Isabelle's Cafe in San Elijo Hills. Jill pulling Miles and Nate in the wagon.

Miles and Nate this morning at Isabelle's coffee shop. This is a great french cafe that has lots of baby toys on their patio.... perfect!

We spent Sunday afternoon at Ofelia Winery in Escondido. Nate was trying to be included in the kid's game of "Mother May I"?

Nate decided to give himself a banana-avocado facial during breakfast

Pincer practice

1st sign

Nate did his first sign a few days ago! It's the sign for "more" but he does it when he wants food. We've been teaching him "more" and "food" together so it's cute that he got the signs confused. It's so exciting that he is suddenly learning to associate meanings with words and gestures. It is going to make our lives a little easier knowing what he wants.

Texas

Dave, Nate, and I traveled to Houston for a whirlwind of a visit this past weekend. We celebrated my dad's birthday with a surprise party, met Jason's fiance, Naomi, and took an overnight trip to Austin to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. Whew, it went fast but we had a blast!
Nate loved my mom's bunny, Bugs. He called it "dah" which is what he calls all animals
(probably from us saying "dog" so much but he can't quite say the "g" sound yet).

Nate needed a little guidance back to the car

Jason joined us for some margaritas before heading off to the Astro's game.

We stayed at this hotel in Austin....

....not this one. The person that designed this sign must have had a sense of humor

Nate's first cocktail party

The new tenants of One Park Place. Mom and Dad are almost ready to move in.

Nate was the youngest guest

Outside of my parent's house. I think he was a little overwhelmed with all of the ducks.

Nate and my mom reading books

We convinced Dad to get out the potato gun. This might be the last opportunity since I don't think the residents downtown will appreciate it as much

Jason and his fiance, Naomi.

watch out!

Got ya! Happy birthday!

We went to Liz, Taggart, and Carmen's house to have breakfast. They have a beautiful dog!

they both wanted the high chair

The crawfish festival got rained out so we went out to it eat instead

too much partying

same for Nate

Mom and Dad's place is just about finished!

This is our first time meeting Naomi. We had a great time eating brunch, chatting, and enjoying the view from the 50th floor downtown

My mom sent balloons to us and Nate couldn't get enough of them

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone's having a hoppy day!
Nate's day has been "egg"cellent!

love ya,
Dave, Kelly, and Nathan

Nate's first Easter Egg Hunt

Our friend, Jen (and baby Robert), invited us over for some egg hunting in her backyard.

Springtime fun

Nate's favorite band (Hullabaloo) at the park in Del Mar

such a good eater

This is why I usually only do dishes during Nate's nap

Nate likes to eat the rocks at the park. Must feel good on his new teeth.

Guacamole and tomatoes are Nate's favorite.

Practicing for the Easter egg hunts next week.

I always know it's Spring when the Daffodils at Trader Joes are only $1.29 per bunch (there's a few bunches here).

Nate and I have been practicing for Easter. I put Kashi puffs in the eggs but some of them are a little difficult to open:
