What we have been up to

Every day is a new adventure with a little one.  New accomplishments and sweet everyday moments.  Right now Nathan loves it when we read him books!

He is also big enough to sit all the way up in his little bathtub attachment.  Another thing he has grasped (pun intended) lately is picking up little puffs and putting them in his mouth.  He loves chewing them with his teeth (he has 7 now!) and gumming them too.

Now that Nathan has the run of the place, we thought it would be a great idea to get the carpets clean. It did not feel like a good idea while we were doing it because carpet cleaning is basically moving, and it is really hard to get all of the furniture and stuff on the non-carpeted areas and still entertain a baby in that space! 

While we waited for the carpet cleaners to arrive, Nathan and I played on the empty expanse of carpet.  He has been doing this really cute scrunching-up-his-face-while-breathing-in-and-out-real-fast thing lately, and I was able to capture a pretty good picture and video of the cuteness.

As you can see from the video, he is scooting pretty well and loves just kicking his legs in excitement.  Another thing that he still loves doing is swinging in the swings at the playground.  You can definitely see how excited he is!

Our weather has been a little up and down.  On a relatively warm day, I convinced Jesse to make it matchy Hawaiian shirt day!

And the next week it snowed a few inches!  We took Nathan out and he wasn't really sure about the whole thing.

He was like, it's cold you guys!

Mainly he just laid there.  I tried to encourage him to make snow angles by doing jumping jacks. That just amused him.

So then I moved his arms for him to make little wings.  He looked up at Jesse and gave him a "mom's funny" look!  So true.
