Happy 6th Months, Nate!

Nathan is 20lbs (90th %) and 28" long (92.5%), still growing strong. He is already an adventurous, active, and determined little boy and he is making his parents very tired. Anyone want to babysit for an hour or two? j/k

Eating Rice Cereal

I wasn't too concerned about how messy he got this morning since he was about to take a bath so....

Nate's action-packed Monday

Another round of rice cereal:
Nate's not wasting any time...He pulled himself all the way up with straight legs!

He figured out how to sit in his crib today. I wonder if he will turn into a monkey like my brother who climbed out of his crib to watch cartoons.
Helping with the mail:


This "side sit" turned into a real sitting position later in the day:
playing with the Santa slippers from Bo:

Crawling practice:


Nate's all ready for Stroller Strides. We did lots of running during this class so he was asleep by the end of it.:


1st time eating from a spoon

Here's Dave feeding Nate some rice cereal:

Thanksgiving in Bend, Oregon

We had a fun time visiting Aunt Janet, Uncle Keith, Lexi and Logan in Oregon this Thanksgiving. Aunt Judy, Uncle Bob, Hunter, Paul, Grandma Illeman, my parents, and my brother were all able to fly out too. This was Nate's first trip on a plane and it went pretty smoothly....only one crying session landing in Portland. Overall, Nate loved all of the action and adventure.

Nate napped for much of the flight. I think it was that loud... SHHHHHHH from the plane.

One last cuddle before we get on the plane

driving back to Portland to catch our flight. We took a detour up to the Mt. Hood ski resort.

See you next time, Nate
Wow, what a great shot!


This was a blast!
