Baby Nathan - Fastest Year EVER!!!!

My first look at my boy!

First picture with Mommy and Daddy

1st Sunday at church

      This past year has been one of the fastest years of my life and I hate that its  over :(  I cannot believe my baby boy will be 1 tomorrow. (And FYI, I am totally balling my eyes out as I type this!) My world would not be complete without my little boy. He is my mini-Leah, Momma's boy that I adore more then anything (not more then my girls ha ha). I am so grateful for him, he is such a happy, full of smiles, cheeky boy and I just love him to bits! 
And although I have not blogged in a long time, I have taken a MILLION pictures of him because I never want to forget any of the moments we have experienced in his first year. Being number 4, of course I wasn't quite as diligent about the baby book, 1st year calendar, etc... but I think I took more pictures of him then of the girls in their first year because I had my awesome Canon camera.        
Nathan at 1.
You don't crawl, you bum scoot with your one little leg tucked under, so cute!
You make kissing noises when you want a kiss.
You wave good bye to everyone.
You flirt with all the girls but giving smiles and pretending to be shy as you lay your head on my shoulder.
You adore your sisters and think they are so much fun.
You love to ride the princess car, the girls push you around all the time.
You love to go under the kitchen cupboard to pull everything out (you even tasted a dishwasher tablet a month ago, did not like it but still go back to try and get at them)
You love BATHTIME!!! You love to splash and play and hate to get out when it is time.
You nap only once a day usually unless we are driving around.
You love it when Daddy comes home and want him immediately, which makes Dad pretty happy!
You love music and bop/move whenever you hear something come on.
You love to dance with Mommy and Daddy.
You mostly say Mamma, but have said Daddy, Ba, Ooaa (not sure what that means but you point to things and say that) you also say Maama when I say Gramma
You point your chubby little index finger at everything, you are so curious!
You love to go for walks, but like to have a snack along the way
You have the best cheezy grins
You love the camera and have smiles whenever there is one (or a cell phone) around
You are so good for anyone when I am not around but definitely want me as soon as you see me.               
I feel so lucky and privileged to have you in my life. I love my girls but there is a special place for my son in my heart, there is nothing like getting snuggles from a boy that thinks you are the most wonderful person ever!
I love you Nathan, thanks for coming to our family!!!!

ps. don't grow up too fast!

         

Happy Birthday my Handsome little Man!!!!!
