I don't know how babies do it. That looks like it's gotta hurt!

06.19.10 - Uncle Aaron


Nate met Uncle Aaron for the first time today! Aaron and I were matched in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program in 2003 and saw each other weekly until he moved to Cincinnati in 2005. He comes back to Topeka at least once a year to see family and I make it a point to make the short drive up the turnpike to see him. (And because we have family in Cincinnati, I've visited him there a couple of times.) This year, I made the trip with Angie and kids. Maddie was near meltdown mode so we decided to let her run around the kids' indoor play area at the mall. After that, we followed it up with dinner at Sbarro's in the food court. It wasn't as good as the Glory Days Pizza we used to share, but was good times nonetheless.

06.16.10 - My new friend


Nate made friends with Jayden, a cute six-year-old who was visiting family who are neighbors with Nan and Pop, while he and his sister hung out at their house while Angie and I could attend another Love and Logic parenting class. Jayden was playing outside with everyone when we arrived. After we went inside the house we though Jayden went home. The next thing we knew he popped his head up from behind the kitchen counter and walked in the living room like he owned the joint! Since he liked Nate so much, I insisted that we get a photo of them.

06.12.10 - Who turned out the lights?!!


Don't worry. Nate didn't suffocate himself. But I did leave the blanket over his face just long enough to make this snap!

06.11.10 - Shoe shoppin'


Oh, no! Nate enjoys shopping for shoes!

06.10.10 - Big boy bath time!


Nate's nearly too big for the baby bathtub. He'd better learn to sit up soon so he can start taking baths in the duck!

A full belly and a car ride means it's time for a nap!

06.03.10 - No towels, need sleepy!


When we went in to wake Nate this morning, we found his facing away from his window with his Snuggly Monkey shielding his face from the morning sun. Now where does he get that from? His Mommy or his Daddy ... or both?!!
