Two months old!

Nathan is two months old today! In some ways it's hard to believe that it has been two months already, and in other ways it is unbelievable that Nathan's only been in our lives for two short months. He is getting bigger and learning more every day--it's amazing! He's really figured out how to smile, and is working on different coos and sounds. It is so much fun to have him get more interactive every day.

I had my first day back at work yesterday. This week and half of next week I am just working in the afternoons, which is making the transition easier. Still, leaving Nathan at daycare yesterday is the hardest thing I've done. It is the first time I've done something that went completely against my mommy instincts. Even though I really like the in-home daycare that we are taking Nathan to, it just felt wrong to have someone other than me or Todd taking care of him. Luckily Mary, the daycare provider, has a lot of experience with first-time moms on the first day of daycare drop-off, and she was very reassuring. Nathan had a great time on his first day, and I survived as well!

Here are some photos from today, as well as a video:




Mom, get that camera out of my face!


I can't help it, I think his pout is adorable!
