Four weeks old

-and he smiled at me today!

Isaac is noisy. He breathes loudly, hiccups loudly, burps like a man, and when he eats you can hear it across the house. And he cries loudly too. Good thing he doesn't do that much.

Sometimes we call him Terry. As in- Bradshaw.

He's losing his hair, but it seems to have started at the top and is working its way down. It's awesome, and hilarious. I ought to get a good picture of it- it's like it's God's way of letting us see him as an old man. :)

A new smile-

-with one less tooth!

Apparently, it "just fell on the table!" when she was eating her grapes at lunch. And the other kids "all wanted their teeth to fall out too!" (Halle was super excited to tell us the story as soon as she got in the car this afternoon.)

She wavered back and forth about whether she wanted to leave it for the Tooth Fairy* or not. She really wanted to keep it. (Don't ask me why.)

In the end, she opted to leave a note:

So, I'm off to try hairspray and glitter on a couple of dollar bills. :)

(What did we ever do without Pinterest?!?)

*No, Halle doesn't think the Tooth Fairy is real. (Remember the Santa thing?) She asked me while I was fixing supper:

Halle: "Mommy, the Tooth Fairy isn't really real, right? Because I know there's not really any real fairies. It's just you and Daddy."

Me: staring at her

Halle: staring at me

Me: "Do you want Daddy and I to dress up like fairies to leave something under your pillow?"

Halle: laughing "NO! Daddy is a BOY!" still laughing

Me: "It's fun to pretend."

Halle: "Yeah. Let's just keep pretending."

Perfect. :)

In the good times AND bad...

It's been a painful few weeks for Razorback fans. But we're faithful- no bandwagon fans in this house. Woo Pig!!

PS- Do you recognize those sleeves on Halle's dress? They used to be worn by Cate! :)

**Yes. I am a Jayhawk fan in my heart of hearts, but when you have your name written on the sidewalk in Fayetteville (all graduates do) you are obligated to cheer for the Hogs. Just saying.
