What's in a name?!?!?

Alright, this not having a name for our baby thing is starting to drive me crazy. Maybe it's because I'm a planner, maybe it's because we had Isaac picked out before we were even pregnant with him, I don't know. I do know that I'd really like to have a name chosen and soon. (By the way, my doctor did another ultrasound yesterday and thanks to the good ol' umbilical cord, the results are still inconclusive, but he's still pretty sure it's a girl). That all being said, HELP!!! Please give us some ideas. Jake is still on his H kick, which is why Haley (Grace probably for a middle name) is the only name we both like. I'm not crazy about it, but I don't hate it. I also like Lauren and Leah, but just saw they were on a "most popular names" list. I'd prefer to stay away from names in that category since my name was in that one for about 10 years. (Just count how many Jennifers you know-I like my name, really, I do, I just don't like that there are 54,375,287,129 other Jennifers around). Probably Elizabeth for a middle name for Lauren and still no middle name for Leah. The other name I like is Anna-Jake says it's an old woman's name. I disagree. Alright, there's the extent of our name dilema as it stands. Thanks to the few of you who have given us some ideas-all are being considered, but I'm tired of looking online and checking out the baby name books from the library. Help! :)

Quick update-I just looked at another list and all 4 of those names were on it. Agh!!!

Isaac Walking!

Isaac has learned some new things the last few weeks.


1. Waking up at night. :( Maybe it's an effort to get us back into infant mode with another baby on the way? It's not every night, but we're trying to figure out what's waking him up-hunger, being cold/hot, etc...no luck with anything really yet. At least it's just once a night and then he's usually pretty good about going back to sleep.

2. Praying-well, at least that's what we call it. See video-it's the cutest thing ever!



3. And last, but not least-walking! He's been walking a little for quite a few weeks-but just from one person to another. Now's he just the point where he's walking about 50% of the time. Here's a video for that too!
