Nathan turned one last Sunday. I can't believe it has already been a year. He is turning into a real little boy. He is always smiling, loves trains and balls, anything that moves. He loves to bang on things and make noise. He is starting to walk and babbles a lot. He is such a sweet little guy and I thought I would list my 10 favorite things about Nathan for his birthday:
1. His smile. He has a big heart-melting smile and he knows it. He loves to smile at people at the the store to get them to talk to him. And it works. He loves meeting new people and loves it when they talk to him.
2. His hugs and kisses. He is the cuddliest baby EVER! He always wraps his arms around my neck and lays his head down on my shoulder and then he opens his mouth and gives big, wet kisses.
3. His walk. He is just learning and wobbles around like a drunken sailor.
4. How much he loves his sister. His face lights up whenever Abby walks into the room. He loves to play with his sister.
5. His dance. Whenever music starts, he starts bouncing up and down to the beat and it's so cute.
6. The fact that he said mama before dada. He is truly a mama's boy.
7. How much he loves toys. He LOVES toys and will just play and play all day. He especially loves to crawl after his train and balls.
8. His determination. When he gets his mind set on doing something or getting something, he doesn't let anything stop him. Just today at home there was a ball that he wanted to get, but it was blocked by the end table. The end table has a magazine rack underneath and he pushed himself right through it to get to the ball. Of course then he discovered the ball was too big to fit back through the magazine rack; silly boy
9. His chubbiness. He has the most chubby thighs and cheeks and they are SO squeezable.
10. His laugh. We call it his old man laugh because he chuckles like a little old man and it is so cute.
We love our little man and we are so glad to have him in our family. We love to watch him learn and grow. We are looking forward to many more fun years with him! Happy Birthday to my little man!

Nathan is such a cutie! You couldn't have a cuter son than him. I love watching him walking around more and more everyday. He is getting so good at it. I'm sure we will miss his drunken sailor walk when he is steady. His birthday was a blast and I too was surprised he didn't go for the cake. Truly thought he would dig into it, but he was taught right and it shows he has manners. Great job Val and Jeff!!
