We got our own private concert after lunch!

Bob (my uncle) and Norma (Bob's mom) making lunch

Nate loved the blocks

My cousins Paul and Hunter had fun with Nate (when he wasn't trying to steal the Wii remote)

Valentine's Day at Pizza Port with all of the babies:

Nate liked baby Emily

I attempted heart shaped blueberry pancakes for Valentine's day brunch

If you look closely, Dave's way up in the tree and Nate's eating dirt.... boys will be boys!

Dave in the Excersaucer... he looks like a turtle

so tired but still chomping on some blueberries

He loved this "door" at Sarah and Elizabeth's house

He wants to walk

We did it!!

We survived Nate's first 10K race!! Nate and I set a PR for a stroller run averaging 9 minute miles (it's hard work pushing that thing for 6.2 miles!).... even with 2 water breaks for Nate along the way (Hey, why was he the one that needed water?!!!). He was the first "little one" through the finish line... yay, Nate!

pre-race... notice those sleepy eyes.

Nathan and I are running our first 10K together down in San Diego tomorrow. WooHoo! Wish us luck!

Nate and his friends

Oliver and Nate

Nate and Will. Will is about 9 months old.

Nate and Xavier. Xavier is 10 months old and just started walking.

all kinds of Mischief

(p.s. I also posted a new video under "Nate, the bike mechanic")

Nate climbs all the way under the rocking chair to play with the printer.....while it's printing, aargh!

Taking the knobs off of the furniture

I am sure he will refine this trick. This was just the first try.

from Nate

dad took a lunch break from work and we hung out at the park and practiced walking.....

and watched the birds and picked the grass

I like it under here

Oggi's has the best pizza, I mean COASTERS

harness that energy

Nate loved his friend Will's jump-a-roo so much we decided to get him one too

baby phat

This video was from a couple of weeks ago. Now he can go from the ottoman to the sofa and he's doing some cruising.

Nate, the bike mechanic

it doesn't matter how many toys are out, he likes the bike the best

Happy 7 months!!!

Today he learned to climb the stairs! Hope those safety gates I ordered arrive soon!

What a fun Christmas Nathan had!!!
