Dear Nathan,

I have a feeling you won't be contained to one spot much longer.  You are loving time on your tummy and are anxious to get moving!  So far all you've accomplished is scooting backwards a little--but you are close!  You've also decided you don't like it when Daddy or I leave the room.  You make your objection known rather quickly!  We are glad you like us so much but want you to know we will always return to get you.  You are liking most of the food you've tried except for peas--you make gagging sounds when we try to give them to you!  You aren't too interested in bananas either but you love broccoli, squash, carrots, avocado and pears!  You have been going to Kids Club at the gym on a more regular basis and seem to like it as long as the same caregiver is with you the whole time.  You are not a fan of being handed person to person that's for sure.  You are growing up way too fast so I'm trying not to blink as much!

Love,
Mommy

Adoption Rocks!

Yes I know--many of you reading this blog may think our matching shirts our "corny" but  I think our little family is pretty dang cute!  We wore them at Nathan's Adoption Party!

 

 

 

 

Moving

It doesn't feel real that we will be moving to California two weeks from tomorrow!  We are in a contract with a buyer for our house and are waiting for the bank to approve the short sale.  I've applied to seven different school districts in Bakersfield.  We've booked our moving company.  We put down a deposit on a house to rent in Bakersfield.  We've started packing--finally!  And we've even had a going away party thrown by friends of ours...CRAZY!


 

Nathan's First Plunge in the Pool!

Cool Dude on the way to the pool!

Getting in with Daddy--he wasn't sure what was going on!

The big pool was too cold and he did not like it!

Much happier in the Baby Pool!  And much warmer!

Holding on for dear life!

 

 

Nathan and Daddy!

Daddy is Nathan's surf board!

 

He discovered today that his sunglasses are also fun to chew on!

Wow, Nathan's feet have really grown!

I think even he was surprised at how big they were!

 

Oh wait, those feet belong to Daddy!

All Done!

His shirt was quite hard to get off all wet!

Hanging out and drying off with Grandma George!

31 Weeks

This is how we often find Nathan in the morning...

Cool dude with his shades visiting Mommy at work!

Not a fan of peas...

Mommy's Little Dude!

 

We love his face as he studies things!  He's checking out his instrument collection...

 

Future drummer??

Stacking Cups!  Or should I say knocking them down??

 

 

Cuddling with Mommy!

Hanging out in a high chair at Rubios

Melt my heart....

Getting his hair done just like Daddy!

1st Haircut!

We went to Cool Cuts for Kids for Nathan's 1st Haircut:


He loved the car he got to sit in!  

He couldn't stop playing with the wheel!

His "superman" cape!

Hair is sprayed down!

First cut!

He was a little fidgety--but he didn't fuss one bit!

 

 

 

He kept leaning back to see who was working on his hair!

 

Getting the back buzzed...he sat perfectly still for that part!

Trimming his manly sideburns!

 

 

 

 

 

All Done!

Don't I look cute Mom and Dad?!
