Farmington Parade...Week 1 with Daddy gone...Nate turns 1 Month!

Last Saturday Lydia got to be in her very first parade. Once she was on the float she was so happy to pass out candy and toys to all the screaming people on the sidelines. It was so cute to see her so happy!

Here's baby brother hanging out in the shade under the umbrella waiting for Lydia to come.
Here comes the Legacy Dance float!!!
Here are all the girls.
There's Lydia right in the middle.
It was fun to see her and yell for her. Thanks Mo for all you do for the girls. You're awesome.

Jake left on Sunday to NY for training so I realized I had to be a single mother of two for a while. I was nervous at first but its been really good so far. On Monday, I took both kids by myself to Lagoon. Of course Nate slept most of the time in the baby bjorn. Here's a pic of the only ride I could go on with a baby; the train!
Oh look, Nate finally woke up for one of the activities we've went to this summer. Since Jake hates the shows at Lagoon and Lydia and I love them, we decided this would be the perfect time to go. So we went to the new show there and it was actually pretty good. Lydia LOVED it and hated that it ended!

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped out this week and took Lydia and Nate for me so I could rest/relax/get things done! You all are amazing!

I thought I'd throw in this pic of Lydia. My sweet SIL made this skirt for Lydia and I just love it. Such a cute little model too!

Well, my little Nate is officially one month old! I can't believe its been a month already! NUTS! Time sure has flown. Well, there are a few things I want to remember about this kid at one month old.

-First of all, can I just say how strong this kid is. It should be no surprise to me since he was this exact same way in the womb. He was so strong, so early on. I felt him kick way before I felt Lydia and his kicks really hurt too.

When he got put in the "circ-restraint" for his circumcision the nurse had a heck of a time strapping him down. She actually said that he was the strongest newborn she had ever seen or had to work with. It really took her so long to strap him down. That' my boy! Future Utah Utes Football player on our hands!

Since Nathaniel LOVES to sleep, I thought I'd post a picture of his favorite sleeping position. He always has his hands right on his face or next to it. So cute.

-He finally loves taking baths and doesn't cry at all except for when I wash his hair.

-He is such a good baby and NEVER cries (knock on wood). Only when he's hungry and tired does he cry but the second you pick him up and hold him, he stops crying...even if he's starving. After he eats, he's content to lay anywhere and stare up and whatever is in front of him. Although, he does LOVE to be held and cuddled after about a half an hour by himself.

-So far, he's loving the binky. Lydia never did (she'd just chew on it). He loves the sucking senstation.

-He can already hold his own head up for a REALLY long time! He's not fragile like Lydia was at this age and I'm LOVING it!

-He makes the funniest noises when he eats in the middle of the night. It's like he's moaning; kinda strange at first, but now I love it. Lydia of course laughs at it!

-Lydia just adores Nate. She's always laughing at him and he's not even doing anything! When I ask why she's always laughing at him, she always says "Cuz he's cute!" So adorable.

We love you Nate and are so glad you've joined our family!!!
