11 Months

Sweet Nathan,

Man what a handful you have become!  You are into everything, everywhere, all the time and quicker than I can keep up with.  You are the stinker!  You love the fireplace, the media cabinet, under the sink cabinet, and your new favorite-the toilet!  You have enough toys to keep you busy all day but you would rather play with anything else.

You just got over ear infection #8 and you are scheduled for tubes in your ears on Tuesday.  Finally, maybe you will eat.  At 22 pounds, I don't think you are starving but lately you have been spitting out anything I feed you besides Puffs!  You sleep through the night most of the time but I think your ears just keep you from sleeping soundly.

We are still waiting for more teeth, you still only have 2 on the bottom and that is it.  You have been super fussy the past few weeks and I keep thinking that new teeth are coming in any day but still no sign.

You have been waving bye bye for quite a few months now.  You love to babble and say da- da for everything.  You definitely have an attitude when it comes to getting what you want, especially went it comes to your sister.  You want what she has no matter what it is and will let everyone know if you are not happy.

I love your sweet spirit-you are a lot like your sister in that way.  I love coming into your room in the morning and after nap time to see your smiling face greet me.  You giggle when you see me come in the room and squeal with happiness.  I still rock you when I can but you prefer daddy to do that.  No one can put you to sleep like he can.

You still are a little scared to walk.  You are ready physically but as soon as you realize you are standing alone, you sit down and crawl-very fast too!  I guess you realize you can get there quicker that way right now.


The ladies at BSF just adore you.  I didn't take you this week because it was so cold and you had just gotten over a cold.  The ladies were so sad!  You are just a joy to be around all the time.  I love you baby boy and cannot believe you will be 1 in just a few weeks!

Hey girl...
Just checking in on your blog. I can't believe your little man is almost a year old and we still haven't met him! :) How's life in the country??? Did you get rid of your facebook? I wasn't sure.

Y'all get to Lview much? We don't...every so often.

Anyhoo, hope all is well with you and yours! :)

Love Michelle

Tonight I tucked in my sweet 2 year old son for the last time. Tomorrow he will be 3.  My second born, my baby for a while.  For the first time ever, he asked me to lay beside him as he went to sleep tonight.  I had a million other things on my mind and dirty dishes from supper calling my name.  I took him up on his offer and my heart was blessed indeed.  I laid there and thought about how my first born wanted me to lay beside her every night, I had to often tell her no because I knew it would just prolong her going to sleep.  It's sad really that your first child gets way more attention than the second.  It's true. No longer is it just one on one, now I am outnumbered and have to find a way to give more of myself. Now add #3 and it's just a circus. Nathan is my sweet loving little boy. Full of life and curiosity.  Looking for the next opportunity to do something he's not supposed to.  In one minute he can destroy a room and melt my heart....

Garland Party

The Nesting Place is hosting this great party with lots of really cool garland ideas, I LOVE this site. Since we are going to be in Florida for Christmas this year, and our townhouse is too small for our tree, I decided to have fun with this garland idea . I took two strands of lighted garland that I bought 2 years ago from an after Christmas sale at Michaels and twisted them together. Then I headed over to Hobby Lobby where they had all of their floral stems on sale for 50% off. I also added some things from around the house that I had. This was the only place I could find to put the garland so excuse the big fat TV in view. However, my sweet hubby did build me a mantle over the weekend and it should be up and functional in a few days. I'll repost my new and improved garland complete with my mantel tomorrow. Anyway, enjoy and check out Nesting Place for more fun!
