Happy Halloween!

We're all enjoying Halloween together. Nathan loves the pumpkins. More than that, he loves his tongue!!! It's sticking out all the time now. No crawling, but lots of movement. He rolls like a champ, scoots backwards, and rocks back and forth on all fours. Only a matter of time now before it'll be a race to keep him out of trouble. Perhaps he'll lose some of his baby chub when he's more mobile. Right now he's quite pleasingly plump as you can see. (Was it mean to take a picture while he was backed into a corner? I couldn't resist...)

Special visitors

We've been lucky to have several special visits this fall and we're behind in sharing the photos. My college roommate, Kelly, and her husband, Craig, spent a day with us back in September. It was great to reconnect and catch up. As usual, Nathan enjoyed being the center of attention!

In early October, Nathan's cousins Jasper and Suzy came for a visit with Julie and Tim. We had a great time with the kids. Suzy gave Nathan ideas about getting around- she really is on the go. (Nathan is not, but getting closer every day.) Jasper showed both babies what big kids can do- he is really quite capable and a wonderful, playful big brother and cousin.

One year blogiversary

I was writing the date on something and remembered (because I'm insanely nostalgic) that one year ago today we went in for our "big" ultrasound and learned that Nathan was healthy and a little boy. We started the blog and in some ways, our journey with him. The time flies. Every day it seems that Nathan is doing something new from playing with his tongue to asserting his personhood at the dinner table. Life is good. (Yes, we let our baby play with balloons... But hey, he loved it and we were watching the whole time.)
