Who knew...

finding just ten or fifteen minutes to write an update would be so hard to find with little Nathaniel home??? Needless to say, life at the Santiago residence has been turned upside down with Nathaniel's arrival... Sam and I are getting used to our new sleep patterns, and Nathaniel is being very patient (well, most of the time) with his new parents! On his first visit to the doctor's, he weighed in a few pounds lighter than when he was born ~ completely normal, but leave it to me to worry about it! Well, at today's check-up, he gained 10 ounces in a week!!! He now weighs 8 pounds 7 ounces and as of last week, he already grew half an inch! He loves to be cuddled on the Boppy pillow and hates bathtime. Well, he hated the sponge baths; today he had his first 'real' bath, and he didn't cry as much. Oh, yes, the boy can scream when he wants to! His cries are for good reasons, though, and we are getting better at decoding them. He's only been with us for two weeks now, but I can barely remember life without him!
