9 Months


Dear Nathan,

The second best moment of mommy's life happened this month.  The first moment of course is bringing you into our life, but the second is hearing you say "ma-ma!"  Well you don't actually know that you are calling mommy's name but it still brings tears to her eyes every time she hears it!!! 

You also have learned to lay down to reach a toy that has rolled under the desk or table.  Its amazing to watch you figure out that the toy is still there even though you can no longer see it.  You learned SO much in month six that you are just really focusing on improving those new achievements.  That's really ok with mommy and daddy, we need a little break to adjust to the fact that you are growing out of babyhood.

Mommy and daddy are really looking forward to dressing you up for your first Halloween.  You are going to be a little puppy dog, the cutest one ever!!! 

Daddy is taking off work on Oct. 17 to take us to the State Fair!  We need to do something fun and special on this particular day because sometimes its really hard for mommy and daddy.  This is the day we lost our first baby, your oldest sibling.  But we know now that you are with us it will make this day a little easier.  Just showing mommy and daddy that beautiful little smile always melts away the tears that fill our eyes.  We Love You Always!!!

Mommy and Daddy
