Play Time !

These were taken just before Nathan's birthday (February). We bought him a "big boy" car seat and the box was so big he just kept playing in it. He was making us laugh. He is so wonderful :)

Turning 1 !

It's hard to believe that a full year has gone by already. Nathan is getting so big running around all over the place. Every now and again he even likes to walk backwards. When he got his birthday cake he decided the frosting was paint, and "painted" all over the countertop. We had so much fun with everyone who came over for his birthday, thank you all for coming and for his wonderful gifts. He is definately enjoying a little dragon that Damon gave him, he growls when you press a button. (ROAR!)

Things have been a little crazy for us. I'm still trying to finish school as soon as possible and Richie has been looking for a second job to help play catch-up from the first couple months this year. We are looking forward to warmer months and not beeing in the house so much. It will be nice to have the yard for Nathan to play and the park nearby for walks.

TEETH Galore

Here is a home photo of Nathan's teeth he is sooo big now. He has been standing all by himself for long periods of time and can walk while holding on to one hand. We are working on him walking all by himself but it has been put on hold since he has been sick he doesn't want to do much of anything. He is our little bundle of joy and a cute monkey to boot :)

FAMILY :)

Hurray. We FINALLY got new family photos. I was a little frustrated we couldn't get Nathan to smile to show all his teeth but they still came out cute. Officially he has 7, we felt really bad for him because he NEVER got sick and just this last week he got it all at once. Ear infection, sore throat, stuffy nose and the flu. I have never seen a little one so sick, he's getting better but still struggling he's learning to throw tantrums because we don't know what is wrong just that he doesn't feel good.

Growing Up

Nathan is now 7 months old has two teeth and is scooting everywhere. We have not officially said crawling because he doesn't always stay up on his knees but he is pretty darn close. We love hime dearly and he just gets cuter and cuter. I'm back in school and trying to study while working full time and soaking as much time in with the baby as possible.

NEW HOUSE !!!!

Yeah. After 2 years of searching and 3 different houses we finally got one :) We were very fortunate to sell our condo the same week we found this house and the transition went smoothly. We went straight from our old house to the new one. We now have a home to raise our son in and he can run and play in our backyard....who ever would have though we could do it, but WE DID IT. It's taking a little while to get situated but we are slowly but surely getting there. We are trying to have the house put together for an open house tentatively set for the first weekend in September but we are not positive.

Here is an updated photo of our little guy. He is getting a lot more of a personality and is ALWAYS happy we are very blessed. He rolls all over the floor now and is getting better at how long he can sit up all by himself. It's hard to believe he is a week away from being 6 months old. He tries to crawl but he has only managed to scoot a little. His teeth are starting to come in and we have had a few rough nights but nothing too terrible just feel bad that he doesn't feel well.

We miss the family and hope everyone is doing well.
