Dear Nathan,
Happy Birthday sweetheart!!!! Today is your very first birthday. One year ago today I was holding you in my arms for the first time.
At one year, you weigh around 25 lbs and are 32 inches tall. This past month you have grown and changed so much! You are now taking steps! You can push up to standing without holding on to anything. Then you take about 8-10 steps before falling over. You walk back and forth between mommy and daddy and the furniture all the time. You are now eating so many more foods! You love bananas and Cheerios. You like macaroni and cheese and you love spaghetti! Mama is just feeding you whatever we have for dinner. You even like tacos! You hardly have baby food anymore. You are getting so big! You still babble to us all the time. You love to say mama and dada and walk towards us. Daddy loves coming home from work because you are so happy to see him. You giggle and race over to see him. You are sleeping a little better, but I still think that we have some improvement to make in that area! You love going for walks in our new carrier. You love just riding on mama's back and looking around. You seem so peaceful back there. You are still nursing all the time. We have been nursing for a year!! Such a huge milestone for mama and you. Your first birthday party is this Saturday! Lots of friends and family are coming. We are very excited! We are also getting family pictures taken on Sunday. Can't wait to get those!
And so big boy, you are 1!!! This past year has been the best of my life. We have such a special bond and I love waking up to your sweet face every morning. From 7lbs 11oz to 25 lbs, you have grown so much. Mama and daddy have grown too; We are much better people because you are in our lives. You are the center of my world sweet boy and I will love you for all the years of your life. But nothing can replace this first year.
Love Always,
Mama
Have a wonderful day everyone! Enjoy the time you spend with your families!
This is me....eating all your yummy cake because you are gone!! :) Love you so much! --PB
Nathan was technically a "punk rocker" this Halloween! We tried to go for a mohawk but Nathan got a tad cranky with all the hair stuff. Not to mention that it was super windy out and his hair wouldn't hold up. So we went with two ponytails instead. Punky bruster meets pirate meets punk rocker. :)
My favorite part of the outfit!
So cute!
He really hates having his picture taken! But here is the whole outfit.
Ready to go trick-or-treating! We used the hood of his car to hold the candy! The candy was more for Brandon and I, but Nathan had a lot of fun!
And we're off!
We went trick-or-treating with my brothers and my mom. They went as Pirate football players! Mom and I were dressed for the game that night.
Nathan and his car that my grandma bought him before she passed. He loves it!

Nathan, Elmo, and Grandma! He loves Elmo! And Grandma too!
He loved the cards for some reason. :)
Nathan and his car!
With Grandma again.
Hmmm...what's in here?!
My cutie pie.
The cakes that I made for the party. In case you can't tell, it was an Elmo theme.

This is fun!

He rarely crawls anymore. Always walking now!
Nathan and Aunt Kathryn

Blowing out his candle
Hmmmm...what is this?!

My nephew Zach. Trying to figure out how to open the egg!
My sweet little peanut neice, Rylee.
Nathan's Easter basket! We gave him an Elmo puppet and his own remote control. He loves Elmo!
See! Went straight for him!
Yum...Elmo! Poor Nathan has been teething up a storm! 2 more teeth came in this week!
Loves the puppet!
Such thought...
Hi there Elmo!
What a second....how come he isn't moving now?!
Had to take a break for breakfast! We have been nursing for 10 months!! Such a milestone!
