Hodgepodge of Pictures

Nate is six weeks old today. I had a really tough afternoon today as I packed up Nate's newborn clothes that he no longer fits. He is growing so fast! It seems like just yesterday he was a tiny helpless newborn and now he is a big 11 pound boy who is getting chubby and starting to hold up his head on his own. I feel I can actually see him physically getting bigger as I watch. I know this might all sound silly, but packing up his clothes that he has outgrown made me feel so nostalgic. This really is such a precious time in his life and I am treasuring every minute.

Nate fell asleep during tummy time a couple of days ago and Emma came over to keep an eye on him. (Don't worry, I was watching them both the whole time!) Side view - too cute!We enjoyed dinner with Joanna and Tim last week. Tim prepared a fish that he had speared. It was unbelievable. Better than Sam Choy's. Seriously.

Gorgeous Point Panic sunset.

Nate enjoyed a nice visit with our Kenyan friends Vivian and Gideon.

PJ and Jon came by to meet the little guy.

On Sunday afternoon, we took Nate for his first swim in the Wilkinson's brand new pool!

Mommy tried to teach Nate to backfloat, but he was such a natural that he really did it on his own.

Daddy and Jim Wilkinson gave Nate his first surfing lesson.

They even pushed Nate all the way across the pool on this board! Mommy was a little stressed...but Nate seemed to enjoy it.

This was just this afternoon at Point Panic. We ran into Jimmy Wilkinson out surfing, so we seized the opportunity for him to take a family picture.

Mommy chilled out with Nate while Daddy went bodysurfing.

Nate is starting to smile occasional social smiles! They melt my heart! Here was a lucky one caught on film.

And lastly, just for fun, here is a clip of Nate and I trying to get the above picture two days prior. Please excuse the my high pitched silly voice. He is heartbreakingly adorable even when crying!
