2 Months

Nate had his 2 month appointment with Dr. Bullock this morning. Our little man weighs 10.25 pounds and is 23.5" long. Wow! That's a lot of growing for one month...no wonder he is so hungry!

Nate also got is first set of shots today. I was allowed to hold him while the deed was being done so that made it a little better. He cried (I did not) and then passed out cold in his car seat. Hopefully he won't have a reaction to the vaccination.

Puppy Nap

Last night Nate took a nap with his big puppy Beo.


Unfortunately Jax was napping on the couch in the office and didn't feel like joining in.  I'm sure there will be many opportunities.

Upper Hand/ Bottom Lip

It can be said that some children have their parents by the... er... um... nether regions ;).

Nate very clearly has his father by the bottom lip!

A sleepy boy (when he's sleepy that is)...


"Definitely my brother's son!"


So sayeth Uncle Andrew as Nate decided to flip him the bird.

Just so there's no confusion: Nate was not coaxed in any way.  He was not propped up.  He's been doing this since birth, mostly to me, his father!  Click on the picture to see a larger version.

Can you guess how much fun we're going to have in a few years?????

Dancing Animals

Nate LOVES the mobile over his crib! He watches the animals with such fascination and delight it is as if they are dancing just for him, which of course they are.

Truely a Net-kid

Ok, some of you may have noticed the change to the blog URL. Yep, thats right, Nate has his own domain name.

nathan-elliott.com

Daddy will help him set up email when he's ready. But for now, this should make it easier to find Nate's blog online (update your bookmark to http://www.nathan-elliott.com/).

First real bath

Tonight we had our first real bath...no more sponge baths for this kid!  And at first we didn't like the water but we got used to it pretty darn quickly.

Doesn't mommy look happy!


I could get used to this.
