i love isaac for...
i feel like lately all i've been doing is complaining about isaac. and honestly he is a difficult little guy buti also love him. and i thought i'd tell you why. the way his face lights up when he smiles, it scrunches up and looks just like a ball of cute chub. the way he kicks his feet in excitement when he eats something he loves. the way he sings with us when we're singing him to sleep. the way he thrashes with excitement when he sees me in the morning or after a nap. the way he starts chewing on his hands right before he starts laughing at something. the way he burrows into my shoulder when he's being bashful. how he's starting to notice and love ray ray. the excitement he shows when david gets home from work. the way he is discovering everything from his feet to shadows. that he's beginning to learn his name and turns his head sometimes when we say it. how he smiles at grandma and grandpa on skype. how he puts his all into everything he does. how he's mine. so despite my complaints that make it sound like i don't want to be a mom anymore (which is true somedays) i love my isaac and i wouldn't trade him!

He might be a difficult baby, but he'll be a ridiculously fun kid. :)
Listen to MJ. People who have HAD difficult babies know what they're talking about and they know what you're going through.
Admitting your baby is difficult doesn't mean you don't love him, doesn't mean you wish you weren't a mom (except once in a while) or any other bad thing. I just means you are admitting you have a tough job, a job that moms who have easy babies don't understand. And that's okay too. And if you vent to someone and say he's a hard baby or something and they say, "Oh, don't say that!" then fine. Don't say that to THEM. But go ahead and tell those of us who have been there before, cuz we can handle it and we know you NEED to vent.
Those of us who have had hard babies have sympathy for you and sometimes that's all we can do for you, but sometimes that's all you need to get through one more days and like MJ says, they're ridiculously fun kids.
Love you, and remember, if you can't vent in your own blog about the tough times, what the heck is a blog for?? Those of us who read it know you are only venting and that it's just a release. You're a great mom, and we have no doubt that Isaac is worth all of the work and frustration.
