It's been a while...

Hello Friends and Family, I am sorry I have been AWOL- after all the planning and preparation for Nathan's first birthday, I got a little burned out... I would like to start fresh with Nathan's website, so I am creating a new blog: http://nathanieljsworld.blogspot.com - please visit this site for updated info on our little boy as we travel to the world of a one-year-old... be afraid, be VERY afraid!

Look, Mommy! No hands!

Check 'em out, everyone! My two pearly whites, and another one on the way!

What a cutie...

What was that, Mom? I get TWO birthday parties?!? Woohoo!

I never want to forget...

Your wide, toothless smile. Your first Christmas present. Our quiet Saturdays on the couch. How you kick off all your blankets just like I did when I was little. Your 'kitty-cat' noises. Your 'kisses'. How you smile at your own pictures. Group hugs with Dada. How you put your jaw & lips when you say 'Dada'. Your expression when you heard your name being sung from your personalized CD. How on December 22nd, I opened your bedroom door to find you standing on your own, waiting for me. How sweetly you call my name.

Drumroll, please...

Nathaniel Jacob FINALLY has a tooth! Well, it looks more like a grain of rice than a tooth, but hey, I'll take it!

Since Christmas break, Nathan has definitely grown in the personality department. He really is a happy baby... I am so going to miss his wide, toothless smile! It is so interesting to see how freely he talks and expresses himself when he knows the company. Whenever a new face enters the scene, however, he becomes the most serious baby on Earth! Yet, on the flip side... don't DARE attempt to change his diaper without giving him some kind of diversion. He now hates lying on his back for ANYTHING! Nate will scream and shut his eyes really tight and then in the next moment, he'll just stare at you. I really think he thinks I am THAT gullible!

Along with the developing personality has come the mastery of crawling; he LOVES this new found freedom... Nate has become a daredevil, throwing himself in any direction - thank God for his cushioned pack 'n play! I can't believe that in two months time he has become so independent.

On Friday Nathaniel will turn 11 months old... I am already planning his birthday party - or should I say partIES! Yes, he is having two parties. God help us all. It WILL be the social event of the season - complete with music, art, food, and of course, tons of birthday cake!
