Three Weeks

Here is Nate's three week photo.  I couldn't get a very good photo without a pacifier in his mouth... this was the best I could do.   Hehe.  We made it through out first week alone without any problems.  I'm not too tired, but I am looking forward to Dave sleeping on the bassinet side of the bed tonight so I can sleep better.  I still have to wake up to nurse, but Dave is going to do diapers and burping so I can get a good night of rest.  I think I have been doing a darn good job of letting Dave sleep through the night so he isn't tired at work.  One night this past week Nate didn't fall asleep until 1 am and and Dave had been rocking him so Dave was tired but he was able to catch a nap at work! I can't believe three weeks have passed already!

Nathan's First Bath

We gave Nate his first bath tonight.  He didn't cry or get upset.  He fussed a little when we took him out... the air was chilly for a naked wet baby!

For all of us amazed at how much Nathan looks like Dave I am posting a photo of Dave's first bath!

Speaking of firsts...Tomorrow Dave goes back to work and Nate and I will have our first day home alone.  It will be a long day too since Dave has Spanish Class after work, so he will be gone from 7-7.   I am sure we will be fine.  I cannot believe how fast time has gone by though...

kinda neat eh?

Two Weeks Old

We took Nate to his 2 week appointment today.  He weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces!  He has gained almost a pound!  I am so happy.  We know he is getting plenty to eat.  The doctor said Nate is 'Fit for Duty'.  Everything looks great.  His circumcision is all healed and he is ready for real baths now!  I wonder how Nate will like them.  He does OK with sponge baths just fusses a little but no screaming, so we will see how he likes a real bath.  I took his 2 week photo and decided to do a video because Nathan was making a bunch of funny faces, and I caught him taking a noisy poopie.  If you watched the video and were shocked let me just say so are we every time we hear those noises coming from such a small little guy.  If you watched the video and found it disgusting.. so do we.  I posted the two week photo in the album.

Nate sure keeps us busy

I thought I would post a new photo.  We have been up to our elbows in feedings, poopie diapers, and burpings.  But it is so amazing when he is awake and happy.  Dave has been experiencing things at the changing table that shock and disgust him. But its so worth it.  I love his little gas grins, even if I know its because he farted.  We are still trying to get all of this paperwork done to make him an American!  WOOF! 

No more stump!

Yippie, Nate's umbilical stump fell off today!  Man is time going quick.  Diaper changes will be much easier now! 

One Week Old

Someone told me to take a photo of Nathan once a week with the same stuffed animal so its easy to see how much he grows and changes.  So here is our little man at one week old!  The week has gone by quick!  Nate is sleeping pretty well at night letting us get a 4 hour stretch then after feeding usually we get another 3 hour stretch!  Can't beat that eh?
