Halloween... a day early

So we live in South GA and football is practically a religion. So much that the town decided to move trick or treating to Thursday night since there was a football game on Friday. So here is our little monkey on his first Halloween... a day early. He only got to take part in the festivities for an hour since his bedtime is at 7. He was too cute, but very sleepy.

Nate's first time on the beach

He fell asleep ten minutes into our walk down the beach. I would say he definitely enjoyed it.

"What a beautiful life we all are given! Sure, it's got some hurdles every now and then, but in the end, all rain does is make the flowers grow higher and prettier. I hope I get to share some of your flowers with you, and maybe spend some time playing in the puddles with you while it's pouring."

A dear friend of mine posted this quote to her blog and I absolutely loved it. We go back to Atlanta in November for more hearing tests. We are pretty nervous as we will begin to get a better idea of Nate's hearing. We pray that we will have better results, but as the quote states it is about the journey that we will go through. We know that we are lucky to have treatment options, but we hope that he will be able to hear.

He is doing so good. He is really reaching for things and holding on for dear life..including my hair. He is happy all the time, especially after his naps, and I enjoy every moment with him. My heart melts every time he gives me one of his giant smiles. He is such a sweetheart.

Nate really liked his second go round in the high chair. We tried peas for the first time and he really liked them. I think we are going to skip rice cereal all together.

Nate is one of those babies that doesn't spit up...He throws up. He really gave us a good soaking and all I could do was laugh. It was all over him and me, including in my hair.

Busy boy

Nate loved cruising around the neighborhood in his Baby bjorne. I think he thinks he can fly when he is in it.

Grandpa and Grandma came to stay for a few days and Nate loved the stripes on my dad's shirt. He could have stared at them for hours.

We tried a few new things today. I finally got Nate a high chair and decided to try rice cereal for the first time. As you can see he wasn't all about the chair or the rice cereal. We will try and again.

I also thought we would give Johnny Jump up a try. Again didn't go to well. I think he is still a little small for it. He didn't have enough leg power to jump. He kind of enjoyed just spinning around.

Becky's Wedding

Scott and I went to Becky Miller's wedding this weekend in Wadley, Ga. Everything was absolutely gorgeous, but most of all the bride. Nate stayed at home with his exercauser.
