auld lang syne

can you say that? anyway, happy new year to y'all!

our house is cleaner. robert and i seem to be getting on quite well. and isaac's sitting up!

i mean he's not a complete pro at sitting and he does manage to sit longer if he's propped up by his boppy pillow. but he really seems to love sitting alot especially when he's surrounded by all his toys. yeah, toys are now really interesting to him!

he's distracted by the world. it sure can be an interesting place for a little guy who's just opening his eyes. in fact, it can be quite difficult to feed him during the daytime just because he wants to play so much.

well, i've been wanting to resume breastfeeding again, and it's not been happening. he usually cries or turns away when i present him the boob. i'm not accustomed to such a response to my boobs, let me tell you!!! every other guy's always taken a great interest! i try to remind him of this, but he's not getting it. :-) he does seem to take it when he's tired, though, for a little bit. so i guess that's something. in the meantime, we just need to feed him by bottle with fortified breastmilk to keep him gaining weight, which we hope he is.... i don't think enough, but hopefully, some weight gain is occurring.

i spent the night at my Lily Pad last night all by my lonesome. it was AWESOME! nobody to contend with but me. no baby to worry about. wow, if only i could be like that all the time -- the not worrying part, i mean. i do feel quite abit more rested today. and that can be nothing but good.

robert's writing an arrangement for a pink martini song, and it sounds like it is going quite well. yay, robert!

oh, and isaac LOVES zoe!!! especially when robert is playing with her. he just laughs and laughs and laughs when zoe gets all excited to fetch something. it's awesome.
