Easter Egg Hunt

Last weekend we traveled to Pittsburgh for Logan's Baptism. We also got to see Jen and Stephen's new house. I didn't take any pictures while with them, but check out their blog as I'm sure they are going to post pictures on both events as soon as they get settled into their new house.

On Saturday, Nathan participated in his first Easter Egg Hunt. Nathan got to see his buddy Luke at the Egg Hunt.

Look at all those eggs in the basket! That's my boy! Look at how cute my boys look...

Nathan was scared of the Bunny so Grammy and Charlie posed for the picture.

My little Pele

Our little guy started soccer yesterday. He had so much fun running around with the other kids, kicking balls, and doing various other "drills." Here are some pics from the first practice.





Luckily this was towards the end of class.

Out and About

We haven't been up to much lately. A few weeks ago we went to see another Sesame Street Live show. This picture was taken right before Nathan knocked the cardboard cut-out of Big Bird over. I realized we didn't have any recent pictures with Mommy and Daddy in them. I love cuddling with my little man.

And so does Daddy...


Nathan is back in swim lessons. He is doing so much better with his jumps, paddles, and kicks. And Daddy is doing better at helping Nathan swallow less water :)

Growing Up Too Fast!

From big boy bikes to big boy beds, we have seen it all in the last week. Nathan has been showing signs that he is ready for a toddler bed, so we converted his crib. The first night was rough. The second night was a little easier and we are hoping each night gets better and better. Here is Nate lounging in his bed after waking up from his nap.

After struggling to get this helmet on for a week, we were finally able to get it on his head. After that, he was so excited to hit the pavement with his new wheels. He is getting much faster and we even went for a walk with it around the neighborhood. He only wears the helmet cause Uncle Bobby also wears a helmet when he rides his bike.

Baby Bradley Heck (my friend Kim's baby) was born on February 16th. We visited them last weekend and Nathan loved posing for pictures with Brad. Brad was a super cutie and I loved holding a tiny baby again.

Look What I Can Do!!

January 7th was a big day in our house. It was the first time Nathan used his potty. Since then, he has gone 5 times total including just this morning. I finally decided it was time to capture a picture of it to cherish the moment. We are working on having it be more consistent.

Here is Nathan on his new favorite toy. Must admit, he was afraid of it at first, but now he loves it.

Happy Birthday Uncle Bobby!

My wonderful brother celebrated his 16th birthday yesterday. I can't believe how grown up he is. He is a smart, clever, and funny young man and I'm so proud he's my brother.
When we aren't partying, Nathan is busy learning. He loves learning so much that it sometimes tires Randy and I out. He is constantly begging us to do Brain Quest or flash cards. He is so smart and pick things up very quickly. Here is a picture of him doing 4 piece jigsaw puzzzles. Nathan knows all 53 flash cards. Next step is teaching him how to read the words and not just identify the pictures on the cards.
Pap Pap got Nathan to balance a Rubik's Cube on his head. What a talent!!
Next post will highlight another first Nathan recently had...I don't have pictures of it so I don't want to spill the beans just yet.
