Nathan's First Month

Wow. Can you believe how much Nathan's has grown! When I took him to his one month check up the doctor asked if I had some sort of magic milk. I told him no, but Nathan has a huge appetite. He likes to nurse every 2 hours. He now weighs 9.2 lbs (30%), is 21.5 inches long (45%) and his head circumference is 37.5 cm (30%). That is pretty good considering he was a month early and he only weighed 6 lbs 4 ounces at his two week check up.

Here is Nathan getting his first bath. He did the same thing Abby and Maddy did during their first baths--scream.

He finally calmed down after he got used to the water.
Nathan is a really good baby. He usually only cries when he is hungry. Although he does grunt/snort a lot--I think it's a male thing. The only hard thing is trying to coordinate all his feedings (he likes to nurse every 2 hours) with taking care of the girls. Other than eating he likes to be cuddled and loves to fall asleep in our arms. He really is a sweet, perfect baby.

Absolutely precious! I am glad he is a good baby for you. And I can't believe he's gained so much weight in such a short period of time! Way to go Nathan!

Awe, so very cute, love the bath pictures. I had a hard time with the nursing and two other kids too, it didn't last long, hopefully you can do it longer than I could, it's hard, three is a so different huh. Good luck, he is so cute, wish I could see him in person :)

We are way behind on the blogs, so it is so wonderful to see you guys and how well Nathan is doing! The girls are natural little mothers:). If only there was more of mommy to go around, we know the feeling:). We're glad Jared likes his new job and we're excited you'll have more time as a family! Good luck and thanks for the pictures and updates!
