Messy Eater

In order to get Nathan to eat more than a few bites of his dinner one night, I had him giving me bites of his food. It got very messy! But Nathan was very tickled to be feeding Mommy.

Nathan's New Thing

Well, like most toddlers, Nathan has discovered that he really enjoys finding things in our kitchen cabinets to pull out and play with. If you were to walk through our kitchen door right now, you might very well trip over a container of applesauce or a jar of Chef Boyardee!

Nathan's First Birthday

We had a wonderful day celebrating Nathan's first birthday! Grandma Carole, Bob, Grandma Carol, Grandpa Jim, Great Granddad Jack, Great Grandma Ruth, and Great Uncle Wayne were all here to celebrate.And we did a Winnie-the-Pooh theme. (Nathan loved watching the streamers on the ceiling fan.)

Nathan did try some cake, but was a little iffy about it.

But he LOVED opening up his gifts.

Cuteness

Yesterday I dressed Nathan up in a new outfit and put on his new hat before we went over to Jim and Carol's. I then could not resist taking some pictures of our handsome little boy. :)

Nathan's First Christmas!

Nathan's first Christmas has been a huge success so far, with it beginning with the annual gathering of us, Megan, John, Lydia, Mom, and Bob. And soon we will have the Hind family Christmas.

But like so many kids, while Nathan got some WONDERFUL toys from his aunt and uncle and his grandparents, he found pieces of wrapping paper and the tools used to put the toys together more interesting than the toys themselves.

Nathan Has Discovered His Head

Nathan is really enjoying putting things on top of his head. And it's not just hats that he likes to try to put on there - he's tried to place various toys and pieces of food on there too!

High Five!!

Nathan has learned how to High Five!
