Our little drummer boy

Nathan has always liked drums. When Nate was 5 months old he would sit in his bouncy seat and watch/listen to Daddy play. Here are a few pictures of our future rock star...

Today at Breakfast

We went to get an oil change and while we were waiting had breakfast. Here is another adorable picture of my little skate taco!

Bully

Nathan is a very sweet, calm, and gentle boy. We were at the park today and this boy, Angel (he was no Angel), was mad because he wanted to play ball with some kids. He was crying and his Grandma was doing nothing to help him. My little Nate just happened to be next to Angel and because A was so sad, mad, and frustrated he pushed Nate down. We don't even know this kid. Poor Nate, not only did he fall on his face and knee, but he slid...there was blood and tears!!! You know what the Grandma said to her little Angel, "Angel, it's not your fault. It was an accident!" If I didn't have a kid who was bleeding and crying, I would have pushed her down. But I'm much like Nate...gentle, sweet, and calm.

Nate and I sat on a bench for a couple minutes. He was ready to go after much needed tears and cleaning up. I told him that I wouldn't let Angel hurt him again. I said, "Nate, do you want me to stay with you while you climb the stairs and go down the slide?" He said, "Yes!" But the BULLY ANGEL had other ideas.

He kept coming close to Nate and Nate would start crying. Grandma kept saying to Angel, "It's okay! It wasn't your fault! He's just overreacting!" After a few times of this Grandma, who by the way never apologized or asked how Nathan was, said to Angel and the other Grand kids..."I guess it's time for us to leave. It looks like we have overstayed."

I know there are going to be many times that this will happen in Nate's life, but I don't think it will be any easier. I felt like a UFC fighter. I was ready to rumble!!!! But that's not me...what happens to us after we have kids?---Can you picture Carrie Bradshaw pausing and looking out the window?---That's me right now.

My big boy

Nathan is officially 2!!!! We celebrated his wonderful day yesterday by treating him like we always do, like a king! Yesterday he slept in until 7:20. Wooo Hooo! Then he had eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast...he shared some w/Ringo! We went for walks...lots of them. Watched Rush on T.V. and then he was so tired that he took a nap without lunch. When he woke up he had a feast.

All day I kept asking him, "Do you want spaghetti of pizza for dinner?" "Pizza," he would say and jump up and down. So, when Dad got home we order pizza for dinner...Good choice, Nate.

After dinner we had cake! Nate was much more interested in blowing out the Choo Choo candle. We lit the candle and sang to him about 10 times. He loved it!

After we had cake he opened presents from Mom, Dad, Baby, and Ringo!!! Cars and a trash truck! He loved his day!

I'll post pics of it tomorrow!

Update on baby #2

I went to the doctor on Wednesday and everything is going great. Strong and lovely heartbeat. I'm 13 weeks pregnant and thank goodness those 12 weeks are gone. I was sick, sick, sick!!!! Now I feel much better and just need to keep myself motivated to go for a walk at least 3 time a week. I walk with Nate everyday...he loves to go out and press the buttons to cross the crosswalk. We do this at least 2 times a day. I'm sure the traffic loves us.

I have an ultrasound appointment on 12/12/08. I'll let everyone know what the sex is as soon as I can. I'm so excited!!!
