Nathan standing on his chair toy! He goes up and down on this little chair at least 20 times a day! It made me worry and crazy at first, but know I'm used to it! Every time he stands up there he has one great big smile on his face the whole time! He loves the music this little chair makes too! He is a crazy active little boy! How someone so small can do the things he does is beyond me! He surprises us every day!

Here is all five of our kitties Lacy, Cally, Mojo, Angel, & Sebastion! Lacy is the Mommy and had her babies almost 6 years ago! We gave one away and kept the rest. Sebastion is the only boy and black like Lacy. Cally is calico, Mojo is gray, and Angel is white with gray on her and also the runt. She is a little goofy and funny at times. When Bonzo barks so does Angel! Its amazing that they all have different personality's! These kitties rock and we would take a pregnant cat allover again. The experience is so wonderful and defiantly rewarding!

Cally is the most beautifully colored!

Lacy is usually sprawled out sleeping or rolling around unless her babies are sleeping with her!

Sebastion is always sprawled out somewhere!

Easter Day!

We go to Gram Pat & Papa Ray's house for Easter every year! Uncle Keith, Auntie Mary, Uncle Stephen, Auntie Tiffany, Kyle, and Amanda all go too!Papa Ray hides eggs with candy and cash stuffed in them and Kyle, Amanda, Nathan find them! It is a lot of fun!

I think I can get it! Higher Mommy!

Nathan's 1st Birthday!

Wow we can't believe a year has gone by already! Watching Nathan grow and all the memories and first smiles, laughs, sitting up, crawling, walking, etc..... have been absolutely amazing! Hearing his little feet on the floor pitter patter just melts our hearts! Nathan is fun, loving, and very active! He never stops walking around! He is pretty good at listening too! When we say "no" he listens most of the time! I keep all my picture frames, candles, and other decorations on my tables and he does not touch them! It took about 2 weeks of saying "no" for him to completely stop touching them! This way when we go to other peoples houses he understands! He still only has 2 teeth so I have to be careful what I feed him because otherwise he lets the chunks sit in his mouth and he chokes. So he eats our food all mashed up, he loves soup, Gerber foods, and vitamin D milk and cereal in the morning and sometimes at night! I'm having a problem with giving him his milk in a sippy cup so he gets a bottle every morning! He eats about 3 to 4 times a day now! He snacks on cereal, Gerber snacks, Cheerios and loves juice in his sippy cup! He falls asleep about 8pm-9pm and wakes up about 9am-10am! Sometimes I have to wake him to leave when we have somewhere to be! Nathan is such a blessing and we love him so much!

On Nathan's birthday I wanted to do something special with him! Gram Pat, Auntie Mary, Cousin Kyle, Cousin Amanda, Nathan, & I went to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago! Unfortunately Dave was not able to go.We did have a great time though and Nathan fell asleep twice while we were there!

I wonder what he is thinking!

Wow, he is in total concentration!

Nathan loves bubbles!

Here is our only boy kitty, Sebastian!

These are 4 of the 5 kitties we have! Its treat time!

Nathan riding his new Little People fire engine! He loves this toy and loves the sounds it makes! He dances and shakes his little butt!

Nathan and his first set of golf clubs! He loves carrying a club around with him!

He loves to eat them too!

I took the tags off his new clothes and put them in the laundry basket and here he is dumping them out! And I wonder why I get nothing done all day!

This is more like it! If only I could get him to push it to the laundry room!

Nathan in his new Speedo outfit! Isn't it cute!

We can't wait until summer and swimming!

No you can't have my balloons Daddy!

This kid is obsessed with balloons!

All tangled up!
