Trunk or Treat

Our church held a Trunk or Treat last night. We had never been to one of these events before, so it was fun to have it for Nate's first Halloween.

Our trunk, complete with spooky "witch's brew"

Nate at the end of the night...he was one tired bear!

7 months!

At 7 months our Nate is such a happy boy! He loves his new found mobility and can finally sit him self up--something he's been working on since he could sit up unsupported (which was around 5 months.) He already love to crawl for wires and Sammy's toys. You know, everything he's not supposed to have! Here's a video of his "crawling." He has good form some of the time, but gets impatient and usually ends up just dragging his body with his arms, rather than using his legs to help.

Other things...Nate loves mirrors, shadows, and most of all- flirting! He loves to go out so pretty ladies will ooo and ahhh over him and he'll give them lots of smiles and giggles.

More Excuses :-)

Has it really been almost a month since I last posted? We have been having too much fun! It all started with a new computer so Joel can get more into photo/video editing...so all the pictures were moved to that computer, leaving the laptop I blog on without any fun pictures to post!

Let's see, then we had visits from Sharla & Jackson, Nate's Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Buxton, and Nana and Papa Penny...pool parties, Gymboree, P90x, book club, Bible Study, Junior League and church committee meetings, etc...

And then we decided to put our house on the market! Crazy, right? We're hoping to find a house that we can grow into in our same area to remain close to Joel's office and church.

Nate is now 7 MONTHS OLD! Our big boy is still big- weighing 21 pounds and wearing size 12 month clothes! He's eating all kinds of fun foods (veggies are his favorite-that's my boy!) and has started scooting all over the place. We are hoping the house will sell quickly so we don't have to do too much baby proofing here.

We are looking forward to many fun things this Fall- Aunt Megan coming to visit, Nate's first Halloween, Thanksgiving and, of course, Christmas! I will try to update with pictures soon...
