This counts!

This counts as my quarterly post, right?



Merry Christmas y'all

What We Have Been Doing in NC

So, have you been wondering if we are alive?  Well, we are!  Now for a series of photos to let you know that we are alive and doing stuff :)

 We have watched 101 Dalmatians ("dogs") about 101 times over the past 3 days.  We have also watched Toy Story 1 & 2 (Buzz), Monsters Inc ("roar"), and Cars ("vroom") about 101 times a piece!

We have bathed.

We look good (in Sean's shirt)

We played with Peanut Butter Play Dough!

We did laundry (about 101 times over the past 3 days)!

We loved each other (and generally look cute)!

We slept (some of us more than others)!

We ate dirt.

We played!

We laughed!

We got 2 teeth (some of us more than others)!

Oh how they grow!

Nate-isms

Since we are currently living in my mom's house Dan, Nate, Penny and I all stay in one large room.  Penny sleeps in her crib (usually) and the other three of us rotate between the queen bed and the twin bed.  One night Nate and Dan were in the queen and I was in the twin.  Nate woke up in the middle of the night screaming, "Mommy, Mommy"!  He reaches over and feels Dan's hairy arm and screams, "NOT YOU"!

Nate LOVES to swim.  He is learning to swim under water :)  He was swimming from me to the pool's stairs.  As soon as he would come up from under water he would take a breath and say "Ready" and then swim again.

Went swimming one day for a couple of hours.  Nate's eyes were hurting REALLY bad.  I was changing Nate's diaper on the floor while he screamed, cried, and rubbed his eyes.  Then he says...
"owie owie, I'm gonna die".  Seriously have no idea where he picked that one up from.

Nate hit Penny in the head.  Dan says to Nate, "Why did you hit Penny".  Nate says, "It wasn't me".  Dan, "It wasn't you? I just saw you."  Nate, "It was you"

Mommy, "Nate, what's your name?"
Nate, "me"

At the Dr. filling out Nate's paperwork.  Told Nate I was going to write his name on the paper.  Nate, "me"  (see a pattern?)

When we were moving Nate picked up a roll of boxing tape, pulled out a long piece of tape and looks around and says, "Baby!?"

When we were moving Nate goes into his room which we had just finished packing up (other than his bed).  Nate throws his hands up in the air and sighs, "OH MY!"

April/May

 

Cause that's what mommys do

Nate's night time tuck in goes something like this...
I give him a kiss
Give his favorite teddy bear (Thomas) a kiss
Make Thomas give Nate a kiss
Tuck the two of them into bed under Nate's new favorite blankie
Kiss Nate a couple of more times
Tell Nate I love him
Tell them both goodnight and leave




Last night was different...
Nate made me kiss him, Thomas, his puppy, his cow, him, and then... his paci. 


What a funny boy

Happy Birthday Mommy

This post is about 2 1/2 hours late but...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!

We love you and miss you dearly!

I know that I not be the woman that I am today without my mommy! I love her so much and appreciate all over the love, support, and patience she has shown me throughout my life! Happy birthday Mom!

some of my favs from the last few months

Nate learned how to eat whipped cream from a spray can... now he frequently ask for it.

Nate is giving his duck some water to drink.

We have switched over to cloth diapers... which has been an adventure in and of itself. You may see that Nate has green around his mouth, it is paint. He decided to eat the paint and not paint his caterpillar.


Penny smiles now :D

How we found Nate two nights ago.

Dan's sister Alma had baby #4, Kourtney Sue! Kourtney is 2 days old in this picture and Penny is 9 weeks. Kourtney weighed 10 lbs 4 oz at birth and Penny was 11 lbs at her 2 month appointment. They look very similar in size, except Kourtney has a newborn sized head!


Nate loves to help cook!

Like father like son

The left side is Daniel in 1985 at age 3... Nate is on the left (almost 2)... do you think they are related?
