Story Time

Nathan and I try to have story time every day. His favorite books so far are by Dr. Seuss.

Tummy Time

Nathan has been doing great with his tummy time. He has been lifting his head much higher and holding it up for longer periods of time. We just have to put the toys that he likes to look at in front of him to keep him interested.

Thumbsucker

Nathan has discovered his hands. He has them in his mouth all the time. On the rare occasion, he actually gets his thumb in his mouth. It's cute, but we don't want to make it a habit.

Nathan's Favorite Place to Nap

Nathan's favorite place to nap is right next to me on the couch. Sometimes he just wants to be near me all the time. I played on the computer while he took his afternoon nap today.

Sleeping Through the Night

I don't want to jinx it, but Nathan has slept through the night for the past four nights in a row. He has been going to bed around midnight and getting up at 6am.

His Aunt Patty came over last Friday night. She gave us some great advise on getting Nathan on a schedule. That was the first time he slept all the way through the night. I was the one who got up at 4am just out of habit. Nathan had been on an eat-on-demand schedule since he came home from the hospital.

Randy and I are finally getting some much needed sleep. Also, we can now schedule visitors and doctor appointments inbetween Nathan's feeding schedule. It is making life much easier for all of us.

Thanks, Aunt Patty!!!

Big Yawn! It's nap time.

Almost 12 Pounds

Nathan weighs 11.8 pounds. He is currently wearing size 0 - 3 months. I can't believe he has finally grown out of his newborn clothes. They will now have to join his preemie clothes in the closet.

Happy New Year!! Welcome 2007!!!

We hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year!

We had a very exciting 2006 and we are sure 2007 is going to be just as exciting, if not more. We spent the day curled up on the couch watching movies. Nathan slept through most of them.

Nathan's First Christmas

We spent Christmas afternoon at Nathan's Nana and Papa's house. We had a big turkey lunch and then we opened presents. Nathan slept through the presents, so Mommy opened them for him.
