Doggie Time

We had the pleasure of dog sitting for our friends last weekend. Nathaniel had a blast! His big thing waas trying to get him to "sit" and when the dog finally complied Nathaniel wanted him "up". Hard to please a 1 yr old! Poor Bronte was probably glad to go back home... although his family has two kids (4 & 2 yrs) that like to chase him around the house :-)

Tumbling

Nathaniel did a somersault all on his own last weekend! No one else was doing it. He just felt like doing one I guess (probably all that sugar from Halloween?) Our classes are over for now, but it seems that he picked up a few skills and it might be worth signing him up for it again.

SuperBaby!

We started the SuperBaby game with Nathaniel... well now it's more exciting to "fly" over your brother.

Wrestling with Daddy

Nathaniel has gotten into this new game of "push" where he pushes us and we dramatically fall over. He then helps us up and "pushes" us again. Its really cute. I hope we are not teaching him bad habits!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Pumpkin Patch Animals

Nathaniel spent quite a bit of time "talking" to the goats" Baaaa! Baaa! Baaa!

Pumpkin Patch

Which one do I choose?


Little Buddies


Most Memorable thing about the patch for Nathaniel


Friends to share the sunny day with

Tomatoes from the garden

While I was nursing Logan I let Nathaniel play outside. Apparently the garden was a fun place to be... I love the sour face he made after he bit into a green tomato.

Peanut Butter

The other day Nathaniel went into the pantry and grabbed the jar of Peanut Butter and brought it over to me. Then he said "poon?" Yes he wanted a scoop of Peanut Butter for a snack... just what Ken used to eat for dinner before we got married. Is he his father's son or what?

I gave him a small container of Peanut Butter and a glass of milk. He sat in his "snack spot" in the kitchen and went to town. Make a note... don't do this activity if you are going out later in the day. It's nice to have him occupied for a good 15 minutes, but it will require a bath once he is finished.

Neverending fun at Oma and Papa's

Zoo trip

We got together with a good friend (who has twins!) and went to the zoo last week. We had a lot of fun trying to keep track of 4 kids total. What a handful...lots of fun though.

Quack Quack

When I told Nathaniel we were going to go to the park to feed the ducks he immediately grabbed the bag of old bread and stood at the garage door. He was SO excited! We met our friends there and started to feed the ducks, but them some 8 yr old boys came by and shooed them away :-( We took a lap around the pond and came back to finish making friends with the ducks. It was a fun afternoon.





And what would a day in the park be without icecream? For mom of course, but Nate had fun with the spoon and the last drops of my Midnight Madness blizzard :-)


Oh the play structure was fun too.

The Little People Park

The weather has been so nice this week, we've been able to discover a few parks with our friends.
