Dear Nathan, This month has been full of fun changes. You officially have two teeth! They came in a few days apart and their final entrance made for a few rough nights. You have very quickly figured out a use for them stripping fruit off its peel or gnawing on vegetables. There is still a…
First Year Letters
Seven Months Old
Dear Nathan, You are growing and changing so much these days. You are super tall and the clothes that fit you best for length are 12 months, though I’m still putting you in 6 month size onsies and just tucking in the tails the best I can. It looks like you are moments away from…

Newborn Nathan
On Saturday we hit the six week milestone. As of today Nathan weights 12lbs 1oz and is 23in. Honestly I was shocked he had gained four pounds; he feels heavier I guess but I didn’t think he had changed so much. I looked at the pictures I took of him when he was two days…
One Month Old
Dear Nathan, The first month of your life has been an adventure for our family. You have handled it all in stride by sleeping A LOT during the day and having a typical newborn schedule at night – you still earn your nickname Night Owl Nathan. You fall asleep well on your own with a…
