life with a new baby
Happy Thanksgiving!
We had a marvelous day, chowing down on delicious, and I do mean DELICIOUS food and taking a million pictures of Nathan on his very first Thanksgiving at Paul’s grandmother’s house (Nathan’s great-grandmother.)
I even gave him a bite of banana pudding.
He loved it. He moved it slowly around in his mouth, chewing the soft graham-cracker pieces and making delightful “Mmmmmm” noises.
After we ate, I sat with Nathan on the couch and took this video:

I think he wanted to tell me just how delicious that banana pudding tasted. It was good a taste of heaven.
All in all, Nathan had a wonderful day, even though he didn’t take his nap. Not only did he really enjoy that bite of banana pudding, but he even thrilled himself by running his hands along the couch’s upholstery, feeling the texture. But when his exhaustion with all the excitement started getting to him, all I had to do was whip out the camera.
HE STOPS CRYING.
He really loves having his picture/video taken. He’ll even cry when I put the camera away. So to keep him pacified, I alternated between taking his picture and recording videos.
Hey, whatever works, right?

What a day.

There is something innately endearing about a child putting his or her shoes on the wrong feet. Nathan is completely enamored with his fireman boots. They were a Christmas gift from my mom, and let me tell you, Nathan can’t get enough of them. The first thing he does in the morning, before he’s even More >
The race is on

Racing! I can’t help but smile every time I look at this picture. He’s just so adorable with his curly hair and legs that don’t reach the pedals. It won’t be long before he can play this for real without having to sit in his daddy’s lap. (Before I took the picture, he sat in More >
More and more like a big kid

Nathan is such a big boy. He’s big enough to get out of bed multiple times a night, sneak around his room, and quietly play with his toys. He’s big enough to try to scramble back into bed when he hears Paul or I coming. He’s big enough to apologize for his actions and promise More >
Love to learn

Nathan loves learning how to read. He doesn’t know how to read per se, but he recognizes many words by sight. He knows the alphabet, uppercase and lowercase, so we are working on what each letter sounds like and which words start with that letter. When we learn about the letter “B,” for example, I’ll More >
Hi, God!

Nathan looked up at the sky and said, “Hi, God! I love you! How are you?” as he waved his hand. “You talking to God?” I asked. “Yeah, God’s in the clouds,” he replied. Then he put both hands on my face, tilted my head up towards the sky and said, “Say hi God!” I’m More >
The New Year is here!

I hope everyone had a happy New Year! Regretfully, I did not. But only because I had food poisoning from (I’m pretty sure) some gravy I ate for lunch on New Year’s Eve. I started feeling queasy 3-4 hours after I ate it… and then about 8 hours after consumption, it hit full force. I More >
Oh! Pictures!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!! We most certainly did. I will write a post on it at a later date… In the meantime, here’s some pictures from Thanksgiving. They are awesome. Yes, I know I am quite partial. We had Thanksgiving at Paul’s grandmother’s house and totally gorged ourselves on some delicious food. More >
Christmas is near!! Yay!

I totally and completely suck at blogging during the month of December. So to make up for it, here is a really cute picture of Nathan in a Santa hat. Now don’t you feel better? Good. So besides me being a lousy blogger during the Christmas season, everything here is going pretty much as planned. More >
Thanksgiving deliciousness

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone… we are now getting back into the swing of things around here. Paul’s returned to work. Nathan is missing his daddy, but he is being remarkably well-behaved considering how often he’s been asking for Paul. Only three more weeks til Paul’s Christmas vacation! I can’t wait! So Thanksgiving was More >
Coloring fun
about 2 months ago - No comments
Nathan really likes to color. What’s really cute it watching him color in a coloring book or on one of those children’s menus that restaurants give kids… he tries so hard to color in the lines, but of course, he doesn’t have the motor skills to do that just yet. And he also really likes More >

Happy Thanksgiving! I am glad that he tried banana puddling and loved it. He seems to be really smiling for the camera. He knows he is the star of this blog.

Yeah, he really loves the camera! Maybe he’ll be an actor, earn millions of dollars, and take care of his Mama for the rest of her life
Wouldn’t that be nice!?

I swear, sometimes it seems like he’s posing on purpose… like he knows he’s cute and he’s showing off!

Cute, cute, cute! Poor Tankbaby…his Thanksgiving treat was cranberry applesauce, and the face he made, well, let’s just say it was the opposite of Nathan’s face in the video.

Oh how funny! One of the foods that Nathan just HATES is sweet peas. You should see the look he gives me once he realizes that’s what I intend for him to eat!
