11.11.10 - Bottoms up!

Whoa, brother! You're gonna give yourself whiplash!

11.10.10 - What's in a name?

Water.

11.09.10 - Puhsketti

As with Maddie, there was no shortage of photos from today from which to choose. Nate had spaghetti for the first time and, well, is this not the stinkinest cutest boy you've ever seen??!!!

11.08.10 - Speaking of monkey

Nate's sock monkey watches over him as he drifts off to sleep. I wonder if he dreams about monkeys?

11.07.10 - Monkey toes

Angie thought Nate had monkey toes as he pushed against his high chair tonight. He really is our little monkey.

11.06.10 - Teefers

Rosy cheeks (and six poops) means one thing: those dang teefers!

11.05.10 - Hi, Mom!

Nate's been waving a lot lately. We think his first word might be "hi!"

11.04.10 - Grandpa and me

On Halloween, I snapped this impromptu photo of Maddie and Grandma Shepherd only to realize later that I didn't have one of Nate with Grandpa Shepherd. Since grandma asked me for a print of the girls I thought it only right to also have a photo of the boys. My parents have really stepped up and helped us out tremendously with our day care needs since Nate was born. (And we snapped this photo tonight as we were getting home from work.) Heck, they've even been known to fold a load of towels and wash a sink of dishes now and then. We really couldn't do it without them! I didn't know any of my grandparents growing up so I'm grateful for this time our kids get to spend with theirs.

11.03.10 - Massive forehead

Nate's nine months old today and getting so big. Unfortunately, so is his forehead, just like his dad's. Sorry, dude. Maybe you'll have all his other redeeming qualities. :)

11.02.10 - Voter fraud

Warning: This blog post contains rare political commentary.

Maybe that clown is right and there is a voter fraud problem in this state. Sadly, one day I'll have to tell Nate that his vote, in this state, likely won't count for much. But at least he'll get a sticker out of the deal.
