The Stevens Family Blog: Week 2

This past week has been quite an adventure. Matt was stoked that there was a south swell during his 9 work-day paternity leave, so we took Nate down to Point Panic three times so that Matt could go bodysurfing. Nate and I just chilled in the shade. It was so nice to have Matt home over the past week and a half, and to be able to hand baby off to him to be burped or for a diaper change. Matt went back to work today, so I am now on my own with Nate during the day. Donna came over today and that was so nice to finally be able to introduce her to our strapping young boy. She brought over three stuffed toys that she sewed herself! I was very impressed with her hidden talents. :o)

Matt's parents have babysat Nate twice this week, allowing us to have our first post-baby date night and to go to a graduation party. It is so nice to have them here locally and to know that we can trust them with our baby. They love spending time with him too!

Nate's accomplishments this week include focusing on faces and holding his head up for a few seconds. His neck is still really wobbly and we look forward to the day that he can hold it up himself. It is a great feeling to have him stare at me. I wish I knew what was going through that little head of his! Here are some random pictures from this week:
