Bye bye old friend




We are saying goodbye to an old friend this month. Nathan only used his "nookie" for naptime and bedtime and emergencies ( like shot time at the doctor visit) but he grew quite attached to it. His eye's would lite up with excitement at bedtime in anticipation for his lil friend. Unfortunately his pal had an "accident" and lost a fight with a pair of scissors. Luckily the transition has been pretty smooth, but a lil puzzling to him as he wanders around with his "broken" nookie.

Uh Oh!



We put Nathan down for his nap but he had different plans. Since our lil "monkey" boy can climb anything now, it probably wasn't a good idea to leave the powder on top of the changing table. He soon had powder all over the floor and was having a ball!
You can also see he has his nite lite cover (the blue star) in his hand...another "no-no".
Oh, well, at least we all had fun vacuuming up the mess!

Nutrition?


At first glance, it appears that Nathan is enjoying a nutritious salad. Unfortunately he scoffs at the lettuce and is just devouring the croutons. He's just a lil dairy guy from Wisconsin.

Beds are so overrated

Well, for some reason the floor seems to suit him just fine. The gate is to keep him from coming out of the room, turning on the tv's and playing with his toys. It comes down before morning so he can wake me up, but he's been sleeping in so late that I have to set my alarm.

Big Boy Bed

Here's Nathan sleeping on his new bed after we converted it from the crib, the first nite. He was really trying to climb out of the crib and we couldn't risk another nite of him in it.

Rocks


Nathan's busy grabbing rocks and throwing them in the water. Soon after this he decided to run into the water and got all wet. I'm glad I had my shoes off because I got a little wet going after him...and he was right next to me! Just takes 1 second for him to bolt like a bat outta hell!

The plane, the plane



An airplane is flying overhead and circling around. That's the only thing that will grab his attention away from the sand and rocks. A couple people did pull up in their kayaks and Nathan barely gave them a glance.

Sand


It was such a beautiful day today. After naptime, Nathan and I headed over to the lake to enjoy the cool breeze. As you can see he really likes playing in the sand.

A career in rocks?

Nathan's handing me a bunch of rocks he picked up at the zoo. He sure does love rocks!

Can't stand still



I was trying to get a picture of Nathan with his Daddy by a pretty waterfall but he had other plans....RUN...RUN...RUN...

Petting Zoo Not











Our little town has a zoo. We decided to check out the Red Barn which we thought was a petting zoo but found out you can look but not touch...the story of Nathan's life it seems!



Busy Sunday

Before heading to the park, Nathan decided to make his own fun by pulling everything off my bed and piling it high so he can jump onto it. He discovered this last nite and I fear he'll be doing this for awhile. I better make sure there's a ton of pillows on hand to catch his fall.

Trial & Error


Well, I thought I'd give this a try. Might as well go with the times and start a blog while Nathan is asleep.

Otherwise he'd be right here attacking the keyboard and teaching me all kinds of new settings for my computer.
