6 Months

Nathan turned 6 months on Saturday so we took a little road trip out to Trona Pinnacles to take some "desert" pictures.  It was a beautiful day and fun to see something a little different and explore a little bit.  Nathan also had his first "poop in the tub" incident, which cracks me up . . . mostly because Carl was the one giving him a bath :).  This past week we tried Avocados and it took a couple of tries before Nathan decided that he liked them (I think it's a texture thing).  Today we are trying apples, so that should be fun.  So, to date we have had ~ Sweet Potatoes, Bananas, & Avocados.  We put Nathan in the church nursery for the first time at the new church (actually other than at my dad's church, where I knew the women there,  it's the first time ever to leave him with strangers).  We both survived and I'm hoping it will get easier each time!

 

Now for pictures! Yes! I actually spent over an hour yesterday uploading them from my camera.  We will start with Christmas and go to the present.  I hope you enjoy them!

 no, this was not the poop day :)

The Big Move ~ 5 1/2 months

I'm so off on my weeks, I have no idea how many Nathan is until I can get my calendar back up :).

  Well, we made it to our new destination.  New town, new views, new house.  Nathan is adjusting well, Abby is taking a little more time (as am I).  Carl will start his new job on the 21st, and will be another big adjustment for all of us (we've enjoyed having him home the last couple of months)! The desert has its own beauty, which I am grateful for.  We are surrounded by mountains and nothing else (which is a little difficult for me to get used to) the nearest "big" town is an hour and a half away!

  In other news .  . . Nathan's first tooth popped through on Friday, with another one soon to follow.  He  had his first "real" food this week too.  I am making his baby food, so we started out with Sweet Potatoes.  He LOVES them! One more day of those and then we will introduce bananas.  He is getting better at sitting and enjoys standing!  He is the highlight of my days with his beautiful smile and bright eyes!  He is starting to laugh when you tickle him and I am so thankful that we have all stayed healthy to this point! 

again, sorry for the lack of pictures, I will try to get all that up and running soon!
