Sleeping like a champ!

This weekend Nicholas slept like a champ. Friday and Saturday evenings were spent at Mimi and Pop's house while we had a friends wedding festivities to attend. Whatever they did to him worked! Friday he slept for about 5 1/2 hours, which was a first. Then Saturday night, I put him down at 10:30pm and he slept until 5:45am! Of course we woke up in a bit of a panic because he had never come close to sleeping that long, but he was just fine.

I don't think we will be this lucky on a regular basis, but it is good to know that he can go that long sleeping in his crib! Our little guy turns two months old on Wednesday! Time is just flying by!

Daddy's Little Guy

Thanks daddy for making this sweet video. I hope Nicholas turns out just like you! (Make sure you have your speakers on for this one!)

Doctors Visit

Yesterday was Nicholas' second visit to the pediatrician. He now weighs 12 lbs 5 oz and is 24.5 inches long. The doctor said that he is "thriving"! Unfortunately yesterday also included four shots in addition to a vaccine given orally. When the nurse looked at his thighs (the location of all the shots) she said they were great - I guess it pays to have rolls in your legs when going through this process... Luckily the nurse went very fast and it was over in a few seconds. Of course he screamed, but I was able to calm him down pretty quickly. Afterwards, he was very content and even slept on the ride home. All in all it wasn't too bad.

Our next doctors visit isn't until he is 4 months old. I pray Nicholas will continue to grow and be healthy.

Weekend with Gigi and Pawpaw

Thanks Gigi and Pawpaw for coming to visit this weekend! We had fun just hanging out and are looking forward to the beach in a few weeks! Hopefully the weather will be as nice as our trip to the park on Sunday. Below is a picture taken by Gigi - isn't he so cute!! Another picture that Nicholas will thank us for later :-)


You can tell that Nicholas enjoyed the weekend from the clip below...



Tomorrow is our second visit to the pediatrician. We are anxious to find out Nicholas' new stats and hopefully he will get through all the shots without too much trouble.

Nicholas' first road trip

Another week of firsts...

We took Nicholas to the park for the first time on Thursday. While it was rather warm even at 6pm, it didn't seem to bother him.


The Davenport family also decided to take a day trip to Noccalula Falls Park in Gadsden on Friday since Gabe had taken the day off. This was Nicholas' first road trip (the first of many I'm sure) and he did great the entire time (AKA - he slept the whole time).

Sitting right behind the conductor's whistle on the train that runs through the park couldn't wake this guy!


Even wildlife walking right up to him didn't faze him!


He sure did look cute in his little outfit and matching hat!

All smiles!

Gabe and I decided that Nicholas didn't really start smiling in response to us until this past weekend. We have tried many times to capture these fleeting moments on camera with no luck. However, after returning home from a trip to Grandmother and Granddaddy's he was all smiles and we finally got it on film. Next I'm looking forward to baby giggles...

Happy Fourth of July from Nicholas!
