Baby Shower

Nathan had a very exciting day yesterday at his very first party...a baby shower in his honour...too bad he couldn't eat any of the cake (the rest of us enjoyed it for him). He pretty much slept thru the whole event - but a sleeping baby is better than a crying baby! We think he is a very handsome baby boy, and he was surrounded by lots of ladies who all wanted to hug and kiss him. Thank you to everyone for your very generous gifts of clothes and toys, he is going to be the best dressed baby on the block. A HUGE thank you to Andie for her party planning expertise

Aliyah - the "baby whisperer" - she made a couple creative pages for Nathan's scrapbook, and we're looking forward to her spending an afternoon as a "mom's helper/babysitter"Here's a few shots of the guests - Lynne "the baby pro" - Nathan slept in her arms for at least half an hour - not even a peep!

Kelly looks like a natural....Craig, can you hear her maternal clock ticking??!!

Jen was able to come down on Saturday and spend some quality one-on-one time with Nathan...oh yeah, and me too.

Alexis enjoyed spending some time with her cousin...but I think she was more interested in trying to eat his feet!

Check out this amazing cake! I felt bad cutting into it - but let's be honest, cake is made to be eaten.

And here's just a few other pictures from this past week - Snickers has been good up until now at leaving Nathan's things alone, and she's been pretty indifferent to him in general. Paul woke up the other morning, and noticed a little head pop up out of the bassinet - but it wasn't Nathan, it was Snickers! Jen suggested putting aluminum foil in the bed when Nathan isn't in there, I guess cats don't like the foil

Nathan and I took a trip to Oma and Opa's house last week when Paul was working late - Nathan looks very comfortable taking a nap on Oma's chest - so cute.
