Nathan LOVES his Mommy!!!

As I was rocking Nathan to sleep last night (it's the only way he will go to sleep), I realize just how much he loves me. He was so so tired, but would not keep his eyes closed because he wanted to keep looking at me. He wanted to make sure I was still holding him. I absolutely LOVE our night time snuggling time! I sing to him, I kiss him and I just rub his little bitty head. He prefers me over anyone else. While singing to him I couldn't help but think of the aerosmith song, "I don't want to miss a thing." So I started to sing this to him....

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

I imagine Nathan singing this to me....

Don't want to close my eyes
Don't want to fall asleep
Cause I miss you mommy
and I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you mommy
and I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to stay with you
right here with you just like this
I just want you to hold me close,
feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
for the rest of time.

So for now this is Nathan and mommy's song! I love that little boy SO much :)

Sweet Nathan is two months today! Ok, so we thought the first month went by really fast, but we were wrong the second month was even faster. It’s hard to believe that we fall more and more in love with our sweet baby boy every day. God has blessed us so much and we thank Him daily for giving us Nathan! God is so amazing; we see His power at work more every day!

Dear Nathan,

Wow, it’s hard to believe you are two months today! It just seems like you were born only 2 weeks ago and here you are a 2 month old! You have grown even more since last month. You have gotten so long, that your feet dangle now when mommy cradles you. We know you have gained even more weight. Mommy and daddy think you weigh a good 10 pounds but we will find out for sure on Thursday for your two month check-up. We all are dreading your visit because we know you will be getting more of those awful shots. It breaks mommy’s heart to see her sweet boy in any kind of pain, so daddy is coming with us this time so he can comfort mommy while she comforts you!

You seem to learn something new every day. You are still rolling over, even though you don’t seem to love it. You are still oohing and aahing and have even started to gurgle and coo. Your baby talk is so precious! You love when your mommy sings to you; you join in for a duet. She can turn almost any song into a song about Nathan!

Your favorite place to play is your changing table. You love to stare at your stars and moon that are hanging on the wall above your changing table. You talk and smile and even sound like you’re laughing while looking at them. Mommy has tried to get you playing on video but you seem to shy away from the camera. As soon as mommy hits record you instantly stop playing. You are also trying your hardest to sneak and watch TV. If mommy has you on the floor and she walks away when she gets back you are staring at the TV! It makes her so mad, so you do it even more :)

You have found a new love this month, your hands. You LOVE to eat them and swing them and hold them. It is SO cute! You are holding your head up so well, but I think part of it is because you have a peanut head like your daddy :). You are trying to do mini push-ups when you are lying on your tummy. You are starting to like tummy time more. Your favorite thing to do is to follow your mommy with your eyes wherever she goes. If she talks or laughs you instantly look up and you try to find her. But it’s not hard because she is never too far away from you. You seem to love your mommy the most right now, but we know daddy’s turn is not too far in the future!

The most important thing (well at least to your mommy and daddy) is that you have gotten better at sleeping this month! Even last night you slept for nine hours without waking up a single time. That is amazing! Like we have said before, we hope you love to sleep just like mommy and daddy! And it seems you do!

It’s hard to believe that mommy and daddy could possible love you any more than we already do. But every day we fall more and more in love with you. You are such a sweet boy and you love your mommy and daddy so much! We look forward to the many new milestones we know you are going to hit and the monthly birthdays to come!

Love,
Your mommy and daddy
