Happy Halloween!

I don't think we're going to take Nate out trick or treating tonight... though he's on solid normal food now, I don't think he's ready for candy yet! :) Here are a bunch of pictures from when I dropped him off this morning at daycare. Evidently the bigger kids will parade through the classroom this afternoon to show off their costums! :)

Nate and John looking at each other- "man, what are you wearing?"

The daycare crew in the morning... lots of orange going on here- Nate is playing with Grace's foot- I think he likes the pumpkin on it....

Ah, the boys.... if you press on the vampire on Nate's costume, it makes an evil laugh...MWAH HAHAHAHAHA
Nate- "Come'on John- lets go play over here"

Ham it up for the camera!

Here's Nate with the hood up....

11 Months old!

Hi all- I just wanted to post some pictures on here from this weekend and today. Nate got to play with John on Sunday - they had a blast! Its neat to see how well he plays with John, I guess if you think about it, they've known each other all their lives!! :)

Nate's the one with the perpetual bib on... no we didn't dress them alike on purpose!! HAHA

They fall over each other all the time, and use each other to stand (well, John uses Nate to stand up....).

Nate pulling out the frying pans.... NOT light!

And he's so proud of it! (Nate's 11 months old today- where has the time gone?)

He's taking more steps now, and eating solid food. He wants to eat everything we eat now! We'll keep you posted!

Cautious exploring

Nate is finally back to himself- and we had a great weekend! Check out some of the pictures to see what he's been up to!

Nate likes to climb in things now....

We went to Way Fruit Farm for their fall festival/pumpkin picking event.....

"I can move these, I know I can...."

Nope, too much going on.... not going to look at the camera

He stood up on the bench by himself- I couldn't quite capture how excited he was... but he was having a blast!

Dad showed him how to climb in here....and that's all he wants to do!

A little bit more of a challenge- climbing into here when there are legos in it.....

No problem!

Mischievous little guy

So, don't blink! You may not know what the little guy is up to! These were taken at the end of last week. This week, he's been under the weather, but I think he's pulling through!

He up ended this table himself...and loves crawling over it!

Before you can learn your letters, you have to know how they TASTE!

Hmmmm.....I wonder if the number 9 tastes different than the letter "x".

Hmmmm, which DVD will I pick?

I think I'll watch this one- its tastes just right (What do you think Grammie? Did I choose the right one??? :))

Then and now

I don't have much to write today- its been a busy week. I've been attending a conference at the Nittany Lion Inn all week, so even though I've been home, I really haven't been home....

I just wanted to post some growth pictures of Nate... note- its the same box!


(May 2007)

(Oct 2007)

Isn't it crazy how fast kids grow???!!!???

I'll have some more pictures up here this weekend. He's getting adventurous..... :)

October 1!!!

Ok, I love fall. I love the month October. I just had to write that! Here are a few pictures from our recent quick trip to Lancaster this weekend.





Heh- Grandad looks great, Nate's not paying attention.....


Heh, Nate is rooting for something, and Grandad is trying to look around me to see the TV...heh
Nate's Mom looking like a total goof at Val's baby shower. Caleb (Val and Jason's little guy) should be arriving after Christmas (if not before! :))

Grandma let Nate touch the ice cream.....and then we ate it....

You know, I couldn't resist.... look Penn State- my 10 month old SON can show you how to hold the BALL!!!!!

We hope to get to a fall festival with Nate so we can get the cute pumpkin pictures....For now its in the mid- 70's....not entirely fall type weather.

OH! And Nate's top tooth on the left came through, I think this week will be tough as the right one is starting to come out. We'll keep you posted!!
