Easter, building, new shoes, mike visit, home show, wagon ride, steppin up

Whew- its been a busy couple of weeks. Easter was a bust, both Mike and Nate were pretty much under the weather, so we really didn't do a whole lot that weekend... and then of course I started getting sick on Monday, which kind of escaladed into an asthmatic bronchitis attack. Yay. So I'm pretty much taking it easy this weekend, though it doesn't look like it. We had a really fun weekend! These are kind of out of order.... but check out the web album as well, I think I uploaded about 70 pictures.....

ATV at the Home show at the Bryce Jordan Center!

Steppin' up to the sink to get a drink of water! And he washed his hands at the sink after lunch!

This one is for Nana and Pa! Go Red Soxs!

This one is for GG- we got the wagon out today- though it wasn't quite 50 we couldn't sit inside forever!

Easter morning- look what the Easter Bunny brought!

Stacking blocks! I think he got 9 high before it fell over- he was working on this for quite a while...it fell down a few times, but he kept at it! There's more pictures of these on the web album below....

New shoes to the right, old shoe to the left! Just a little bit bigger!

Mike Schellhase was up in State College for a class and stopped by for a visit on Friday evening!

The last couple of weeks

Just because

Here are a few pictures from when Grammie was visiting last week while I was at a conference in Baltimore.....

He did this himself, really.... doesn't seem really bothered by it....

He's learning how to climb.....

Hmmmm.... what's for lunch?

A fire engine came to visit at school!
This is one of Mike's old toys- a 3 foot long fire engine!!! Nate was VERY excited! :)
Throwing things phase.....


He kept Grammie VERY busy......

Playing with Papa......

Official 15 month stats

Hi All- No pictures today. I just wanted to update you on Nate's 15 month well visit to the doc's. He's 34in (well above the 95th percentile for height) and 25lbs7oz- he's fallen to the 75th percentile for weight, and is staying in the 25th-50th percentile for head circumference. Everything else is fine. Only one shot this time- whew!

What were you doing at 12:20am?

Not sleeping evidently! (No, he didn't get out of his crib on his own....but once he was out, he hit the ground running.....) We were up with him from 12:20am-1:40am..... he wasn't crying or anything, which was a blessing...but mom and dad just need some sleep! We asked him at one point "Nate, are you tired?" and he shook his head "yes" - "Do you want to go to sleep?" And he shook his head "No"! It begins.....Also, his room didn't start out like this...he proceeded to completely wreck the place....sigh....

12:20am wake up call.....

Enjoy! Click on the picture above to see more pictures!

And we'll try to upload a video....

Spoke too soon....

Sorry that I haven't posted here in a bit... so after Nate got better, I came down with a version of what he had. It was horrible, the worst type of cold ever- caused by a nasty virus that causes hand, foot and mouth disease in kids.... it took me a good 14 days to get over it, and I'm still not 100%. Nate had a great couple of weeks, until this weekend. He started with a low grade fever yesterday and was just miserable by the afternoon....rough night and then again, he was pretty miserable... maybe teeth? Who knows... all I know is that Mike and I didn't have a very relaxing weekend. Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks! Enjoy!

Ok, I'm having a lot of issues posting photos on here at the moment... so hopefully I'll have better luck posting them on the photo website

Whew- spoke too soon
