life with a new baby
Happy Labor Day!
I hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday! We certainly are… we’ve spent the whole weekend hanging out as a family, watching movies, and eating Paul’s delicious grilled chicken and steaks. We took Nathan to a park yesterday, but the little guy wasn’t interested in playing on any of the equipment. He was completely satisfied marching around, though, and playing with the wood chips. I’m looking forward to when he actually starts to play on the slides! So again, happy Labor Day to you all and if you have the day off, enjoy the hell outta it!

These boots are made for hot wheels

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

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 >
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 >
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 >

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 >
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 >
