187 days of wonderful



It is hard to believe that my sweet boy has been in my arms for 6 months now. Everyone said my life would never be the same, but I never imagined it would be like this. No words can describe how wonderful my life is since he has become a part of it. And each day gets sweeter.

Nathan now:
-Nurses 4 1/2 times a day and eats solids with dinner. He has loved everything he has tried including peas, green beans, butternut squash, sweet potatos, bananas, carrots and brown rice. Almost all of it ends up in his tummy.
-Sleeps 13hrs a night straight and naps 1-2 hours twice a day. And can do it pretty much anywhere.
-Sits up on his own with only the occasional topple. He loves this new perspective on life!
-Laughs and squeals, especially with peek-a-boo games.
-Sucks his thumb more than the pacifier. He loves to have something cloth-y and/or string-like around his thumb for added texture. Hair, drawstrings, pacifier clip ribbon, bibs, shirt sleeves...most anything will do.
-Smiles 98% of the time. Even when he is about to cry, he keeps on smiling.
-Gives [very extra-special people] kisses. They are wet and they are sloppy, but they are the most heart-melting kisses I have ever received (not including Danny's, right?).
-Says "Hey!" when he first sees someone he knows. I thought I was crazy, but it was verified this week by a few key witnesses. I say it counts!

Six months used to seem so far away. But the day is here it is and it is wonderful! Here's to a million more.
