Nathan Laughing

Daddy can get Nathan to laugh pretty good by kissing and tickling him.  It's so fun to hear him laugh.

(Don't you like the saliva dripping out of Nathan's mouth at the end!)

Friday night fun

First, we read books on our belly and then we moved over to our backs to play.  Nathan loves to shake his keys around - he'll switch hands and sometimes put them in his mouth.

 Then, we switched and Nathan played with his monkey (that also is a rattle) and I shook the keys.

Finally, we had a jam session.  I was singing a silly song, Nathan shook the keys, and I shook monkey.  Fun was had by all!  (Daddy made it home at the very end and shook Lovey around!)

Teething

This week has been a little unusual for Nathan - sleeping a lot, more bowel movements than normal (I know you wanted to know that information!), and being a bit fussy.  Someone suggested he could be teething and sure enough, there are the beginnings of two bottom teeth.  He hasn't seemed too bothered by it, but we've given him Tylenol a couple times in the evening as it seems to be worse then.

Yummy fingers!  He's been sucking on his fingers for quite a while now without any reason, but now we know he's looking for some relief!

Our evenings

This is how we spend the most of our evenings... Either Barry or I have Nathan sleeping on us from 7pm on and then we get ready for bed and move him to the bedroom.

We are continually amazed on how much he is growing and becoming more aware of his surroundings.  He'll move his arm trying to reach something that he can see, but isn't yet quite adept at reaching it.  He loves to shake his keys and chew on the ring that they're on.  He's started kicking his legs at bath time and splashing everywhere.  These days may not last very much longer, but we're trying to enjoy them and him as much as we can.

Eating Cereal

We waited for Nana to come to help give Nathan his first bites of cereal.  He did pretty good!

He ate about 5-10 bites and then decided that was enough!

Nana & Papa come for a visit!

Paci #1 gone

The top paci hasn't been with us since day 1 (thank goodness, we still have the hospital one!), but this has been with us since March 26 (see here).  We've had it attached to the car seat all this time.  Well, last night it got a hole in it and every time Nathan sucked, it would wheeze.  So, we had to open the last new paci from our stash. I think he's getting too big for these, but we'll see how long they'll last!
