Nathan's 1st Birthday

I am still amazed my little boy is a year old. The year flew by so fast and I truly mean it. Kurt and I were reflecting about this year and the many changes that took place and the many blessings poured out upon us. We do serve a good God!

Here are some neat things about Nathan. He truly is a delight. He has such a sweet and funny demeanor about him. He loves music and can be seen clapping his hands constantly. He has a passionate love for food and can and will eat just about anything. He definitely out eats Silas by a long shot. He is a very good sleeper and even if he wakes up early, you can hear him playing in his crib which is so nice. Then when you do come in to get him, he immediately stands up and starts jumping and laughing. When you put him down at night, he has a little music toy that we push the button for so he can listen to it and as soon as you lay him down and push the button, he just starts laughing and that is the last you hear from him. He is a very fast crawler and is close to walking, but isn't confident yet. He loves his brother and if he wakes up from a nap before Silas he immediately points at Silas's door. Then when Silas finally wakes up, I put Nathan down to crawl into the room first and he goes right to Silas's bed and starts trying to crawl in it. Silas gets a kick out of that every time. I could go on, but he really has been a fun baby and I can only hope the toddler years will be just as fun! Pictures can't portray his cute personality, but here are a few from his bday party.

Nathan loves balloons, so we got some to put on his chair and a few to blow up and he had a blast! Who needs gifts?


Silas and Daddy helping him open his gifts.


When it started to play music, here's Nathan clapping. So it was a hit, thank you Jerome family!


I made his cake and cupcakes, so I had Silas decorate them. He did a really good job and was so proud of himself.




Ahhhhh....the cake! Digging in.


Here are some of the friends that we had over to enjoy the special day.


Yup, always have to cry when the cake and party are over! Poor guy was so exhausted, but a great day was had by all!
