Nathan in El Paso. He survived his first road trip!
His new trick--sucking on his bottom lip. He also makes a little noise when he does this.
His cute little foot sticking out of his blanket while he was sleeping.
Nathan has discovered the joy of holding and sometimes sucking on his toes/feet.
He looked so cute while sleeping--I realized I don't have many pics of him sleeping, probably because he rarely sleeps!
Julianna LOVES Nathan. Now that he can hold his head up, I have taught her how to pick him up this way and lay him back down. She is becoming a good little helper.
We now have a 4 month old! Nathan went to the pediatrician today and weighed in at 13 lb 10 oz. They are now a little concerned about his weight gain and want me to supplement with formula in the breastmilk again. I just hope he has a better reaction this time around--when we did it before he got red bumps/rashes on his face and was very gassy/colicky. But they want to increase his weight gain so we need to do it. He is very healthy and usually happy and AWAKE. I guess he doesn't want to miss out on anything! So far he's gone 7 1/2 hours during the night on one stretch, and we just got him a glider swing to help him nap better during the day. It seems to be helping a little bit. He is a pro at rolling over now, lifting his head up, reaching for toys, grabbing at our faces or anything within reach, standing up strong while you hold him, cooing and talking, and overall seems very alert and smart! He really is so much fun to hang out with all day while the older kids are in school.
