shopping

Nathan and I got to do a little shopping recently. Before anyone loses it please note that I used around 60 of those sanitizing wipes to clean the seat and handles before I put him in the cart.

Teppanyaki

As I was going through my phone I came across some pictures of Nathan's first experience wtih teppanyaki. I think he had a pretty good time. (some of the pics are a little blurry just because they were taken with my phone)

here he's just checkin out the menu


he wasnt sure what the chopsticks were for so he just decided to eat them

of all the things to eat he always seems to enjoy taste of my watch

from his expression you can see he really liked the onion volcano with flames!

Nathan meets Mickey

Ok so although Nathan has already met the "real" Mickey at Disneyland, his great grandma Delfa and great grandpa Roy recenty brought him back a a little Mickey of his own (thank you so much!). As with most things, he tasted it and pretty sure he liked it.

laughter?

My sister Marissa sent me this picture she took recently of me laughing with Nathan on my shoulder and my brother Mike in the background. I thought it was a cool picture but cannot remember for the life of me what was so funny. :-)

Build A Bear

So recently I learned about this place called "Build a Bear". I'm sure you all know but this was a new experience to me. What a neat place for kids. Well Nathan wanted to create his very first build a bear so he asked for a little help. Of all the bears they had to offer the one that seemed the most appropriate was one called "Cheeks Penguin". Anyone want to take a stab at why?....................that's right, he and Nathan have the same, lets say..............facial fullness? Ok, they both have pretty significant cheeks. Anyway below are some pictures of his time creating and meeting his new friend. He loves this little guy now and plays with him every time he's with daddy. (by the way, I really think nathan is easier to dress then this little penguin)

Cousins

Just wanted to post a picture of Nathan and one of his cousins, Melony (who just turned a year old!). Although they look pretty serious here they were very happy to be together and with the family to celebrate their great grandma's birthday.

Nathan & Mommy

I thought this picture was so awesome that I had to include it in its very own post (thanks Tia Mona for taking and sending it to me). This is Nathan on his mommy's shoulder. You can see the love and happiness in his face, incredible!

eating feet?

Ok, so from looking at the title of this post you may have assumed you would see some pictures of Nathan eating his own feet. But no...........he's not just any baby who eats their own feet. He once, just once decided he wanted to see if daddy's feet tasted the same. (dont worry I had just taken a shower and had on clean socks). You can see progression of the expereince below.....

so here's nathan taking a look at my foot and giving it serious conderation

ok, so despite my warning here he is grabbing the foot and wondering

so now he's going in for the kill

so as you can see from his expression and tongue he wont be going back for seconds :)

Nathan

Nathan is an amazing little guy. Although I may be bias I do believe that he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen. J When he was first born he could have been my mini-me, he looked just like me! Although he continues to have many of my features, such as chubby cheeks, luckily for him he is beginning to look more like his mom too. To start I thought I’d share a few pictures I’ve managed to take of him with my iPhone (when he’s not chewing on it)

nathan is so curious about EVERYTHING

he's just reflecting out his backyard

so daddy learned recently that nathan likes celery. my first clue was the screaming that followed me taking it from him.
