4 months old!!

Nate will be 4 months old this Tuesday, September 30th. We are just loving every minute of our precious baby!! He is growing every day and doing new and fun things! I decided to let him write this post, to share it from his view (not really but we'll see how it goes).



From Nate:

Momma and daddy can't wait to find out how much I weigh at my4 month appt this Tuesday, Mom is guessing 16 or so pounds and dad guesses 114 lbs, no really mom just asked him. I don't care just as long as mommy and daddy can still pick me up to hold and cuddle me.

Here is a pic of me getting ready for night-night, I was very sleepy but still so sweet for mommy:




Here I am all clean after a bath and eating my hands:

Mom tried out my high chair to see how I'd do, she was impressed with how well and how long I stayed in there and I showed her that I really liked it. Mom loves it cause she can place me in my high chair close to the kitchen and she watches me as she does dishes or cooks dinner or cleans. Oh and the bib is just to collect drool, not cause I eat food, hahaha. I have tons of drool!


Me again in my big boy high chair:


Mommy finally had a genius move and placed some toys on the high chair tray for me to play with! After she put the toys on the tray for me, I stared at them then grabbed the zebra one and pulled it to my mouth, now folks I have grabbed at things and wrapped my hands around toys because they were in the way but not specifically to grab something and pull it to me, so another 1st... the second one while in high chair (number 1 being in the high chair itself for the first time). Then after I grabbed the toy and brought it closer, I really wanted to show off, so I opened wide and started chomping on the toy, another 1st!! I have never put something in my mouth before other than my hands... oh yeah and my foot.


Okay, here I am doing my new thing, left foot in left hand while I eat my right hand. EVERY single time I am on my back this is exactly what happens, every time!!




But, this time I decided to add my foot to my mouth, so here I am eating my foot! Mommy laughed for a while at this!




No real reason for this pic, mom just thought it was cute of me, I was ready for my night-night feeding here, come on mom, I'm hungry:



We went to the lake again, something mom says is cheap and very enjoyable so we go all the time now. Also, with it being cooler we really enjoy taking a picnic out to the lake and puttering around for awhile while daddy fishes sometimes and I enjoy it all!


It was cool, so mommy made me wear my sweater with a hoodie, thanks mom!



Here I am happy while waiting for daddy to park the truck and trailer, this is what I do while mom backs the boat off the trailer.




Sitting up to watch the sun set.



Daddy and I have this new game, he suctions my pacifier to my cheek and I try to get it with my mouth... I can never get it, but I sure try hard. Here's a picture of it stuck to my face:





I love to play in my "Johnny Jump Up"... I don't really know the real name, that's just what mommy calls it, cuz that's what it was when she was little. She forgot to turn the photo, so it's sideways and she can't figure out how to change it or delete it since it got in this post... next time she will do better and flip it before putting it in a post.




Smiling while jumping... okay actually I more so spin around. My left foot is my preference right now so I use it to push off with and it makes me jump a tiny bit but spin around more, so I spin for now, I'll grow into it more later:




Another smile for mom and the camera:






So, Mommy was on her way home from work to see me and while she was at a stop light, completely stopped... minding her own business a Tundra (big truck, just the same as daddy's) smashed into the back of her car making her strike the car in front of her and that car hit a 4th car in front of them. Below are photos of mom's car now, it's hurting now. Daddy thinks it will take over a month to get fixed, we'll find out more tomorrow. When dad and I went to go pick mom up cause the car got towed, I decided to smile for her a bunch. I even laughed out loud repeatedly for the first time when she was talking silly, it made her cry, but a happy cry. I made her day better after such a bad day with the car wreck. I even liked laughing out loud over and over for her.

