So Sweet...

This picture shows just how sweet he is! He has found his hands and he loves to hold on to them. It is like an automatic toy no matter where we are. Here he is sitting in the Bumbo. He loves to sit up and play in there.

After he gets up in the morning and eats breakfast we spend some time sitting and playing!

This was a mommy-get-together with some friends at the mall. We each have recently had our first child. And it has been a lot of fun to get together and share stories and ideas! Although it is adult time, all we talk about are our sweet babies!

From Left to Right: Meryn was born Dec 19th, Hunter was born Jan 25th and Nathan was born Dec 29th. They were so cute sitting together!

What we have been up to...

Nathan is growing so fast and changing every day. One day he discovered his hands and now he can't stop putting them in his mouth. The next day he discovered his feet. He hasn't quite figured out how to put his toes in his mouth - yet, I'm sure it won't be long. He is so smiley and so much fun.

Enjoy a few pictures below of what we have been up to...

Nathan and Paul out to eat. Nathan loves the outdoors
and often if he is fussy, we take a walk outside. Dallas weather has been perfect and this night we enjoyed dinner outside.

Meryn is 10 days older than Nathan. We have had a lot of fun hanging out with Meryn and her mom Lauren.

"Africa is the Hottest Ticket in Town"

Well, there you go! I just heard on the Today Show (my window into the world as a new mom) that "Africa is the Hottest Ticket in Town!" Of course, they were referring to visiting a safari. But I think a hospital in Soddo, Ethiopia will be even better.

I just thought that would be a fun thing to blog about this morning.

Easter pictures of Nathan coming soon. And my dad is visiting this weekend, so maybe we will get some more award winning shots too!

May everyone have a great Easter and remember the Joy in the Resurrection of Christ!

Time with Friends

On our trip to Austin we met up with a lot of my (Becca's) college friends.

This Nathan's newest friend, Malachi. He is 2 months older than Nathan. They were already talking to each other and Malachi was holding Nathan's hand.

Angela, Halim and Malachi

It was fun to watch them together.

Dr. Gray

This is a picture of Nathan in his baby Scrubs. We took this on January 30th, to celebrate Paul passing his surgical oral boards! As you can see, Nathan was busy at work as his scrubs are all spit-uppy. I can't believe how tiny he looks in this picture.

Road Trip!

We took Nathan to the Austin area this past week. He met his Great Gramps and Aunt and Uncle Seifert and Second Cousin Alex. We also hung out with many of Becca's college friends and their families. See pictures below:

Nathan was so happy with Great Gramps (Becca's mom's dad - Vern ).
He could have stayed in his arms all day!

Nathan has been very snuggly lately.

That is the first half of our trip. I will add more tomorrow. I promise Paul was there too, he just hasn't shown up in the pics yet.

Happy Time!

Nathan has learned to have Happy Time! Usually after burping he spends some time in the bouncy chair looking at a singing mobile and then we have kicking time on his activity blanket. He smiles a lot and is so cute, as you can see. These are just a few of his cute faces. He has also started talking to me, we have been discussing the economy and the upcoming election. Just kidding, he just oohs and ahhs.

p.s. He is sleeping at least 7 hours in a row at night! Which makes Happy Time for all of us.
