Random November Pics

Anna and Keith before ""Donuts with Dad" at her preschool.

This guy had a big month. He cut his first tooth and started crawling. He's working on pulling up now!












We took advantage of the nice weather and spent a lot of time outside.

I love how Anna and Nate play "together" in the playroom. She loves having him in there with her. We pulled out some of her old toys for him and the learning house continues to be money well spent!

Peek-a-boo!

Poke!

She's ok!

The other morning he pulled every single diaper out of the basket and was quite pleased with himself!

Anna's Thanksgiving Program

All of the cute little turkeys!

Gotta love that Anna smile!

Halloween

A few months ago Anna watched an episode of Diego about pygmy marmosets and decided that she and Nate should be baby marmosets for Halloween. Since marmosets are pretty much tiny monkeys I figured I could work with that. I did have to draw the line though when Anna informed me that marmosets eat tree sap, so she and Nate needed some tree sap. :)




















Gran Ran was here for Halloween!















Ready to go!















We ran into our friends Levi and Larsen. They're just a few months older than Nate and cute as can be!





































Snuggle monkey, happy to be along for the ride!

We got Nate's 6 month pictures taken this week. I didn't buy the CD, so here are some pictures of the pictures.

Mountain Day 2010

Last weekend we went up to Berry for Mountain Day for the first time since Anna was about Nate's age. It was a beautiful day and great to be back. We had a good time having a picnic with the Gormans and Swaffords. Here is Anna "helping" Catherine with her bottle. (someone's little fingerprints are all over my camera lens)













Davis and Anna giving Shannon some love (or attacking her, whichever way you want to look at it :)!















Keith and Anna













Poor Anna, this is the face that she makes when I tell her to smile. Not good! If anyone knows any tricks to get kids to give a natural smile on command, fill me in please!















Nate Bug with his daddy.

















Family Pic. There goes Anna with that smile again!














Nate says, "I don't know what she's doing, but it sure is funny!"




















Hanging out with my little guy. It's hard to believe that he'll be running around at Mountain Day next year.

Anna and Davis had a blast playing peek a boo with the stroller.

I love the look on Davis' face here. They were having a good time!

Nate is 6 Months Old!!

Our little man turned 6 months old last week! Here are things that I want to remember about Nate at 6 months old:

*At his 6 month check-up weighed 19 lbs. 8 oz. (83%) and was 28 inches long (93%)

*He started rolling over last month and doesn't spend any time on his back at all now. As soon as you lay him on his back he flips right to his tummy. This is making diaper changes pretty challenging!

*He's sitting up really well and loves playing with his toys.

*He's a grabby little guy. When he gets it in his head that he wants something he goes for it. Anna's shirt is one of his favorite things to grab.

*He loves the excersaucer and makes it rock and roll like Anna never did!

*Despite his size, he's really not a big eater. He takes 4 6 oz. bottles and is still getting the hang of baby food. When he's taking a bottle he's very easily distracted and loves to look up at me and smile, coo, and grab my face, while the formula runs out of his mouth

*His lastest trick is blowing raspberries and he thinks it's hilarious to do it while he's got a mouth full of food.

*He is taking a good morning and afternoon nap and an evening catnap everyday and sleeps 7:30-7:30 at night.

*Loves his feet and takes of his right sock and chews on it every time we're in the car.

*He splashes like crazy in the bathtub

*He's still a sweet, happy guy and is growing up much too fast for me!!
