Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

He's come a long way...


one day old


three months


six months

and now nine months (as of Feb. 3)

To celebrate his nine month birthday Nate got to try his first Oreo (well, just a tiny taste).

He had his nine month checkup on Friday and here are the stats:
weight - 20lbs 5 oz (50th %)
height - 28.5 inches (50th)
head circum - 47 cm (90th)
I am happy to report that he is doing well. That was not the case a few weeks ago. In mid January we lost our sweet, content Nate to screaming-arching his back-throwing his legs-can't sleep-won't eat or nurse-Nate. After a few weeks of misery we took him to the doctor and all symptoms pointed to acid reflux. We got him started on Prevacid one week ago and he is back to his old happy self. Thank goodness!


Enjoying a wagon wheel while watching Sesame Street




Nate hates pureed vegetables (peas, squash, and green beans have all made him gag and wretch) but enjoys carrots and broccoli in their non-pureed state.


Valentine's Day 2009

and Valentine's day 2010






Poor Piper was desperate to get in on the action




Edward took these next two pictures to show me what happens when I leave Nate (and by leave I mean take a two minute shower).

Actual tears! How pitiful!


Not to worry, Nate made a quick recovery. He was eating dinner until he got distracted by some Piper action. Edward pulled out his laser (see him in the background) and Nate got a kick out of Piper jumping on the wall trying to catch the light.
