Happy 2-month birthday, Nate!

Somehow, two months have passed since Nate came into our lives and he celebrated by partying all night -- waking up at 1am and not going back to sleep until nearly 3am, then waking up again at 6am. Maybe that's why I feel hungover ... But overall, he's been a good sleeper, going 5-6 hours most nights and cluster feeding (eating every two hours) before and after.

You may have noticed that the thick mane that Nate was born with has receded since then, but it is starting to come back, just in time for wedding season. We're off to Minnesota next week, then will return for Auntie Mary's wedding at the end of the month.

Nate has definitely become a social butterfly, smiling at us when he's in a good mood, for his puppy Wylie, and even for the ladies at the park. And he certainly likes to talk (where does he get that from?) His babbling has evolved from "goo" to now include "boo," "broo," and "gee" -- a true linguistic genius. I also often hear "OK" and I think he even told me "I love you" today.

He has his first round of shots tomorrow, and stay tuned for his two-month stats. I suspect he may break 13 lbs....
