Birthday Trike

Our little guy is THREE!  He was convinced it wasn't his birthday and so we decided that the most effective way to help him understand was to open his presents right off in the morning.  He associated presents with birthday (he kept calling it birthday at Christmas!).

Here's some test runs... Sorry it's dark... Since I wasn't using a flash to take the movie, it was relying on the light in the room.

Just as I hit the button to stop recording, he looked up and saw the birthday sign and said, "Happy Birthday to me?!" Wish I would have caught it!

Two for Tuesday

Nathan has been really enjoying coloring and drawing.  I made some cards for some friends and Nathan wrote his name in them.

One year ago... Cutey Pie! :)

Penguin Hat

In the midst of looking for items in the garage, we found some winter items for Nathan. 

Here's the first item - a penguin hat! :)

"I want to press the button, Momma!"

Uses for a Box

We were doing some sorting in the garage on Saturday and brought in a few things to check out.  An empty box was hanging around and Nathan found some great uses to use it.

1. Play cars in it.
2. Color pictures on int (like a table).

3.  Ride it like a horsey
4.  Eat a meal off it.
5.  Sit in it.
What can you think of?!

Backwards Day

Mrs. Melanie likes to plan fun days for the kids to do in the class and this time it was Backwards Day.  We didn't go too crazy, though.  Nathan just wore his shirt backwards -- no backwards pants, shoes or diaper!  

Fun times!  Horsey even got in on the fun! :)

16 Weeks

I am just shy of one week away from visiting the doctor again and hopefully getting to hear the baby's heartbeat.  The baby has been moving pretty much every day and I've gotten to the point that it's more comfortable to wear maternity clothes rather than struggling with my regular pants.  I can't say that I've gained any weight back (I lost 10 pounds during the first trimester), but in the long run, that may be better anyway.  We think that we've settled on names and look forward to the ultrasound the end of February.

Laughter

I wished that I could have captured the entire session of laughter as it lasted quite a while, but I did get a few seconds of it.  The boys went from wrestling to messing around.  It was a fun time!
