15 weeks old

3.7.08-3.13.08

15 weeks has been such a fun age! I'm sure they're all wonderful, but this one has been especially cute. We're starting to see Nathan's personality really develop and he's really starting to associate items with actions - take him near the microwave and his legs will kick (that's where we heat his bottles)... put a bib on him and he'll usually whine (he wears a bib when he eats)... those are just two examples. He's also really starting to realize who mom and dad are and be a bit anxious when new or unfamiliar people hold him. He laughs out loud now and loves to watch us make faces! On March 7th, Nathan rolled from tummy to back 5 times! It was so cute to watch him do that. This week Nathan has begun to sleep through the night without waking up for "paci retrieval". It's great because he sleeps from 830 until 6am with no more than a peep or two! Tons of good pics from this week, and in typical fashion, I couldn't choose, so here are the highlights!

Silly faces






Nathan can now grasp things and pull them toward himself!


His faithful watchdog, companion, and buddy is always close by...



Some good friends of ours have a baby 8 weeks younger than Nathan and they've started taking his pictures with a giant monkey to show how he's growing! Perfect idea... so we've stolen it (thank you Kristin and Quinton) and on the 10th we got Nathan a giant lion. You'll start to see more pics with this silly lion. Here are his first reactions to it...






Some sweet morning faces to share






I'm getting so big!


I love listening to my daddy play guitar


This week, Nathan has started to love on his blankie. It's so cute. He rubs it all over his face, puts it over his head, and snuggles with it. Too cute! Thank you KP and Pete for the awesome blanket!


Bath time with daddy - still a favorite
