Videos and pictures

Here are some videos of Nathan laughing, playing and crawling! There is a picture of him on "Western Wear" day in Denver and daycare as well as him being silly and with the crazy pool hair! He's such a sweetie!
Have a great weekend!

Crawling!!!

So after 3+ weeks of getting in the position, bouncing, and going backwards....Nathan has finally crawled (forward)! Don't let him not crawling before now fool you - he got around by rolling, lunging, etc. Looks like we are now going to have to start watching him more closely and baby-proofing the house a little more. Last night we had drinks on the floor and we walked into the kitchen area. My exact words were, "he's being too quiet"..."our drinks are in there!" Even though he was no where near the drinks when we left, he crawled over to pour them both out and play with the ice! Thankfully we are getting new carpet so once we picked up the ice and put it in one cup, he proceeded to take it from us, dump it again and play with the ice - showing us exactly how it went down. All we could do was laugh - then clean up and change his clothes! What a little bugger!
We all had the best time this weekend just spending it with one another.
Today Nathan went to school and we went to work in some major snow - but snow does not slow down Denver. We also have swim lessons again this Monday and Wednesday. Daddy got to go in the pool with him last Wednesday! :)
Have a great week everyone!

Nathan's older SC "brother"

Can't believe I forgot to post this. When we were in Orangeburg over the holidays - eating out of course - we saw a baby that favored Nathan. He was with his grandmother and she could not get over how much they looked alike too. So pictured are Nathan (almost 8 months) and Roy (almost 1 year)! Similar - but Nathan is much cuter! Funny right!?!

Nathan "Little Fish" DuBose

Friday Nathan turned 8 months old and Monday he had his first swimming lesson. He absolutely loved it and took to it like no other! I could hardly keep a hold on him - the entire class! We knew he loved bath-time, but had no idea he would be so bold in a pool! My friend Stacy and her son are also in the class. Ethan is 12 days younger than Nathan and Stacy and I were in several pre-baby courses together. This will make you smile! Enjoy!

Trevor Dog

Friday, January 2, 2009 Trevor Dog made his trip to doggie heaven. He was an excellent dog and will be missed. Jason had him for 14-15 years.

Christmas 2008

Nathan had a great first Christmas. It began with a pre-Christmas morning at our home in Colorado then went to my mom's house and then to Jason's mom's house! We flew out of snow in CO on Tuesday to arrive to humidity in SC. Christmas day it was 79 degrees and sweltering! The next day (day of family photos) it rained and turned cold. I then got sick and lost my voice for a week! After this extreme weather change came the fog......that prevented flights from coming into SC.....so our flight home Sunday was cancelled. So we finally got to leave on Monday.
Over the holiday we saw parents, siblings, in-laws, niece/nephews, cousins, aunts, etc! We ate wonderful, wonderful food and just enjoyed being with everyone!
Here are a few photos of our holiday!

My sister Melissa is engaged!

On Sunday, December 21st, Ted Darby asked my sister, Melissa, to marry him and she said yes. They are planning a wedding for this summer!
Congrats to them both!
