Nathan,
You've always been a sweet baby but you've turned into a sweetheart. If you did not already have your Mommy's heart, you sure have stolen it this month. You love to give her the BIGGEST hugs and kisses! Oh it melts her heart every time. We think Dada is jealous and he probably should be!
You walk ALL the time now! Some days it seems you like miles and miles. You can even walk backwards and sideways! You love to explore everything in the house. You love to play "hide n seek!" You run or crawl around the kitchen island until someone starts chasing you.. It it SO adorable and fun! You learned to clap this month and just absolutely love it. The first time you clapped on your own was ironically during "the clap on" commercial. You are too funny. You also learned to shake your head "no!" This spells big trouble for mommy and daddy. You are already saying "no" to food, naps, and diaper changes!
Mommy and daddy have noticed how much you just seem to be more aware of things these days. You always have a curious look on your face and you don't miss a thing. If we change something around the house you notice it instantly. You outsmart us ALL the time.
Last year at this time, mommy and daddy were counting down the days until we could hold you in our arms. Just 4 short weeks but it felt like an eternity. Your mommy was huge! For every pound mommy gained she got back with sweetness from you. We are So happy to celebrate your first Christmas this year. Christ blessed us beyond our imagination when he gave us you! We are still pinching ourselves because it so hard to believe you are apart of our lives. We can't believe our baby won't be a baby too much longer :( we have cherished everyday and every moment!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
