Nathan's First Egg Hunt

This year Nathan went to his first egg hunt at Murray Park. We had a blast and were so proud of Nathan and his one egg. Ready for the hunt.

Nathan showing Mom his one egg. There were so many kids there that we were so grateful he got one. The whole field was covered with eggs and once they yelled go I think every egg was picked up within 30 seconds. Luckily there was an egg right in front of where we were standing so we hurried over and Nathan snatched it up. Nathan could have cared less and loved his one egg. It was great. Next year Nathan will be able to run a little faster. (:

So fascinated by his plastic egg.


What a fun first.

Our Little Walker

Within the last month Nathan has improved his walking skills tremendously. We are so proud of him and it is so fun to watch. When he was first learning he would always hold his hands above his head. It was pretty funny but now he has figured out how to use them for balance. He usually has a big smile on his face which of course puts a even bigger smile on ours.

Bathroom Reconsturction

We have been working on our master bathroom on and off for quite awhile. Ryan started working on it again last week and it was really the first time Nathan had ever seen it because the door is always shut. Nathan was amazed at this new discovery and he loved helping Ryan. We even got out his tool box and he played with Daddy all afternoon. Like Father like Son. Now if we can just teach Nathan how to tile. (:

Safety First!

After Nathan saw Dad wearing these he wanted to give them a try. It is a good look for him.

Cookie Monster!!

Nathan's new favorite treat is cookies and milk! I was having some one day and he wanted a cookie so I gave him one and he went right ahead and dunked it in the milk. It was awesome. So now we enjoy cookies and milk together. He makes a huge mess but we have so much fun.

We have had a really hard couple of weeks so it was great to see him smile. Right after Ryan's birthday Nathan got sick with a cold which then turned to croup. After we got the croup cleared up he had a cold for about a week and then started the beginning of last week with an ear infection. It was his first and hopefully his last. We have been to the doctor three times in 10 days. Poor little guy was so miserable. We are on the mend now and he is back to his happy self.

That is how I feel about cookies and milk too! Oreo's are our favorite!! We even had the spring time addition with yellow frosting. Yum!

Hippity Hoppity Easter is on its way!!

I was putting up Easter decorations and Nathan loved these Peep sunglasses. I think they are quite stylish. He also experienced a plastic egg for the first time. He was fascinated by it, especially when it came apart. Imagine how exciting it will be when there is something in it. That is what I love about Nathan, he finds joy in the simplest things like a 10 cent plastic egg. We should all try to be more like kids!

We have a walker!

Nathan has finally taken his first steps. It happened last week just under his 15 month doctor appointment. It is so exciting. He is still a little wobbly but he is getting brave and will take off walking all by himself. I will post a video when I get a short one.

Spaghetti Anyone?

Nathan's favorite meal is spaghetti. He loves it and I think he enjoys the mess too. I think he just likes the taste of the sauce because he will eat anything with tomato sauce pizza, lasagna, calzones...... I always wonder if he is going to permanently dye his face red.

Where Have We Been?

It has been a looooong time since I have posted and good friends are starting to worry. We are doing just fine. I have just been slacking on my blog time. I have been spending all of my extra time trying to catch up on scrapbooking. It has been fun but I have a long way to go so I will try to be better on keeping our blog up to date.
Here are some things that have happened while I was in scrapbook mode:

Nathan is really working at walking. He really is not into it that much, he would prefer to just crawl because it is easier for him. He will walk holding our hands or pushing something but when he really wants to get somewhere he will just crawl. We will keep working on it.

Christmas was great. (That seems like so long ago) Nathan of course had a great Christmas with some new fun toys which is great because I needed some new ones to play with too.

I had my 26th b-day in January which was fabulous. Ryan got me the Utah Mama handbook which is awesome and Nathan got me some beautiful flowers. Ryan's b-day is coming up in March and he will be the big 30!!!

Nathan had his first haircut which was not his favorite thing to do. My friend Molly cut it who he really likes but that still didn't help. There were a few tears but in the end all was forgiven and he even gave her a hug. I have since cut his hair again. Just a little trim and it wasn't as bad for Nathan this time around.

Nathan also went to the dentist for the first time in January. He did great and I really liked who we went to. He is a pediatric dentist with a very kid friendly office. If you need a dentist let me know.

Well I think that is all the major stuff other than we are all getting spring fever!! (: More to come later.
