Little things

Some big hands to fill!

Tiny fingers.....

and toes!

Some Glamour Shots

The view from where I sit. I almost caught a full-blown smile! He was happily off in dreamland after a big lunch!




Looking so serious! He also gets this look when he is sucking on his pacifier. I'd like to know what he is thinking!


Cute baby! We are still trying to decide if his eyes will be blue or brown? The majority of both of our families have brown eyes, but Nathan and his daddy both have blue eyes. Right now they are the dark blue color that most babies have, we will just have to wait and see!

Sleeping Beauty

I know that boys are not supposed to be beautiful, but he is! He normally sleeps on his back, but for some reason in the afternoons he doesn't sleep for long on his back. So, if we put him to sleep on his side, he will give us a good long nap - long enough for us to get a nap in too!

Cheek to cheek and nose to nose

Sharing a little one-on-one time with Daddy.

For the Grandmother and Great-Grandmother

Happy Baby = Happy Mama

I have been hearing about the benefits of a pacifier from the grandmother and great-grandmother at just about every visit or phone call. I was well aware of the benefits - as years of babysitting, nanny-ing and day care working has shown me. I just wanted to wait a little while, and was going to wait a little longer, but am glad that I didn't. Y'all can be very happy!

We are pleased to announce.....

...that we are the proud parents of an innie? outie? halfie?

You decide.

We were walking along....minding our business

Enjoying the nice weather with a walk in the stroller. We think he liked it - although he slept through the whole thing. The only problem with walking in the garden district is that the sidewalks, when they are there, can be uneven or have parts missing. Eventually we will find a route that works.

One cute/funny thing about our almost two week old is that most of the time when he burps it is a cute, small, almost dainty sounding burp. But, every now and again - to our surprise - he lets out a big manly belch!
I hope that he doesn't grow up to find burping hilarious like his daddy!
