Fun Ocotber!

I have been super bad about keeping up with the blog so here are some pics from the last month. One of his Best Buddies turned 3 this month!!!! Bradys mommy also watched Nathan for me one morning while I went to what seems like one of my gazillion doctors appointments. Nathan talked about his fun day with Brady non stop. I couldnt understand most of it but what I did get was lots of racing, trucks, and baby Cash ( Bradys super sweet baby brother).
This last month we have gone to tons of fun places.
One day we took a trip to the zoo and played in the splash pad in our diapers!!! ha hah a.
The next week we took a fun trip to Discovery Green, a super cool park in downtown Houston. They had a huge fountain that all the kids got to play in and this time we remembered to bring swim clothes.
The last week we went to the Oil Ranch!!! This is a fun place where they got to ride horses , trains, and pick out a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. Nathan loves "punkins and ghosss" and wants to ride around and look for them every day.

Birthday Party

This last Saturday Nathan and his friend Claire had their Second birthday party at teh Downtown Aquarium. We had so much fun!!! ALl of his friends came out and rode the train, Ferris Wheel and Carousel . WE also got to go on a tour through the Aquarium and see all the cool fish , stingrays and even TIGERS!!! wow. After all the fun we went inside the cool resturant and ate cupcakes and chicken tenders! What more could a two year old ask for. Here are some pictures and video of the birthday kids having fun.

Nathan Swimming

Here are some pictures of Kyle and Nathan splashing around in the pool .

Nathans first Day of School!!!

Today was the first day of school. I was a little worried but Nathan did great. He took off as soon as we got out of the car for his classroom. When we got there he ran straight for the trucks and got so excited. I was a little worried that he didnt even seem to care if I was there but I guess that is a good thing.
We stopped by a little early to pick them up and it was still nap time. I looked in the window and saw all the cute babies sleeping on their nap mats!! It was adorable. As I looked around I didn't see Nathan ????? Hmmmmmm. Where could he be???
As I looked around some more I spotted Nathan and Claire sitting in their teachers lap laughing and reading a book. Can you believe these two already have the teacher wrapped around their little fingers. In one day!!! Now that they totally know how to get out of nap time I am pretty sure we are headed for some fun days ahead.
Ms. Eddy said Nathan cried a little during the day but not much . I am thinking he cried when it was time to put the trucks away. ha ah ah.

Animal Sounds

This is Nathan making his animal sounds. I know the part where I ask about a nightmare might seem a little weird but everynight we read Nightmare in my Closet and he cracks up. He loves the nightmare :) At the end when I ask him what a shark says he runs off so you cant hear it but he says dunh duh , dunh duh like Jaws . It is really funny but I cant ever get it on camera.

ABCs

I havent posted in awhile ( I forgot my password :() We are back and ready to go. :) Nathan has recently surprised us with his love of the alphabet. He is alwasy pointing out letters whenever we go somewhere. He especially loves the Neon Beer Signs. He reads B........U........D.... you see where it is going. I am pretty sure he is able to read the words Bud Light. I know his new Catholic school will love this! I swear we dont encourage this. We bought him some foam letters and numbers to practice with. He loves to show them off but cant quite figure out the numbers. We are working on that. My mother in law is convinced that he is the smartest kid in the world. I dont have the heart to break it to her but we are certain he learned them from his Leap Frog movie that plays over and over in the car. ah ah ah aha h. Shhhhhhhhhhhh its a secret. Here is a video of him showing off his skills.

Florida here we come !

We just got back from visiting our family in Florida. Nathan had a blast. We went to the Magic Kingdom and Sea World where he got to ride his very first roller coaster ( kid size of course :) ). He was the perfect traveler. He took a long nap on both flights which made for perfect flights. By the end of the trip he had Granny and Grandpa doing whatever he wanted. He has a way with the grandparents :)

Nathan on his very first Roller Coaster! LOOK no hands! YAY!!!!!

Nathan is not really sure how Goofy got so big. On his TV he is only a few inches!
