3 Months and Counting!!

Well, actually, Nate was 3 months old last Friday, July 13th. We have just been so busy with his first Birthday/Swim party for Micah Witschorke, his mommy's birthday, and life as usual. So, better late than never.

Nate was very busy his 3rd month learning all sorts of new things. Here is a few of the more notable changes and experiences over the last month:

*His Great Granny came to see him for the second time! His grandpa Dan and Aunt Kelley came, also. He got lots of smiles and kisses.

*As noted in a prior post, he loves to munch on his hands!

*He plays in his bumbo more, even though he is still a little wobbly. He fusses when his toy falls off!

*He had his first visit to Joyland--our church nursery. So far, he has done great.

*He still loves to stretch.

*He is no longer swaddled for naps or bedtime, and he sleeps more consistenly at night. Naps are another story ;-).

*He visited both mommy's and Aunt Traci's works. Everyone enjoyed getting to see him, especially mommy!

*He attends weekly prayer sessions with Grammy at her church. His mommy and daddy love the fact that they pray over him.

*He holds Grammy's finger every time she gives him a bottle. I think Grammy likes it.

*He is really beginning to play and recognize toys more. (see below)

*The TV really catches his attention. He will stretch his neck all the way around to see it.

*He loves to stand in our laps. We need to get him an Exersaucer soon!

*He coos, giggles and even shrieks when he is having fun. Mommy loves it when he smiles when she picks him up at Grammy's after work.

*He celebrated his first 4th of July and nursed through his first Fireworks.

*He has begun noticing the Teddy Bears his mom tirelessly painted in his nursery. He has even smiled at them. This made all the time spent SO worth it.

Bumbo Fun!
