5 weeks old!

I can't believe Nathan is already 5 weeks old! He's been giving us lots of smiles, and has started to tell us lots of stories (although he only knows one word: "oooh", and we don't really know what it means)


I wasn't prepared for winter to come so early this year, but Nathan doesn't seem to mind the snow, in fact, he kind of blends right in with his white snowsuit on.
Aliyah came over for an afternoon for some one-on-one baby time with Nathan - he was nice enough to share is play mat with her. Afterwards Michel had a nice visit with his cousin too.
Nathan has a new favourite chair (and it's my new favourite chair too!) - he spends time in it hanging out with me while I'm in the kitchen making dinner, and it's his favourite place for an afternoon nap - he looks pretty comfortable to me.

Nathan continues to travel well in the car, he mainly just sleeps. This past week I've been trying to get out and do some Christmas shopping. Unfortunately, once the car ride is over, and we're in a store, Nathan tends to wake up and cry - and of course I get the inevitable comment from the ladies in the store "what's wrong with your baby?" I just tell them "he's a boy...he doesn't like shopping!.

I have to give a big thank you to Bily and Brian for the mobile they bought Nathan - it's like an "off" switch for Nathan when he's fussy or crying - we just put him in his crib and turn on the mobile, and it seems to give us instant happy baby time.
