First Sunday at Church

We ventured to church this past Sunday! Nelson will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, so I figured it was time for me to have some spiritual enlightenment again. I don't think Nelson got too much out of it because he slept the whole time, but I thought it was great!

5 weeks old

My brother, Brian, visited us from Provo for President's Day weekend. We had a lot of fun, and McKay loved having uncle Brian stay with us. The morning after he left, McKay woke up and said, "where'd uncle Brian go?"

Nelson turned 5 weeks old today! He got a bath to celebrate. Baths totally soothe him. We love him so much! He doesn't cry very much, he is great at cuddling, and he is strong (has already survived a few hits from McKay's balls). Even with the continual reminders to McKay that Nelson is not big enough to play ball, it still seems to be a constant struggle. :(

Valentine's Day

With a new baby who takes up a lot of my time, this was the extent of our Valentine's activity. :) McKay liked taking pictures with the heart because it meant he could get a piece of candy. Bribing is a beautiful thing sometimes. We are doing well and hope all of you have a great Valentine's Day!

Two weeks

Has it really only been two weeks??? For some reason, it feels a lot longer than that. :) Nelson is doing great as of his two-week check up. He is growing, eating, and sleeping well. He is 75th % on height and 16th % on weight.

This lovely grandma of our's had to go home yesterday. :( I was really sad to see her go. She helped us so much. She really went all out in trying to keep us fed, well rested, cleaned up, and happy!
