I know....I know...

I know, we haven't posted FOREVER! Hey, we have an 11 month old. Is that a good excuse?

Anyway, the big news ---> Nathan took his first steps on Friday, December 17th!!! He's take several since (no more than 2 in a row, so far), and he is getting more and more confident. That's our boy. :)

Teeth count: 2 bottom, and 2 on the way on top

He continues to bring us so much joy [and an occasional bit of grief (he gets into everything!!)]. Nathan is a sweet, funny boy - he cracks himself up, along with us! He is a very courious little boy, and it is just amazing to watch him learn something right in front of us.

Nathan is a big boy. We don't weigh him outside of his dr visits, but given the raised eyebrows we get when we say "he's 11 months," he is still on the big side. He seems to grow inches overnight, and is now in 18 month clothes. The rumor is that he will thin out once he is walking, but I believe I was told the same thing about crawling!

Nate continues to be a great eater. Meat is still a big hit. Yep, he loved Thanksgiving! He also likes his veggies. He eats what we eat most of the time, which is great for us!

We're looking forward to our first Christmas with Nathan. He loves the tree (despite the gate around the tree we have had one ornament casualty so far)!

Here's a photo recap of the last couple of months:
