It is truly amazing how time flies. We've been having a fairly good summer with some of the usual stresses of work. Nate has had a good time, and we've had a good time with him. He remains a shinning spot for both of us. I think we live for his laugh. It is incredible how my priorities have shifted. Sure, work is stressful, but somehow it doesn't seem to matter all that much when I'm putting him to sleep at the end of the day.
At this point he's running, climbing, going down the slide by himself, eating all kinds of stuff, saying "down", "Doc", "Momma", "
Dadda" (and frequently "Josh"), and the other day he said back clear as a bell- "Shit" after hearing one of us get frustrated. He's 33 inches tall, which seems amazing. I'm wondering if he's going to be a big guy like his uncle Marty, or uncle Matt.
Life is good with Nate. He's our favorite little boy.
We'll put up some pictures soon.
Happy fella- he was really excited by the whole thing and did a good job of hanging out with his friends and family. We're so proud of him!
So after Christmas we headed up to Traverse City, for a great time with the Hetheringtons. Not great snow for skiing but good enough to sled. It was fun to have all of the kids together playing, can't wait until Nate gets a little older and can get what Christmas actually is. But I think he had a great time anyhow.
Finally getting around to putting up our holiday photos. We had a good time with my folks, who travelled to Chicago in a blizzard and back to Detroit in an icestorm! But Nate is still loving the activity table that he got for Christmas from Babcia and Pipi. It was a quiet, but very joyful Christmas. (Oh and there's a picture of Jack here which was part of the second half of our Holiday)
