life with a new baby
More fun outside
It doesn’t take much to keep Nathan happy outside. As you all know, he loves sitting on the porch, looking out over the rails, and crunching any rogue leaves in his hands. No matter what mood he’s in, taking him outside guarantees a few smiles!

These boots are made for hot wheels
about 21 hours ago - No comments
When I walked into Nathan’s room yesterday morning, I saw he had stuffed his boots full of his hot wheels. It’s so much easier to transport them from room to room when you have something to carry them in…
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
about 2 weeks ago - No comments
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 >
New milestones!
about 1 month ago - No comments
Nathan has suddenly started talking in sentences. It started a week or so ago – after a two-month-long episode of Nathan being an complete and total pill. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a super sweet, loving little boy. But when he’s about to hit a major milestone, his behavior goes down the crapper. The past More >
Trains don’t go through a car wash, ya know…
about 2 months ago - No comments
Nathan and I were playing with his trains on his train tracks. One of the extras that came with his train set is a little “car wash” you can run the trains through. See, a few times a month, I’ll take Nathan with me to an actual car wash to vacuum out my car, and More >
Rise and shine!

Nathan is more of a morning person, very much like his daddy. Paul practically jumps out of bed in the mornings, jumping for joy and whistling. Yes, you read that correctly. He whistles in the morning. I, on the other hand, have to will myself to sit up and slowly crawl out of bed. I’ve never More >
Time to build

Nathan’s train track setup. He did this all by himself with no help from me or Paul. Not too bad for a two-year-old, huh?
The almost-forgotten summer pictures
about 3 months ago - No comments
Paul, Nathan, and I all went to the lake the celebrate Paul’s grandmother’s birthday with other family members. Back in July. Yeah, that’s right. It was a few months ago, and I just realized I never posted the pictures I took! That, my friends, is Mommy Brain at its best. Better late than never, right? More >
A waterfall above our house
about 3 months ago - No comments
The other day, it was pouring rain as Nathan and I were about to leave the house. As we stepped outside on to the porch, he took a look around at the downpour and exclaimed, “WATERFALL!!!” Of course, I couldn’t help but giggle as I imagined us living in a house floating at the base More >
