We're getting packed up for the Christmas trip to Mel's parents. Let's see, do we have everything? Clothes? Check. Toiletries? Check. Nathan? Check.
Since we're heading down to where there will be a two year old, we decided to go ahead and open the gifts that came from my sister and mother. Enjoy.

Our taekwondo leadership students were taking their CPR certification class over the weekend, and we got to playing around a little bit with the baby CPR doll. I think the doll is bigger.
Can't believe it's been two months since that eventful Tuesday morning when Nate decided to make his entrance. We've been learning all kinds of new tricks like holding our head up, cooing, laughing, smiling, and putting things in his mouth (yikes). It's amazing to see how he picks up on new things. He's trying very hard, but hasn't learned to roll over yet.
Tomorrow, we get to have that fun two month doctor visit, complete with.... SHOTS! Yippee. I'm sure he'll love that.
Baby Nate discovered today that when he kicks, the baby farm kicker makes the music. Now he's non stop. We've been at it over an hour now and no signs of getting bored. Thanks to him, now I can't get "Baby Animals on the Farm" out of my head. Great... :)
Friday, Melissa's band went to play at a Christmas music festival at one of the local banks. It's a tradition there to have music acts come in and do Christmas music all day long and have Santa there for the kids. So we got Nathan all dressed up in his little Santa outfit and carried him off for his first meeting with Santa. Of course, the outfit was so cozy warm and it was about 70 degrees, so he was comfortably zonked out most of the day. Even while the band was playing, no motion came from him at all. Anyway, we finally got him awake enough to get these pictures out of him.
We wanted to get a family picture in our Christmas outfits after church this morning. Sounds easy right? Try doing that with a seven week old! So, we present to you, the out takes. The first two pictures will be on the Christmas cards we're sending out. The rest, well, you'll see why they didn't make it.

We've been trying for a week to get Nathan to smile on video, but every time we do, he gets camera shy and starts to fuss. I have ten digital videos of him crying, so when we finally got a smile, we had to share. Sorry there's only one smile on the video, and it's right at the beginning.
Tonight we packed up Nathan and took him to Allen for my mid-term at Master Sustaire's Black Belt Extravaganza testing. Everyone at his school had been dying to see Nathan, so we dressed him up in a shirt that read. "Warning Martial Artist in Training." Since it was cold, however, we couldn't put him the shorts that say "I fight dirty."
Anyway, I did a pretty good job on the midterm. Of course, this was just the first midterm since I just got my second degree in September.
