Cannon Beach Day 3

Oh we had a blast today.. here is a movie that proves it.

Cannon Beach Day 2

Cannon Beach

We are at the ocean and having a great time. Nathan is growing and "talking" more. He has added nana nana nana to his list of words. I have no idea what it means.

He went potty on his potty the other day when I sat him on it. I think it was a fluke but I was still doing the happy potty dance with a couple of high fives.

He loves fish, he can find them in the strangest places. We were sitting at a coffee shop yesterday and he starts signing fish or airplane. The door handle was a fish.

Today we are on a mission to find Paul a sweater and Nathan a kite. I am guessing it won't be that hard.

Zoe is back in town..

Better watch out Zoe is back in town. Nathan got to go swimming with her yesterday and tonight they are going for a bike ride and a picnic at Green Lake. Welcome back Zoe.. we missed you.

Nathan Turns 13 months

OK I have to stop saying Nathan is a year old now. Here is an update on his development. He is 22lbs, 30 inches long and has a head size of 18.5. He doctor was pleased at his progress and says that he does not have any signs of autism. He looks at me for confirmation and is very interactive with her. We went ahead and did the MMR shot that is so controversial right now. We feel it is best for him to be protected. With the measles outbreak in Seattle a few months ago I am happy that he has got some defense against it now.


On to how smart our child is. He can answer simple questions now. "What does the puppy say?" He says "fffff fffff ffff" (aka woof).

He can drink from a straw, he can blow in instruments, he pretty much has stopped crawling around and walks everywhere with out trouble. At our doctors appointment he was getting up without pulling him self up. He understand all of his toys and what to do with them. You push a car, you put a block in this hole, you turn on this toy here. He can identify objects in books with real life. He knows the picture of a bird/dog/cat/balloon and will point or sign the object to me when asked.

At one year we stopped going to parent/baby class at the hospital and we will start up at Woodinville Toddler group in the next couple of weeks. We are also going to start swimming lessons next week.

Sesame Street

I have been enjoying a bit of Sesame Street with Nathan. Here are some of my favorites from the show.
