Home of the Hollars : Two Months!!

I am sure I will say this every month, but how is Isaac TWO months old? I feel like he isn't a newborn anymore, and he is actually starting to show his little personality. I will make some crazy noises, sing some insane high pitched songs, dance around, anything I can think of to see him crack a smile. My favorite time with him is the mornings. He wakes up every day in the best mood. I wish I was like that!! He is so smiley and silly, and I cannot get enough snuggles!! How I am I going to survive without my morning snuggle session when I go back to work??!

I take him everywhere with me, and so far he has been such an easygoing baby. He loves his car seat, walks and runs, his ergo, his swing, pretty much anything. He has already made two trips to Atlanta, gone on two hikes, been to Asheville, a brewery, Apple Picking in North Carolina, and lots of other adventures. Even though taking him out can be risky since he can still freak out at a moment's notice, my mom taught me that I can't just sit around and wonder if he would have been good or bad. This month I finally feel like I am starting to figure him out a little better. Ninety percent of the time if he cries he is usually just hungry! I guess he just loves to eat!!

He is also working himself into a semi-schedule. Josh usually gives him his bath around seven. Since he loves his bath so much, sometimes we leave him in there for 30-45 minutes as long as he's happy. After bath time, I nurse, rock and snuggle him, and he's usually asleep by 7:45 - 8:15. The past week or two he has been sleeping from then until between 2 - 4. I am pretty pumped about that 6-8 hour stretch. When he wakes up in the middle of the night, I usually nurse him and he goes right back to sleep. The past few nights I have been putting him in his CRIB in his room for his second 3-4 hour stretch of sleeping. Usually about 8 he gets up, eats, snuggles, and stays up until his morning nap. The rest of the day's schedule just depends if we are out and about or at home, but he usually takes a short morning nap and a longer afternoon nap. I try to keep him up after 5, so he's sleepy for bedtime at 8ish!

I only have one more month until I go back to work. I feel very conflicted about this! I absolutely LOVE my job, but I am so scared I will feed like I am missing out on so much with my babe. I went to look at daycares one day a couple weeks ago, and I had a (totally unexpected) nervous breakdown!! So embarrassing!!!! I need to pull it together! My sweet mom will be keeping Isaac November and December, but we need to figure something out ASAP for January! Ahhhhh :(

Ok done rambling, here are some of my fave pics from month TWO!!!
