Last Christmas Gift?

I know, I know.  We should have been better prepared for Christmas, seeing as this was the first one that we would have with Nathan.  But, things were tight and we just weren't sure how we'd accomplish this. 

Saturday we were looking at the toy section in Wal-Mart just to see if they'd re-stocked from Christmas and  look what we found!  God provided the toy that we'd been looking for (to help Nathan as he transitions from scooting to walking) regularly $28 for $9!  WOW!

He's so excited!

 Look at all the fun stuff on it!

 "You mean I can push it too?!"

Too fun!

We look forward to lots of fun with this little cart/riding toy.  Pretty neat how God does that for us, huh?!

11 Months Old

Here's the big boy!  He's wearing an outfit he got for Christmas and just doing so great!

It's hard to believe how much he's grown in the last month.  Hopefully we'll get the turtle picture posted soon!

Here's a video showing Nathan scooting across the kitchen floor.  He's got my shoe with him.  (Sorry you have to crane your neck to see it!)

Messy Little Boy

Oh yeah!  Little Bit was enjoying his meal a little too much! :)

He's been steadily increasing the foods that he eats, but we haven't had too much variety.  I'm hoping to get a few things over the weekend for him to try.

[BTW, Blogger has been finicky with letting me post pictures so there will be a bunch of posts coming!]

Laughing (It's contagious!)

I don't know what got Barry to start making this sound, but Nathan just laughed and laughed.  Hope it brightens your Friday!

Two for Thursday?!

 Bizarrest thing... I knew my mom had given us some bigger clothes for Little Bit and I was looking for something warm.  I had put on a long sleeves onsey and had his pants on.  I went to put the hoody on and noticed the size.  It was 18 months!  How did that happen?  His pants are 9 months!  It really didn't look big on him either.  I was trying to get a picture to show the cute animals on the front, but he wouldn't cooperate.  Maybe the next time!

"I got you, Daddy!"

Michigan Baby

 We had to get a picture of Papa and Nathan to represent the bowl game on Tuesday.  Unfortunately, South Carolina won.  We are excited that Little Bit is big enough to wear this shirt now! :)

 Hamming it up for the camera...

"Momma, my shoe is much more exciting than taking a picture."  

I wanted to get a good picture of him in his shirt, but he just wouldn't cooperate (the camera has lost its appeal!).  He had a good visit with Nana & Papa, but I think he's coming down with a cold again.  Hopefully it won't be bad.

Happy New Year!

*Two for Tuesday*

Here our little family was on January 1, 2012!  Scooter was a big part of my life, but I had no idea what changes would be in our lives once he was born.  I could still do mostly whatever I wanted and didn't have to think about taking care of this little one - just the aches and pains I was experiencing.

Here we are today - January 1, 2013!  We're excited to be ready for the Michigan vs. South Carolina bowl game and have a big bundle of joy.  Thankfully we're sleeping through the night now, but are entering the mobile stage.  Nathan is able to get around and get into stuff now and wants to eat what we eat.  He's what I think about most of the day and wonder how he's doing at daycare.  Very rarely can I do something without considering how it'll affect him.

God has truly blessed us, don't you think?!
