Junebugs: Almost Walking!

The Cardinals home opener was this past Monday, April 12th and Nathan got in the spirit of things with his little Cardinals outfit. Now, although the home opener is a big deal in Cardinals Nation, a bigger deal in the Krestel household was that this marked Nathan's first official foray into meal time with Mommy & Daddy! He had chicken, brocolli and macaroni and cheese (yes, we again tried Great Grandma Pratt's famous recipe) and he did really well and seemed to like everything! He's had pasta, tacos, sausage lentil stew, strawberries, watermelon, cheese, cottage cheese, hummus,all kinds of tasty things!

Nathan has been enjoying pushing around this fun bus that Grandma Pratt got him for Christmas...

The thing is nearly as big as he is...

We had so many gorgeous days last week and we took advantage of most of them with daily walks! I think he just looks so sweet (and tiny) in his stroller!

Please don't report us to DFS! Nathan was having a ball mopping the floor with his washcloths - I promise it was completely his own idea!

Does this little guy need another haircut or what?!?!

Searching for something to wear in Daddy's closet...

After working with him for weeks, he finally got the game of Peek-A-Boo and started doing it on his own - his favorite time to do it is during meal time; he thinks the sole purpose of his bib is for him to use it for this game...

Peek...

A-Boo!

Nathan's very favorite thing to do these days is walk all around the house with his little walker. He's stood on his own for a few seconds here and there and tried taking a step recently but fell right away. He's getting close to walking on his very own, that's for sure! Here he is in motion...

This past weekend Grandma and Grandpa came down and while Grandpa and Daddy were working on repairing our backyard fence, Grandma, Nathan and I went to Laurie's Shoes and Grandma bought Nathan his very first pair of real shoes! As you can see, he's a big fan of them...
