4 months old

4 months old...and it's been a big week for all of us. I went back to work on Monday, so Nate started daycare. Just like I did with Simon, I freaked out about the daycare we had chosen for Nate, and at the very last minute we found another option. It's a small daycare run out of a home and it's the owner's second location. She was scheduled to officially open on the 26th, but made it work so that she and her 18 month old daughter are caring for Nate all by himself for these first two weeks. We feel very lucky to have found this situation, and so far (yes, it's only been 2 days) he's done really well there. I, on the other hand, have been a bit of a weepy mess.

Otherwise, Nate is just being his usual baby self...he loves to smile and giggles more readily now. Simon likes to try to tickle him under the chin, but I have a feeling it's a little more aggressive than a regular tickle should be. We have been sitting him up in his bumbo from time to time and will likely start him on early solids before too long. His potassium has stayed in the normal-but-high to high-but-low-high range (get all that?)--long story short, we are still just watching and waiting.

So...that's where we are at 4 months...and here's the official shot!
