Smiley Baby

Five weeks old. Wow. It's amazing that no matter how many people told us that things were going to be different from now on, we had no idea. One of the things we had no idea of was what kind of a personality our Nathan was going to get. Well, in his first three weeks or so, he was just boring, doing nothing more than eat and sleep. Now we've gotten a glimpse of some of the most heart-melting open mouth smiles we've ever seen. He already beginning to coo, although we have no idea who he is talking to half of the time. So now, we share some pictures! Everyone's favorite part. :)

Thanks to my mom for sending me some pictures of me as a little baby to make this more interesting and even more debate around our house. Now we have no idea.

First Sunday at Church

Last Sunday, we got Nathan all dressed up and took him to church for the first time. He made a new friend in the nursery worker and everyone kept sneaking in to see him before the service.

R.I.P. Pokey 2002-2007

Today, our family got a little bit smaller and much emptier. Melissa's beloved pet hedgehog, Pokey, passed away today. She was 5... we think. We picked her up as a rescue from a family that decided they didn't want her after all, and who didn't know the first thing about hedgehogs. After some hard times, Meli got Pokey down to the correct size, eating better, and drinking out of a water tube. She was a great little pet and Meli loved her very much. We will miss her.

Who cares if it's just gas.

I don't care whether or not this is "just gas" or is actually an attempt to show happiness, it's just darn cute! Although I did have to hold the button on the camera halfway down for over a minute to catch this.

An interesting collection of faces

Last night Nathan was beginning to show a little bit of personality with some very interesting faces. Sometimes he would smile, then pout, then cry, then smile again, then just look serious, then cry... all in about 10 seconds. We tried to get some pictures of the better faces but it didn't work quite as well as we wanted. Oh well, enjoy the cute faces anyway.
