1 1/2 years

Nathan is a year and a half old today!!!!

The time has gone by so fast.

Nathan's favorite things to do:
-read books
-play outside
-drive his cars
-color with crayons
-build with blocks

Cute things Nathan is doing:
-Talking alot more. It kind of sounds like gibberish but every once in a while you will catch a few real words. His favorite saying's right now are "what is this" and "more". He is also pointing to objects and trying to say the word for them. Everywhere he goes he points and says what things are, it's really cute.

-Nathan is turning into a boy for sure, he now knows where his butt is and repeatedly makes sure you know where it is too. He giggles when he farts (I think they do that even when they grow up) and he won't let you have the remote when we watch TV.

-The other night during dinner we were having quesadilla's and green beans, Nathan kept dipping his green beans in the salsa and slurping it off.

-He gives the best kisses (other than daddy) and great big bear hugs before bedtime.

-Nathan is the best to read books with, we get snuggled up in a blanket and can read for about a half hour before he is ready to do something else.

-Nathan is really good at putting things back where they go, and he will let you know if something is out of order.

-He doesn't like snow on his boots, and he absolutely will not wear mittens, they must be gloves, and even then he rarely will wear them.

-Billy's horse and Nathan give each other kisses every time we go feed the horses. Nathan also think the horses deserve grain every time we go outside, even if they have already had some that day.

Cute photo's

I love this little face!

Nathan is such a happy baby.

Nathan all bundled up to feed the horses with daddy, he has on so many layers he can hardly move. We had to start putting gloves on his hands because he will not wear mittens!

Cute little goofy grin.

Christmas Morning

Nathan and Mama checking out Nathan's new toy.

I just love Nathan's expression in this photo! He has been really into Elmo lately, and Santa brought him a talking Elmo, this was the look on his face when he saw what Santa brought him.

Nathan just loved looking in the stockings and pulling out all the goodies.

Daddy and Nathan checking out more toys that Santa brought.

Christmas was pretty mellow this year, Nathan and I were both really sick. We had a nice Christmas morning, and enjoyed having Billy's family and my dad over for Christmas dinner.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Billy's family, we had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed opening lot's of presents. It was really funny to watch Nathan opening all his presents, because for almost a month we had been trying to keep him out of the Christmas tree and out of the presents, and now all of a sudden he could open them. He was a little unsure at first, but once you started ripping the paper for him, he got the idea and finished opening them. I love this picture because Grandma and Papa almost look more excited for Nathan to open the present than he does.
