Tummy Time

Each morning we've been trying to do tummy time each morning after eating and getting Nathan dressed so that I have a few minutes to finish getting ready before getting out the door.  He's doing better and lasting longer each time.  He pushes with his legs and then tries to get his hands in his mouth which usually leads to him falling into the hole of the Boppy.

We're trying to get on a schedule now that daycare is pretty much figured out.  Please pray with us that this will come together soon.  We need to get our nights figured out!

My Tiger Fans

Today when we tried the Tigers onesy, it fit!  Yea, Aunt Michelle!  Thankfully, it's a little bit big so we should be able to wear it a few times.

 My guys - hanging out.  Barry's been able to get Nathan to laugh some the last couple of days.  He sets Nathan on his stomach and somehow he'll get Nathan to giggle at him.

Tomorrow they are showing the Tigers/Boston game so we may have to wear Tigers clothes tomorrow too!

Seriously?

You never would guess that in between these "serious" pictures, Nathan was smiling and laughing.  Just as I would click the picture, he'd get all serious!

The ladies in the nursery said that he looked like he'd grown since they saw him last Sunday.  I'm not sure why.  He was wearing a 6 month outfit - because it's a one piece and he's so long in the torso.  It did look big on him, but it was just right in the torso.

Pool Time!

We weren't prepared to go to the pool, but how can you keep a baby from putting his toes in the water?  It was actually kind of comical... He didn't know what to make of it all and was ready to scream, but then decided it was okay.

 He sat with Rick for a while and watched Ellie swim around and pick up those toys (to Rick's left) from the bottom of the pool.  He got splashed too!

Don't worry!  We did have sunscreen on him and right after this, he had his hat on too.

I got it!

I got my foot! :)  This week Nathan has done a new trick - grabbing his feet.  He was even crossing over and using his left hand to get his right foot!

We do his pink medicine in his car seat - so he's got his bib on and is ready to go!  Big eyes! :)

Feeling Better?

Nathan was diagnosed with an ear infection on Monday night and we started amoxicillin. He was supposed to start feeling better after two days and I suppose he really was doing better at daycare, but he was still struggling with feeding with me. So the norm has been to have a bib on and then hope that with a combination of efforts from mom & dad that most of the medicine gets in his body.

Look at those cute feet!

Shake, Rattle, Roll...

Nathan has figured out how to shake his rattles now.  He doesn't realize how close it is to his head and will hit himself, but it doesn't seem to faze him! 

(Sorry the quality is so poor - evidently I didn't have enough light when I recorded it.)
