Bathtime Cuteness

I'll post a few cute pictures of Nate now to remind myself how pleasant and sweet he can be, while he screams in his crib from the next room. I am attempting some sort of quasi-Ferberizing to help him learn to go to sleep on his own, and this is night #2 of him screaming for upwards of an hour. Every 10 minutes or so I'll go in and re-pacifier him. His eyes will droop and he'll shut up for a minute before he remembers that he's trying to be mad and re-ignites the screamfest. He's really, really mad. I just don't want him to have to be held to sleep each night, to be gingerly placed in his crib with the hope that he won't wake up to discover that he's being adandoned and demand to be held more. I still remember the ordeal it was to get my brother to bed, who would NOT just go to sleep. To this day he still has sleeping issues.

Anyway, here is Nate being cute. His hair is longer than his dad's at the moment.






* Nate finally fell asleep after an hour of wailing, but I had to stand there until his eyes drooped close for the last time.

Mr. Twisty

Since Nate has discovered his ability to roll we sometimes find him sleeping is some pretty funky positions. Here he is taking his afternoon nap.

Summertime!

We made it up to Owls Head this weekend so that Nate could enjoy his ancestral homeland. En route we stopped at Red's Eats in Wiscasset and Chris got a fried clam roll, which probably caused the serial vomiting later that night. Other than the barfing (which cleared up by Saturday morning), we had a lovely time.

Here's Nate asleep in his cool 'cowmooflage' carseat before we even pulled out of the driveway in Massachusetts:



Here's Nate and his dad out walking on Saturday morning. The hat Nate's wearing is one we picked out last summer while I was still pregnant, and have been waiting anxiously for him to grow into on account of its incredible cuteness. In the second photo, Nate munches on a rock and flashes some sort of gang sign:




Here's a few photos of Mommy and Nate





In this photo, Nate is polishing off his Gatorade. That's pretty much all he eats. That's okay, right?



Finally, just a cute lil' pooper lookin cute:

Getting Warmer

It's been getting nice and summery warm which is great since Nate likes hanging out in his skin suit.



We're not sure if he is actually teething yet but everything is going straight in his mouth lately. He had an especially good time with the left ear of Aunt Amanda's old Mickey Mouse doll. He was going at it like that ear was full of some kind of baby crack!




Just a cute picture of Nate. He's happy that it's finally summer and the Sox are in first place.
