First cold

Poor Nathan has come down with his first cold. I feel terrible as I'm sure he got it from me, despite my best efforts to prevent that. Chris and I both wish we could cough for him, and just be sick for him. He'll get through it, this will pass eventually.

Cousins, smiles and rolling in Minnesota

We're back from our trip, reunited with Daddy. Nathan did a great job on the return flight, even despite a 3-hour delay. He slept most of the way again and barely made a peep. He made traveling with an infant seem like a breeze!

Nathan and I had a great week staying with his cousins Jasper and Suzy.



Suzy is only three months older, so we had a wonderful time dressing them alike and playing with the babies.


While we were there, Nathan began to give us a few smiles. They're still infrequent and sometimes accidental... (Nathan on the right)


Also, Nathan impressed us by rolling from his tummy to back!

Nathan's first trip to Minnesota

Nathan and I have been in Minnesota since last Tuesday. He did extremely well on the airplane on the way here, he slept the whole time. Nathan has met his Grandpa, become reacquainted with Grandma, and met his aunts, uncles and cousins as well as many friends and extended family from MN. We'll post pictures soon!

4 weeks old

It's hard to believe that four whole weeks have gone by. We're all learning so much. Sleep is hit-or-miss. We've had two good nights in a row, and it makes all the difference in the world!

Here are some pictures of Nathan.















We're really trying to push the pacifier. It would make diaper changes so much more pleasant. With two people around, one person gives the boy a finger to suck. With one person, he cries very hard... Last night we tried the swing for the first time. He was content there for about 15 minutes.