Here's mommy's car with the boo-boos:
We went to the car pound so daddy could take the pics of the boo-boos.
This is the back bumper, the screw that held the Tundra's front license plate on got stuck, you can even see the entire outline of the license plate, it is imprinted on mom's back bumper:

Nathan Update 9-13-08

Nathan is 3 months and 2weeks old... WOW I cannot believe he is almost 4 months! We have really been blessed with such a good baby! He is so easy going and such a lovable precious good boy! We couldn't have asked for a better sweetie pie! He is all about eating his hands now a days! He just recently started grabbing for his feet, once his foot gets in his line of sight he will try forever to grab his foot, he does grab it, but doesn't quite understand why it won't stay in his hand when he kicks out of excitement. He drools all over the place and loves to sit up in his Bumbo or propped up anywhere. When placed in his bouncy seat he tries to sit up, but then falls backwards into the reclining position it is made into which makes the whole seat bounce. He still stands up when supported under the arms, he loves standing up, and has just started to "dance" with one foot by tapping it repeatedly on the ground when standing. His eyes are still blue and momma wants them to stay blue so he can match daddy! He is talking all over the place, he coos and babbles for long periods of time! He has also started this really long sighing... he will sigh then sigh again to where he will literally sigh 20 to 30 times in a row, they are really long exaggerated sighs and usually results in Chad and I laughing out loud repeatedly!

Speaking of laughing out loud... Chad and I were watching Reba (my favorite show!!) and of course a funny part came along, simultaneously Chad and I both laugh out loud... well Nate is sleeping stretched out across my chest with his pacifier in his mouth which he was going to town on sucking. When Chad and I both laugh out loud Nate giggles out loud too while still asleep but his pacifier halfway hanging out his mouth since his is smiling so big... we died laughing so hard since it was the most precious thing to hear him laugh out loud for the first time, and he laughed at us laughing like he got the joke too. But no matter how hard we tried we couldn't get him to laugh out loud again.

Anyway here are some sweet photos of our growing baby!!

Nate smiling during his 3 month photo shoot with momma:


Another photo shoot pic when momma put daddy's hat on him:

Nate in his overalls:

Nate all clean and happy after a bath:



And here is a video of him sighing... (to hear it, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, pause the music on my playlist, then scroll back up and hit play on the video that way you can hear the video)this is one of those times where he just sighed one sigh right after the other so many many times in a row...but of course when I got the camera out to capture it he quit... so I only was able to capture 2 sighs on camera, check it out:


It's official I have an Uncle Lawrance!! 9-7-08

So, on 8-31-08 Aunt Minda married Lawrance, so now Nate has an Uncle Lawrance! The happy couple honeymooned here in America and are on their way back to Taiwan (to their first home as husband and wife) today. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL and it was great to spend time with family and see friends I haven't seen in years, not to mention to show off Nate for the first time to his extended family! The wedding was at this precious Inn in historic Salado and we stayed in a room at the inn, it was so nice and fun! The time flew by too fast though! So this post will be about the wedding and photos of it! More to come on Nathan's update later... a quick preview though - he prefers sitting up and eats his hands all the time!


Here are the newlyweds:

A snapshoot of our family on my dad's side... the smaller side of family, haha. I'm hiding behind my Nee-Nee who is holding Nate:

The couple walking down the aisle:
Me, Amanda & our mom... we squished her with kisses!

Me & my sister the bride:
Chad & Lawrance
Me sandwhiched in between the newlyweds:
Nate with 2 of his great grandmas:
Nate by his table name tag:
Here is Nate's Uncle Sam... can you believe how big and grown up he is now?? My little 14 yr old brother who is now taller than me!! WOW!

And here is Sam's football pic from this year:

I just had to add a photo of Nate and his great grandma along with the other youngest great-grandchildren of many!! Nate needed a nap so he doesn't look too happy here - he is on the far left at 3 months old, then Gennavive is in the middle she is nine months and Zoe is on the right at six months. Way too precious!!

Oh, no she didn't!

So, Chad goes to the grocery store the other day for a quick errand to grab some ginger root. I was still at work so he and Nate went by themseleves. After I get home he tells me some lady came up to him and Nate in the produce section where they were and asked if he was a single father. He tells her no and that he's happily married while displaying his wedding ring to her... she proceeds to say, "Oh well that baby is so cute I'd marry you just to be his step-mother"... I immediately blurt out, "no ma'm that's my baby!!!" as he's finishing up his story. What's funny is I am not sure what I was more upset about; her wanting to be Nate's mom or Chad's wife... hahahahaha. Anyway crazy lady whoever you are, those are my babies, my boys!
