My aunt, uncle, and cousins in Oregon have several new puppies due to another dog sneaking onto their property. I wish they could keep them, they are so cute!

Happy 5 months, Nate.
Nate's latest and greatest....
He's on all fours rocking back and forth since last week! How long from now do we have until he's crawling?
We think his weight is leveling off since he's been so active so he is probably in the 90th percentile now. More people are saying they see "me" in him now, before most people said he looked like Dave. It's amazing how babies change (and so quickly)!
He's working on his "pinchers" so we are having to watch him more closely to make sure small things don't make it to his mouth.
Naps are short and rare during the day lately so when he finally goes down I am more than grateful to have a break! Sleep is okay at night but he's still waking 1 or 2 times. I think it's because he's been more active so he is needing more calories and he's been more distracted to eat during the day. He is up bright and early at 5:15 ready to PLAY!! Wow, I am tired just thinking about it.
He will probably start rice cereal soon but since we have a history of allergies on both sides of the family we are trying to hold off on introducing anything else just yet. It will be fun to see him eat fun stuff though. There is a former chef in my mommy and baby group and she is going to teach us all about making baby-food in a couple of weeks.
Nate is definitly becoming more fun and interactive but, boy, is he going to keep us busy when he starts crawling....... What fun!

My B-day
Last year we had the horrible California wildfires during my birthday so I really appreciated getting to celebrate this year.
Dave and I got to go out for the first time in 4 months (since Nate) for a date to celebrate my birthday on the Weds. before my b-day. We went out in San Luis Obispo and revisited some of the places we went during the week of our wedding a year and a half ago.
We had yummy pistachio gelato after dinner:
back at the rental for my b-day on Friday:
marshmallow roasting. Nate loves the fire.
B-day cake! mmm!
