The Zoo...oops! I mean the fair!

Nate and his first fun time at the fair on Wednesday. It was a HOT one and I wasn't feeling well, but we still went. Dad kept promising Nate all week long that he would see the zonkey...we saw something that looked like it, it was a donkey with a black stripe on it. Skates loved all the animals. He even got to go pet the sheep and goats. We were there 2 1/2 hours and really had a great time. By the time we left there were more people coming....good thing Nate's nap time called to us.

Hip Hip Hooray!

So I took the plunge and signed Nate up for MY GYM! He loves it! Today was our 2nd time and Nate had a blast. He loves to try the bar, the "magic" swing, and even loves to go in the ball pit. He really doesn't care for circle time, but who can blame him. Today he got to catch bubbles with all the kids, jump on the trampoline, and drum roll...................play on a toy motorcycle!

I can get Nate to do anything by telling him one of these things:
"Let's go find the motorcyle"
"Let's go find the police car siren"
"Let's go find the trash truck"

He loves everything boy!!!!! I really can't believe how much older he seems. Our big boy, skate taco, will be 2 in 1 1/2 months. It's breaking my heart.

Wish us luck...no mean people...we are taking Skates to the fair for the first time tomorrow. Daddy assures us that there's a zonkey at the fair. I don't believe it! A real live zonkey. I'm sure I'll have pics to post. So stay tuned!

Summer

Below is a slideshow of some of the pictures we took this summer. Our lil' Nate loves to read the newspaper with daddy, feed Ringo, sit and jump on his zebra, play with Papa, put sunglasses on Ringo, and so many other things!
I loved watching him this summer. He's saying so many things..."Bless you", "I love you", "Excuse me", "Please", "Thank you", and so much more. He's such a BIG boy. I can't believe in 2 more months our baby boy is going to be 2. It doesn't seem possible that 2 years ago today we were waiting for him to arrive.
I hope to get video of him talking and post it soon!
Enjoy the slideshow!
