I'm a month old!

This kid has the knack to relax! What a good kid he has been. The only time he fusses is when he's hungry. That's genetic though, get is from he dad.

Nicholas went to the doctor yesterday for his one month visit. Can you believe he's been here a month already! Time flies..... He's packing on the pounds. He's up to 7lb 5oz. He also grew about half an inch. He's also almost doubled what he eats during a feeding over the last couple of weeks. Dr. thinks he's going to be a taller than both his parents! I can only hope he gets a little athletic ability to go with the size. Other than that there is not much new to report!

Who is cuter than me?

Who has got it better than this kid? He's cute, cuddly, and doesn't have a care in the world at this point. He's been out and about lately. We've been taking small excursions and he's been well behaved. He's had much more awake time over the last couple of days and he's even been sleeping longer through the night...... Thank god! We tried putting him into his first cloth diaper today. That didn't go so well. His tiny legs need to get a little more beef on them before they'll work. That's about it for now. Just the typical growing baby stuff going on here! Here's some more adorable pictures of him.

Look at me play!

Here's a video from a few days ago. Notice the hand eye coordination. It's almost flawless! Not much new here. He's still eating and growing. We've been taking him out on small excursions and it's been going well. He made his first visit to the firehouse the other day. Very exciting stuff!

Look at me, I'm growing!

It's been a few days since the last update so here is the latest.

First we would like to thank everyone for their generosity. The gifts we have received from the shower and others have been amazing! We have had such a great time going through everything, and look forward to watching little Nicholas enjoy all of his "goodies!" He is such a lucky guy to have such special people in his life that love him as much as you all do.

Second, Nicholas had a checkup with the doctor this morning. He is now 20 inches long and up to 6lb 3oz! That's a 12oz jump since last week. Not a big surprise considering how much the little chow hound eats now. We consider ourselves lucky if we make it a full 2 hours between feedings. So... needless to say, the sleep deprivation phase of parenthood is kicking in big time!

Nicholas is really coming into his own now. He is making deliberate movements and playing with some toys, and we can tell his eyes are able to better focus on things. We also went for our first walk in the stroller today - something we didn't think we'd be able to do until spring, considering his expected December arrival!

That's it for now. I don't have any new pictures right now to put up. I do have a video that I need to downsize. I'll get that up as soon as I can. So, keep checking. More to come.
