Nathan Turns 11 Months!















Last week started off a bit rough with Nathan taking a tumble off the bottom shelf of our picture table.  He still loves to sit up there and play but he hasn't quite gotten the hang of how to get down from it.  We've been working with him but last Monday morning he decided to just take a nose dive off the shelf and do a face plant onto the hardwood floor.  His little busted lip tells the story...



He still loves to play with the table that Grandma Pratt got him for Christmas.  He's now taken to pushing it all around the house...



Last Wednesday was Nathan's first time swimming!  We joined a group at the Center of Clayton called "Splash and Play."  Here's Nathan modeling his Elmo "Little Splashers" swim diaper...



Nathan's first time in a swim suit...he was enamored with the texture of it I guess because he kept feeling it...



Here we are on the first day with friends Melissa and Jet...



Nathan's new nickname is Nemo because he took to the pool like a little fishy! 



I think that he thinks it's just a huge bath tub - he had a ball!



On Friday, his 2nd day in the pool, I dunked him under a few times and he just thought that was so much fun!  But by far, his very favorite thing to do is float on his back (with Mommy supporting him of course).  He just smiles the entire time and acts like he could do it for hours!



Oh boy...last Wednesday was not only Nathan's first time in a pool, but his last time in the baby bath tub.  Here's one last shot of him in his froggy tub...



Pushing around his table some more.  You can tell by the look on his face that he was squealing with joy...



Oh yes, a new thing he started this past week is climbing up on things!  Here he is trying to scale his table (we're just wondering when he's going to try climbing out of his crib)...



Our little Love Bug on his 11 month birthday.  Man, those cheeks just won't quit - we love them...



Not quite sure when this little guy will stop pulling his socks off.  I think he's like Daddy and just likes his feet bare...



He's persistent, that's for sure...



Aunt Carrie found this cute little wooden train (whose headlight lights up and whose engine toots) at a garage sale and Nathan just adores it...



Aunt Carrie also found this cool basketball, baseball, golf combo thingy.  Watch out NBA, once this little guy gets a little taller you'll want to start scouting him...



Lately, when I put Nathan in the bouncy seat, he pulls his knees up as far as he can and likes to hang out like that.  I guess he's working on his ab muscles...



Still motoring around with this fun cart from Great Aunt Sandy...



This past Sunday we went over Grandma and Grandpa Krestel's to celebrate Daddy's birthday (fyi, the candles are in the shape of a 3 and a 6...sorry to give you up sweetie!)...



Looking like such a boy in this adorable outfit Grandma Pratt sent him...



Trying to walk from Aunt Hanna's arms to Daddy's.  He's SO CLOSE...



He didn't seem to want to share the Desitin with his bear...
