2 Sick boys :-(

Nathaniel has been under the weather for a few days. He is doing better today. I think the last few days he has successfully got the snot factory up and running, and he has ooze coming out his eyes.... yuck. It's so sad to see him not feeling well. He is doing well all things considered and gives a smile every once in a while. Just not the usual kid we have around here :-( Lots of snuggles though. I've been letting him take his afternoon nap on me... I know I know, I'm spoiling him. It's just so sad to see him so stuffy and runny, and his cheeks are all red (maybe because I've been washing them so much). Poor little boy. Get better soon!

And then Ken came home from work today... and went straight to bed. Get your SuperMom cape on... no rest for the weary! Wait I can call Oma! When are you coming over tomorrow mom?

10 Months Old

Wow 10 Months! Can it be? We've survived almost a year of baby bootcamp! I've had a few relatives put in an order for another one... sheesh! I'm not a baby making machine! And after last night... maybe just one will suffice. Nathaniel was up all night :-( Maybe teething? Once he gets that worked up it's hard for him to remember why he is crying, just seems like the thing to do.
Anyway, Nathaniel is now crawling... which makes my day that much more exciting. He seems to be eating well... still nursing 4-5 times a day, but eats 8-10 ounces of pureed food too. He seems to be gaining weight and doing well though! He loves spending time with his daddy and can't wait for the "fun one" to come home. He says Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma. Although it would be nice to say he is calling for me I'm not sure it isn't just babbling. He can clap his hands and shake his head if we say either of those things. And if you say "Don't eat my nose" he dive bomb you, mouth wide open so get ready to move... quick! He is so much fun!

Christmas Ornament

We were lured into Picture People the other day... enticed by a coupon for a Free Baby's First Ornament. How cute is this!

On the move

Am I going to be able to keep up with this little man? He is definitely moving now and we are getting into things that require a stern "no touch Nathaniel, that's not for us". He loves climbing all over daddy in search for the remote. They both love to wrestle. Nathaniel gave Daddy a big sloppy kiss :-)

The best toy ever

An empty can of Pringles! Hours of Fun!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a nice time with my parents and my dad's side of the family. Nathaniel was especially thankful for the Aunts and Grandparents that wanted to hold him and entertain him.

Black Friday

The best part about Black Friday was hanging out with my mom. We used to go out every year, but the last few years we haven't had a chance to. Mom graciously drove to my side of town and stood in lines with me. I don't think I got any spectacular deals... but I did get a lot of stuff (at a decent price) crossed of my list :-) And like I said the best part about it was time with my mom. I love you mom!
