tree. We will see as making them level seems easier said than done.

Our Christmas summed up by a 5 year old

Peter's co-worker Randy has a son Liam who is 5 and drew us a picture. It sums up our Christmas pretty well as Isaac is our Christmas present under the tree.

god jul

That's Merry Christmas in Swedish. I have had a good time decorating the house for Christmas this year, since it is our house now. During my crazy nesting phase I was very intent on getting every decoration up and done so when baby Isaac decides to come everything is done and we can enjoy Christmas.
