Happy First Birthday, Nathan

We love Nathan so much and he just keeps us all smiling, that is until he eats the erasers off of the kids new pencils and sticks things in the toilet but that doesn't happen often. I am amazed that he is already one. We had mini cupcakes for his birthday and he didn't get messy at all. He likes to be clean and I can't blame him. We want him to walk but he won't. Whenever we try to practice with him he just falls to the ground and crawls quickly away. I guess he thinks that he can get where he wants to go a lot faster on his hands and knees. He has the cutest crawl, one foot is down and the other leg just drags along. But boy can he move.

I just love the pictures of the kids in the sink, one: it helps remind me of how small they used to be and two: they love it. The only problem is now Nathan wants to sit in the sink every time I go to wash him.

I just had to add this last one because it isn't that exciting but it was pretty gross. Amelia made me this treat the other day and was SO excited for me to eat it. I ate it, but in pieces. It is two Cheez-IT crackers with a Marshmallow and Caramel center. She made several and the kids were eating them as fast as she could make them. So yucky, my stomach still turns just thinking about it.
