Learning to open and close his hand
Watching the monkey mobile
I love this video. I recorded it into the mirror (so imagine you are the mirror) and every time that Nate saw himself in the mirror, he smiled.

OH (big) BOY!
2 Month update
Little Nate is growing very well:
weight: 14lbs 12oz (97%)
height: 25 '' (exceeds 97%)
His latest and greatest:
turning over to one side and back again (I guess we can't set him on the table anymore!)
smiling, laughing, and more of a variety of sounds
less fussiness (thank goodness the nonstop crying has mostly gone away!)
reaching and batting at objects
responsive smiling (the cutest!) and interacting
improved eyesight...I think he can see clearly to about 5' or 6'. He can see our smile and smile back from this distance.
oh, and did I mention....DROOLING like a faucet on everything? Could he be starting the teething process already?
He got his first round of immunizations today. He's doing well, just a little sleepy.

Loretta and Aaron's baby is one month younger than little Nate. I am excited that they will be friends.

Sleep
He slept from 8:30 PM to 4:30AM!!!! I'm glad I went to bed when he did. REM sleep is so great and shouldn't be taken for granted! :-)

Squeak, Squeal, Stretch, Yawn, Fart... ok, now I'm ready for food
This is how I wake up after being unswaddled. It's a long process waking up...

1 month update
Wow, little Nate weighed in at 11lbs 11oz today (90th percentile) and measured 23.5" (97%) this morning at his 1 month appointment!!! He's definitely growing and thriving!
He is sleeping pretty well at night. He gives me one 5 hour stretch of sleep at night and only wakes up two times total usually. I think consistency from night to night and Dave's awesome swaddling do wonders! During the day he's awake mostly. I can already tell he's going to be a very active little one. He's very alert and even VERY fussy at times (Dr. told me to try cutting out dairy to see if this is the cause :-/ ).
As for me, I am feeling much better every day. My scar is healing well and hardly hurts at all anymore (although I am afraid to do a sit-up). I am able to start doing some jogging and walking again. I created a pocket of free time without Nate in the mornings before Dave leaves for work so I can go to the gym. It really makes a huge difference to get away from the house and have some time to myself for an hour. I think this is why I never really had the "baby blues". Thanks also to everyone that has stopped by over the last month... it's helped during this transition to know we have such great friends and family for support.
It's been quite a crazy month! I can't believe life will never be the same..... but I don't think we would want it to be!

He's getting better at holding up his head.
Lots of new sounds coming from Nate and as always, hiccups.

3 Week Milestones
Nathan's learning to make "cooing" sounds and he's learning to smile. He's able to hold his head up by himself for a few seconds and he's learned to grasp onto my hair!
