Coming Home and Nathan's 2nd Birthday

We have been home from the hospital for a little over a week now, and M is 10 days old. He has regained his birth weight already, and is happy and healthy. We have much to be thankful for.

M and N are adjusting nicely to each other. Pretty much, M eats and sleeps, and N tells us when he's crying! This morning, I held baby M in one arm and N in my lap while we read a story. N is always offering to give baby M kisses.

My two boys...

Big brother N has enjoyed lots of time outside with Daddy.


Baby M enjoying his cradle...


...and then a nice nap in Mama's arms - this is his "preferred napping environment."


We celebrated N's 2nd birthday on Saturday. Guests were my parents, Grandma and sister M. N had a ball - he loved eating his birthday cake and having everyone sing to him.

The cake had a cool car and roadway on top!


And red velvet was a hit for everyone, especially the birthday boy. Happy Birthday to our first baby!

Thanks! Just to clarify, his weight gain has been great - sorry if the way I wrote that sounded like there had been a problem. He was 8 lb 4 oz at birth, 7 lb 15 oz when we went home, and at 1 week, he was back up to 8 lb 5 oz!
