Nathan's first trip to zoo, 8/20/06!

Papa Ray, Gram Pat, Mary, Kyle, Amanda, Dave, Nathan, and I went to Brookfield Zoo on Sunday! It was a perfect, beautiful day for the zoo! The kids had a lot of fun and were fantastic!

Dave, Nathan, Kyle, Amanda, and I!

Look I cut my hair! Daves Mom cut my hair Saturday and I donated 12 inches to Locks of Love! I got the idea from Mary, she donated hers last year! It was hard to do, but I know it went for a great cause! I love it short because it feels like a weight lifted, but I can't wait until it grows back! Maybe I'll donate it again!

Kyle and Amanda standing in front of my favorite animal!

Cute Little Nathan!

They had Dodge day at the zoo! There was a scavenger hunt for the kids and they gave prizes out that were all affiliated with Dodge!

This is strange! I hope Dave doesn't get confused! Yeah know with all my baby lumps! I'm totally just kidding! That's what we get when we have beautiful little babies! I try to be funny yah know!

Can you see the cute baby camel? It' s the one trying to feed behind the one standing up! It is so cute!

Sweet Amanda!

Handsome Kyle!

Papa Ray and Nathan! Isn't this a great picture! Look a food stand behind them! Right up their alley!

Well it was a long and fun day for Nathan! Nathan and Elmo fell asleep on our bed that night! Then we put him right into his bed!

Nathan 19 weeks old, 8/17/06!

He still sleeps great, 8 to 12 hours a night with little naps thru out the day! We have started him on gerber basics (vegetables and fruits) twice a day! He loves it! We usually give him cereal once a day too! He eats 6 to 9 ounces of milk 3 to 4 times a day depending on how much cereal or vegetables he eats! He is a healthly little boy and loves his food! We can tell that he will most likely be a great eater! He is growing super fast, we don't want to miss a moment! He is such a great baby and such a joy to be around! He is so silly and so much fun! He makes us smile and laugh all the time! We smile at him and he smiles back and that melts our hearts! Dave and I our both saps! Nathan is a blessing and truly a beautiful miracle! We still can't believe he is all ours!

Nathan 18 weeks old, 8/10/06!

Here are some pictures of bathtime! It is always a blast at this house! Its one of his favorate things! So I don't get water or saop in his eyes I tell him "close your eyes" and he closes his eyes! Before I put any soap in the water I hold the wet dripping washcloth over his mouth and he catches the water! He thinks thats funny! If we say certain words like baba, bathtime, Mommy, Daddy, Gram, and many other words they really make him smile! When he sees his baba he gets really excited and kicks his feet! He is growing so fast! Its so exciting! We love being parents!

Nathan 17 weeks old, 8/3/06!

He eats 9 ounces every 3 to 6 hours and cereal 2 to 3 times a day! He eats wonderful! He falls a sleep between 8pm and 10pm and sleeps until 7am and 9am! If he falls a sleep in his swing and we go to move him to his bed sometimes he wakes up and we feed him and he goes right back to sleep, then he sometimes sleeps until 10am! He does have his bad nights once in a while. He is on a great schedule no mather how we look at it though! Here is some pictures of him having tummy time! It is not his favorate thing being on his tummy, but he is getting better with it! He thinks its funny rolling from his stomach to his back!No matter what though his favorate thing is standing!

Nathan 15 weeks old, 7/20/2006!

He sure does love his bouncer!

Smiling as usual!

He is trying to feed himself!

Ahhhhhhh! What a messy piggy!

Our Wisconsin Dells trip, 7/16/06!

Every year My mom, Mary, Kyle, Amanda, Nathan and I go to Familyland Resort in Wisconsin Dells with our Cousins Lynda and Julie and their children, Jeffrey, Jaclyn, Joey, Cori, Willie, and Sarah! All the ladies go and no adult men allowed, just kidding they could come if they wanted! I'm sure he did miss Daddy though! I know Daddy missed him! It is an absolute blast especially going with them because they are so laid back and we all just enjoy ourselves and go with the flow! This was Nathan's 1st year and I think he really enjoyed himself! He was a great little boy!

Yeah, Its swim time!

Amanda and Nathan bathtime!

I think someone had a long day!

Nathan is eating 8 ounces every 3 to 5 hours with a little cereal twice to three times a day! He is sleeping 8 to 10 hours a night. He still takes little cat naps thro out the day! Down below are pictures of Nathans first day eating cereal! We tried rice! He was a little confused at first, but he liked it! He loves his cereal and almost seems sometimes that he can't wait for more!

Nathan 13 weeks old, 7/6/06!

I put Nathan down on the couch and he fell a sleep like this after a few minutes! I guess it was a long day for him!

Uhhhhhhhhh!

He is so adorable!

Nathan is always trying to go go go!

Look at that face!

Nathan is so happy and loves to smile and laugh! We love it! Its so much fun!

Nathan at 12 weeks, 6/29/06

! He eats 8 to 9 ounces every 3 to 5 hours! Hes up a lot during the day and takes very little naps which We love because now we can spend more time with him! He is such a happy baby and we love when he is awake! He sleeps about 8 to 10 hours a night!

Oh no, do you see the remote in his lap! Typical guy!

What a cute little couch potato!

This is kinda silly! One of our bathrooms is a bathroom/laundry room and I was holding him and I had to go to the bathroom so I put him in laundry basket! When I was done I grabbed the camera really quick! He didn't seem to mind to much and it is really cute!

Okay now he is starting to look confused!

Nathan 10 weeks old, 6/15/06!

Look he is holding his own bottle! Just kidding! He can hold it, but can't aim yet and can't hold it for long! Its cute watching him hold it, he does it all the time!
