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!

Nathan's 1st Birthday Party!

We had Nathan's 1st birthday party at the Roselle Park District Saturday, 3/31/07! There was about 60 people between family and friends! Nathan had a great time and was great little boy!
Nathan's great tasting birthday cake!

An old Polish tradition!

Will he pick the rosary, money, or shot glass?

Uh Oh the rosary and shot glass!


Were in trouble, he picked the shot glass!


Singing Happy Birthday to Nathan made me cry and I really was trying to hold it back!

I hid it well! I'm very emotional and I think back to a year ago the day he was born and it brings tears of joy in my eyes! What a beautiful year it has been!


Look at this cheescake face!


Cousin Alex looks like he wants some cake!
Yummy!

Thats why they call it a smash cake!
I think he is waiting for cousin Jackie or cousin Katie to pick the cake up!
Boys sure do love to throw everything on the floor!

Auntie Mary saved the day and picked my cake up!

Uh Oh I think I'm getting full!

Would you like some cake?!

I need a bath!

This is one of our bestfriend's Dan!
He saved the day and taped Nathan's 1st Birthday Party!
