Happy 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Nate!!!! It's been a very "active" year, to say the least. He is definitely a full blown toddler now.... walking, climbing, running, getting into everything :) We are having tons of fun (whew!).

Nate is still growing into a big boy... He is 85% in height and weight. We get lots of comments on how he's going to be a line backer or be into some sort of sports, especially with his activity level.

He's been really cute lately, holding our hand and leading us to where he wants to go, pointing, doing some new signs (he just learned "milk" and "dog"), and trying to say some words (he tries to say da (dad), mama, and dah (dog) and maybe a couple of others (he says something for bird too). His new skill within the past week or two is climbing onto chairs and then onto the table.

And, boy, is he into food!! I am learning not to hold him when I am in the kitchen because he wants anything that's out on the counter (especially bananas and avocados). He loves pretty much all food and it seems like he wants to eat all day long since he's so active. Our dog, Sadie, is finally warming up to Nate since he can now carry around snacks and loves to feed them to her :). Nate also knows which balls are Sadie's and tries to give them to her.

It's amazing to think about how far we've come in a year!

Climbing

Nate's doing a lot of climbing these days. This was yesterday at Foley Vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills. Nate kept trying to escape from the tasting room to go play outside.

Just a year ago, it hurt so much to even walk to the mail box, so I am so excited to have accompished beating my fastest pre-pregnancy 10K time.
