i really liked this post today. she explains mama-hood so well -- you just can't explain it, but it's the greatest/most wonderful thing! i'm truly so grateful for the opportunity i've had to stay home with baby ike and watch him learn and grow. i think i would be a nutcase if i went back to work! and, it's true what they say -- it does keep getting better!
watching and hearing him "coo" and "aww" at his mirror. so cute!
seeing him smile, especially all his smiles after he wakes up from a nap. my fave!
him sleeping through the whole night (a lot of the time!)! another fave!
laughing at his faces he pulls when i change his diaper -- kind of like "i wouldn't do that if i were you!" pretty awesome!
before i know it he'll be laughing, then climbing trees, going off to school and getting embarrassed by his mom! i don't want that day to EVER come, though i know it will. i better get on making him a mobile -- he's really starting to look at and talk to things. he loves the bunting i recently hung in his room. by the time i get him a mobile, he'll be pulling it from the ceiling!
baby ike is another month old today, which means he got to go visit the doctor and get his first shots!:( [those of you that know me -- don't worry, i stayed out in the hall! we didn't need a mom passed out on the floor with a baby crying!] he's a champ though -- cried just a bit and then came home for a long nap.
here are some recent photos (no, i'm not a photographer and don't claim to be one, so please excuse the blurriness):

Cute, cute, cute!!! Mommy-hood is lots of fun! We need to get our boys together--although Jack's getting to be a bit more rambunctious - he likes to pinch...maybe we'll wait 'til Ike's older and can pinch back :)
Yay for pictures! I miss you guys already so pictures help. :) This is such a sweet post. Love you guys!
I love when you post about Ike! It's fun to hear how you all are doing. I'm jealous that he sleeps through the night... Can't wait until mine do that :)
PS-he's darling and you look great!
That was such a sweet post. Here's to motherhood!
Check out those kissable cheeks!
What a little cutie he is!! I can't believe how much he has changed in a month! You are such a cute mom, and you look great too!
Look at those cheeks! So kissable :)
I cannot even believe this!! He is SO adorable. I am so glad you are loving being a mom. I have no doubts that you are an awesome mom. And I do mean "awesome". Love you, Whit and Ike.
PS- You better be showing him pictures of me!! He need to know who aunt Kari is even if I can't be around right now.
Oh my fatty! I can't believe how chunky monkey he is. Love it, and I might be a bit jealous. Until he's a hefty one and you have to pack him around.
Can't wait to see you guys soon. Chris was telling Millie everyone we get to see and I reminded him of Ike. "Oh yeah. I'm really excited to see him." He's jealous he didn't get to meet him when I did.
Just got his announcement in the mail-here in Minnesota! It's so cute. Thank you!
I can't believe how big this little one is getting! Ike, slow down. He's adorable and I'm so happy for you.
