Nathan is 4 months old - and can roll over!









Pictures: First 4 are Nathan at 4 months (with monkey and crib toy that he loves). #5 is at Elitch Gardens right before he fell asleep during the dog show. #6-#8 is our church service - the large building to the right is our North Campus church. #9 is Nathan matching his frog blanket!

Today Nathan turns 4 months old and last night he "officially" rolled over. He's been doing a 3/4 roll, but his arm kept getting in the way - so we didn't count it. Last night full 100% from back to stomach! We are super proud of him!
We had a busy weekend. Saturday was Jason's company day at Elitch Gardens (Six Flags) so we spent about 4 hours there before heading over to "Taste of Colorado" for about an hour. We came home to relax and for Jason to watch the Clemson game. Sunday our church had our "Celebration Service" where both locations and all 6 services were combined into one. We had it outdoors this year and took our tent for our home group to sit under. Thankfully they still had the nursery indoors so Nathan chilled out inside while we were outside. That afternoon we walked over to our neighbor's for a cookout and had a great time meeting and talking with new people - until the rain drove us home. Finally on Monday we chilled. We went out once for lunch and groceries and then stayed in the rest of the day getting ready for the work week.
We have a suspicion that Nathan has our allergies, but we're praying he doesn't! After being outdoors he had red eyes and a rash on his check. Then the next morning - congestion and a little cough without fever. My cough is awful right now so I'm trying to get in to see my allergist. Maybe it's just something in the air..... or he got another cold from daycare. Not sure.
Thursday I will go for my screening to become a milk donor to "Mother's Milk" and make my first donation. I will be donating a minimum of 150 ounces to be used for sick or preemie babies that their mommies are not able to produce milk or not enough. I had a talk with Nathan beforehand and he said as long as he got what he needed I could help other babies. We're trying to teach service early. I must have pretty good milk since Nathan is probably 16 or more pounds and has officially outgrown the bassinet - even I can't deny it anymore!
So that was our exciting Labor Day weekend. We loved having 3 1/2 days together. Every weekend should be 3 days!
