On Tuesday, we went to Newport. We picked some blackberries,
cooked 'em up,
strained them,
stirred the juice with sugar,
to make blackberry jelly!
Then of course we made Isaac pose with the canned jelly.
He wasn't pleased by the fifth shot or so.
Look at that sad little face.
While we were making the jelly, Uncle Mikey rocked Isaac to sleep.
And Grandpa played with him and a big, colorful ball with little ribbon tags on it.
Isaac was so tired when he got back home on Wednesday that he could barely keep his eyelids open.
I weighed myself in Newport and I think I'm close enough to pre-pregnancy weight now, given the *ahem* extra tissue that now exists in the food-producing aisle. Yay! Before you react, I weighed Isaac today, since I like to do that every week, and he is exactly 15 lbs now. Before you accuse me of over-feeding him, he also grew 3/4 of an inch (in eight days) and is now 26 inches long. I was so astounded that I had to ask the medical assistant to measure him again. So, I guess he was going through a growth spurt and that explains all the weight transfer. She measured his head circumference in inches too and it is 16 and 1/2 inches. Last time they did it in centimeters and that didn't mean much to me since they had never done it in centimeters before.We went to campus today and said hi to Kevin Ahern! Indira wasn't there because she wasn't feeling well, and Dr. Karplus was in a meeting so we'll have to come back some other time. Still, it was nice to go to campus since we are moving so soon.
