Cousin time pics # 2





I still have a couple more to post because some of them turned out so cute. Got some really good shots of Jace while he was here.

Cousin time






This one will have to go in 2 post because I want to share a lot of the pictures. Erin, Jimmy, Kendall and Jace all came into town last weekend. Also Chris, Emily, Patrick and Maureen came into town as well. We had Emily's baby shower for Jacob. Unfortunately I forgot my camera last weekend so I don't have any pics. Really mad at myself for that one. Anyway Erin and the kids were still in town this week and they came over last night for dinner. The kids played in the back yard for a while. Also we tried to attempt the "cousin pic" for the 2nd time this week. Do you know how hard it is to get a 15 month old, 11th month old and an almost 3 year old to take a good picture. I hope you enjoy all the pics of us trying to get the perfect shot!

When daddy gives baths



So now I have Brad give Nate his bath time. Just so they can have more bonding time. I look forward to every time he comes downstairs because Daddy seems to give Nate a new hair do. This one was too cute not to share.

Best buddies




Nate has had a best buddy since he was born--Benjamin. This past week Traci and Ben came over for a play date and we both needed some adult conversation. The rain held off so the boys could play in the back yard in the pool and swing set. Nate was all about the pool and Ben was all about the playing with the balls in the yard. I did end up getting a couple shots of them together.

Tater Tot at 9.5 weeks


Week 4Week 6

Week 9.5
Week 9.5

Well this week has been interesting with Tater Tot. The hips have been killing me making it really hard to sleep at night. Pillow arrangement has already started! So why have my hips been hurting so much? Um yeah so Tater Tot has already made an appearance poking out at 9.5 weeks. I looked down yesterday and I was shocked!! I didn't really start poking out with Nate until 14 weeks. I have heard that you show earlier with the 2nd and wow people you were right! So now I have to go shopping for some shirts and summer pants. Hopefully there is some really good clearance sales right now!

Nate is doing OK. He has been battling these eye top teeth and I feel so bad for him. Last night he got up 4 times which is not like him at all. He usually is a really good sleeper. Today he has been extra fussy. I hope these things break through very soon. It has been a long 3 weeks doing this.

Nate and the sprinkler





So yesterday I turned on the sprinkler on low to see what Nate would do with it. I do have to say it was quite funny. He would stand and let the water hit him. He would do it for a little while and then go play on the swing set. The pics tell it all!

15 new things with Nate

OK this is the 3rd time I am trying to post this on my new computer. I keep hitting the mouse pad thing and I keep erasing it! UGH....I was almost done last time.

So I have been a couple days behind posting this. Shoot I am behind on so many things lately. My piles keep getting bigger but I just don't have the energy and haven't been feeling good lately. I have thank you cards since June I haven't done, the house is a wreck, closet's need to be cleaned. But the good thing is Nate is getting well taken care of and is eating every day:). But it is all worth getting behind to bring a new member to our family. Hopefully 2nd trimester is good to me:).

Nate went to the Dr today for his 15 month check up. He is doing very well growing. He also showed me what to look for 18 months because the next one is really important we get the check marks because signs of autism. Thankfully he has 1/2 of them checked already. Makes me feel really good!

Stats from today:

Weight 24.8 lbs (gained over 2 pounds since 12 months old)
Height 32.5 inches (grew 1.5 inches from 12 months old)
Head 50.8 cm (grew a little over an cm form 12 months old)

15 new things about Nate:

1. Spitting is staying on here until I figure out how to get rid of this bad habit. I have solved to stop throwing sippy cup and other things but I am stumped on this one.
2. Walk backwards
3. Climb on the couch, toy box, chairs, and the slide. He loves to climb and would rather do that than play with his toys.
4. Words he knows: duck, cow (love hearing him say it), Thank you, Hello, hi, Daddy, and I am now Na Na
5. takes the toothbrush and tries to brush his teeth
6. Takes the comb and brushes his hair
7. Takes the phone and walks around with it up to his ear and talks and talks and talks
8. Ask him where his head his and he pats his head
9. Sing twinkle twinkle and when I say "out comes the sun" he puts his hands over his head
10. now pushes cars or toys with wheels back and forth on the floor instead of throwing them
11. When Gabbie is digging her ball in her towel he goes over and gets the ball out and runs and laughs. He has so much fun playing with her. Thank goodness Gabbie is so mellow with him. He loves to grab her nose and I know it hurts but she takes it like a champ.
12. Loves to eat dog food again. I thought we were over this one but it has come back. I have fished dog food out of his mouth twice last week.
13. The vacuum he got for his birthday is one of his favorite toys and he now pushes it back and forth like mommy:)
14. Every day he plays with this animal puzzles that make noise and he calls everything a COOOW
15. He now plays with his playground set in the backyard like a big boy. He loves to climb up the slide. Also he loves the fort by going inside of it and close the door and open it.

Now onto Tater tot--

Tater has really not made mommy feel very well lately. Sunday I barly got off the couch. But this afternoon I am feeling like myself agian. I hope it doesn't come back. I hate feeling like that. I would love more energy too. Went to the dr last week and everything looked great. Tater was 7 weeks old. Due date is Mid March. I go Sept 2nd for the 12 week ultrasound for Down's. Then go back to the Dr Sept 11th for a status of the ultrasound. This dr office is really big but I really do like my new dr. I am also excited about delivering very close to home. That way Nate can come see me anytime he wants too without worrying about traffic.

I don't have any pictures to share because I have no energy to take them. I will try to do better with that this week and next and post some new things he is doing.
