My dad working with T and N frosting a birthday cake.

      Nathan told me the other night while we were snuggling that it was all right if his kisses were wet and I wiped off the wetness because the love would still stick on my cheek.

      Samuel had his two month check-up. He weighed in at 12 pounds, 4 ounces! He had three needles and an oral vaccine. I am glad they have developed a rotovirus vaccine as I remember the boys (and us) it having when they were 1 year old.....it was an awful week. Samuel is doing just fine according to the doctor except that he turns his head the same way when he sleeps and it's getting flat on that side, so we'll work on that.

Guess who smiled at his mama on Monday? Samuel! He has been making eye contact the last week and then after a little work, I got a few smiles! I was able to get it again yesterday. I'm still working on it today.

Likeness

Fuzzy hair after a bath. 

New use for old bouncy seat. 

Who is this baby? An old picture of Matt. When people ask me who I think Samuel looks like, I say I think he is a mini-Matt. This is just one picture that I think shows this.

A Few First

Samuel's first reaction to his bath.  Maybe the water was too hot!  Yikes. 

Then he happily settled in.  He went to sleep that night quite well.  He seems to have a hard time settling down after his last feeding.

Rocking on his grandpa's shoulder 

Sitting with his grandma. 

On the changing table with his new teddy. Thomas and Nathan had the job of finding and choosing a teddy.

Visits and swings

A lovely Monday morning visit from Barbara B.






Samuel trying out the swing. Where are his feet? He looks little here but I can't get over how fast he is growing. He is changing so much right now. I attempted to weigh him on our scale this morning and it registered 9 pounds exactly. His last doctor's visit at 2 weeks old, he weighed 8 lbs 2 oz.






A closer picture of his face....pursed lips...wonder what he is thinking of.

Nathan is so cute with Samuel. Every time Samuel cries and he isn't in my arms, Nathan takes it as a personal challenge to sooth him. Nathan finds the pacifier and does his best to keep it in Samuel's mouth. He still wants to hold him every chance he can.

3 Weeks Old

Just a couple of pictures of Samuel from yesterday and this morning to show him at three weeks. He sure seems tiny in the stroller. I was catching the end of a smile in that picture.
