2 weeks already?!?

Isaac one day old

Hard to believe but 2 weeks ago today I went into labor. The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of family, religious rituals (the bris), breastfeeding and diaper changes. Isaac has an actual bellybutton now. He likes swinging in his papasan swing and listening to music in the mornings. So far he really likes salsa, afro-cuban, 70's funk, blues, jazz, R&B, and a little rap.

He went on his first outing to San Fran on Thursday. We had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory in Macy's at Union Square with Zadie, Bubbie, Abuela and Aunt Hannah. And then joined Uncle Jonah at the Asian Art Museum to see an exhibit called Drama and Desire. Friday night we went out for Thai food with our cousins Reva, Ben and Emma at Grand Avenue Thai, a new neighborhood favorite. Saturday Isaac and I walked down to the playground to join Aunt Shefa, Uncle Jonah and Aaron and then walked around the Oakland Farmer's Market.

We even tried out the moby wrap for the first time and our little boy was in HEAVEN! He snuggled up and slept so well. It was like being pregnant again but even better because I could look down at him and his precious face. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing in the back yard. Isaac wrapped in the moby and Mom catching up on some reading. It was such a peaceful experience...

I love being a Mom...it is like the whole world is new again.
