Boyfriends, Babysitting and Cousin Nathan

Johanna's friend, Landon came over for a visit the other day. Landon is almost 4 months old and is as cute as a button. We tease that he will be Johanna's boyfriend when they get older. Right now, judging from this picture it looks like she is hiding her face from him in embarrassment and he wants nothing to do with her! We have been giving her naked time to air out her little bum and clear up the mild rash she'd developed. I couldn't resist the butt shot. Her little rash cleared up in no time though, thanks for the suggestion Jolene!She still isn't too fond of her swing yet, but look how much bigger she has gotten! She has gained 3 1/2 lbs since leaving the hospital.Mommy and peanut.Look at these adorable shoes from her Aunt Kara! I am so excited these fit, now she has a few other super cute shoes we can add to her outfits :)

Yesterday we reached a milestone...Grandma got to babysit her for the first time! I had a dentist appointment up the street so we packed up the diaper bag and headed over. I made sure to feed her right before I left, and left Grandma an emergency bottle but luckily in the hour that I was gone she slept. Even though it was a very long hour for me, she didn't even seem to notice. I was so relieved!

While at Lori's we made some delicious turkey enchiladas with our leftovers from Thanksgiving. We didn't take any pictures but it was probably for the best, I ended up cutting my finger on the cheese grater. I am clearly not Food Network material.

We also got to Skype with Kara, Russ, and little tiny baby Nathan. He is the cutest thing in the world. I was lying in bed feeding the baby on Sunday night and had gotten the text from Lori that they were on their way to the hospital. I was so excited I couldn't go back to sleep. It seemed like something from a movie, every 20 minutes or so I would get another text... I got up to change the baby and got the message that she had delivered little Nathan. This all happened in 2 hours! It was pretty neat on our end, I think waiting for someone to have a baby is so challenging. Kara made the wait nice and quick for us :) We are SO proud of her for handling such a stressful situation so well! She is such a champ not to mention an expert in the laboring department! Little Nathan is so precious and we can't wait to meet him in person. What a great ending to an awesome year!
