So, we had Nathan's 2 week doctor's visit, the doctor said he is doing great! He is now 20.5 inches so he grew 1 inch! He is up to 8lbs .05oz's so we have to get him back up to his birth weight of 8lbs 5ozs by next Tuesday at another weight check. The doctor said his Jaundice looks like it's all gone and he is right on track for everything. She was very pleased with how he is doing and she was great with him, she even held him and cuddled him for the last 5 mins of the appt and she tried to walk out the door with him, saying she was gonna take him home with her... hahaha. She was great, what a wonderful Pediatrcian (thanks Sara for recommending her)! It was a very informative visit and she spent a good 25 plus minutes in the exam room with us, asking all sorts of questions and answering everything we had to ask.

The time has flown by, I can't believe Nate is already 2 weeks old!! The days are going so quickly!! I just love sitting around snuggled up to him, he is such a good snuggler!

Nonny (my mom) is coming to visit this weekend, I can't wait to have her here with us! And I know she can't wait to see her grandbaby! I really look forward to spending some time with my mom, I just wish she and my family lived closer than 4 hours away! I really DON'T HAVE A CLUE how my sister does it in Taiwan... I miss her tremendously too, and wish she were here all the time! We are counting down the days until she arrives here in the good ole USA! Nate can't wait to see his Aunt Minda in person!! Praise God for all the wonderful blessings He is showering us with! And nothing better sums that up than a verse my sister recently shared with me, "Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!" (Psalm 126:3 NLT).

Here's a sweet photo of Nate snuggled up to daddy, daddy looked down and took this pic:



Daddy wanted a pic of how small Nate is in his crib... he's not sleeping in it though he's still in his bassinet:



Nate with his car slippers on:


Cutie Pie:


Sweet baby:


Right after his bath, and having a pacifier for the 1st time:








Here's a really cute clip of Nate sucking on his 1st pacifier, at his 2 week doctor's visit today the doctor said he'd be fine to start on the pacifier. We hadn't given him one for fear of confusion with nursing, but the doc said he'd do great with it and to use this specific kind... so we'll see, hopefully we won't have any nursing issues, we've worked so hard to get him where he's at!!! But enjoy this funny video of Nate and his 1st pacifier:




Okay, and I couldn't resist... here's another video of Nate... I just think he's too darling!! Here he is right after a feeding and he's so content and sweet!!
