12 Weeks Old!!!

Sorry for the late post everyone - Fall is in full swing and like everyone else our schedule seems to have gotten crazy overnight!

Let's see...Nathan kicked off week 12 with a free chicken sandwich from Chick-Fil-A (they had a great Labor Day deal - wear a shirt with a team logo and get a free sandwich). Of course, daddy had to dress Nathan in his Ohio State garb, compliments of Uncle Jeff and Aunt Jenny (for those of you who don't know, Kev grew up in Ohio and his whole family is nutty about The Ohio State University Buckeyes!!!). We met Grandma and Grandpa Krestel at the restaurant and since Nathan's not eating solids yet he was nice enough to give his sandwich to daddy and Grandpa to split! The nice manager of the restaurant gave Nathan his first balloon (which was about as big as him). Another first was Nathan's first picnic - he and I met my former co-worker, Cynthia, for a picnic lunch at Shaw Park and it was a gorgeous day! On Saturday daddy had to dress Nathan in his Ohio State garb once again to help root the Buckeye's on against USC (sorry Bucks - you didn't redeem yourselves)! Later that day we took Nathan to the Clayton Art Fair - he wasn't too interested in the art though, as he was all about snoozing in his stroller!

Ok, so what else was going on with Nathan during his 12th week? Well, he about gave mommy a heart attack when she went in to check on him while he was crying during a nap and she found his doing a face plant into his mattress! That's right folks, he rolled from his back to his belly. However, he was swaddled, so we took him out of his swaddle so that his left arm now gets in his way and he can't roll over! Daddy was excited at the progress he had made whereas mommy was a bit nervous for his safety. So, now our little guy is sleeping unswaddled and getting frustrated when he can't make it over to his belly - but all in good time I'm sure! During week 12 Nathan also decided that EVERYTHING that he can get his hands on must go into his mouth! This proves to be very interesting when he's trying to shove his hands in his mouth while breastfeeding!

Check out some more pix below - isn't the one of him in his ducky towel after bath time ADORABLE?!?! I just can't get over how cute he is and what an absolute blessing from God he is!!!

More exciting news is that we got our new camera and it is awesome! I'll be posting a few pictures from it and you won't believe the difference. I'm kicking ourselves for not buying it before he was born, but better late than never!
