29 Weeks

How could we resist taking a picture with the horsey?!

29 weeks already!  Zach is moving all the time and keeping us on our toes!
[Nathan, of course, couldn't let me do a picture on my own.]

When I went for the ultrasound last week, Zach was measuring at 2 pounds 11 ounces which is the 44th percentile.  I really don't know how accurate this is as there are so many factors to really determine his actual weight.  He looked good and my good friend Mary Rayburn was excited to see him.  Despite having to do have more ultrasounds, it is kind of fun to include different people in the experience. :)  We did work on preparing for Zach, but it's going to have to hold on for a couple weeks as we do the final prep for the yard sale.  Too much fun! :) (not)

Mowing with Daddy

Nathan has been getting better about not being so scared by the mower and look what he did:

Granted, it was just a couple strips down the yard, but he did it! :)  What a brave boy!  Our neighbor said that we were training him young.  I don't think so!  He's got a long way to go.

Fire Truck Fun

Nathan's class got to see a real fire engine! They had been talking about fire safety this week at daycare and then got to see a truck up close and personal!

All Nathan would talk about was his friend Sammy.  She's the little girl standing next to him with the black top with the puppy on it.  He would keep saying, "Sammy my friend".  She's just 2 days younger than him and has been in his class since the beginning.

First Blooms

We had to get a picture with the first blooms of the irises!  This has been a standard since Nathan could hardly stand on his own! :)

Today

Evidently they bloomed a little bit earlier this year, and it was cooler than in 2013!

May 1, 2013

He was so tiny! :)

Happy Birthday!

It's Daddy's birthday!  I think Nathan was more excited than Barry, but we tried to make it be a special day.  We made breakfast burritos and chocolate chip cookies to share at work.  Then we're planning on going to a local Italian restaurant for dinner.

Happy Birthday!!!

Play-do Fun

Nathan got play-do from his cousins for Easter and has enjoyed playing with it a couple times.  He pulled it out again last night and was making lots of snakes with Daddy!

Emotions ran high this weekend as he fell and scratched up the knuckle on his thumb.  Every time he'd look down at it, he'd cry.  We convinced him finally to have a band-aid (it's so cute to hear him say it!) and he's worn one for periods of time trying to help it heal.  He seemed to be good about it this morning and then jammed his other hand when sitting down at the table.  Ah, the life of a 3 year old!  (There's lots of tears at the Stevens!)

Cat & Dog

You may not be able to tell exactly what these guys are, but it's a stuffed cat (orange) and a stuffed dog.  When we came home last night our neighbor had left a toy for Nathan and the doggy was sitting on top of it.  He then had proceeded to carry these around all night and into the morning.  It's amazing what catches his attention. :)
