Nathan!! Wow. Where’s the last year gone??

We celebrated Nathan’s birthday Monday night with cake, presents and Oma. This weekend my family comes in to town and we’re having a party (with more cake and presents! Yay!)

Loved his new tunnel and first Tonka Truck

Mmmmm…

Chocolate Cake sure makes a boy thristy!

And a little dirty….

It’s a little unbelievable to me that we have a one year old. I miss the little baby from a year ago, but I wouldn’t trade this age for anything. Everyday is a new challenge, such as the current fun of how to get him to eat fruits and vegetables. But, all the babbling and sharing and laughing is wonderful. And every time he does something new (like stand unsupported, or take a few steps without help), and Gary and I look at each other in amazement, like “did he just do what we think he did??”, it’s such a great feeling! Noticing how he’s starting to understand and respond to us when we say things to him is really neat too.

Happy First Birthday Nathan!
