September 2-5, 2009!

Below are some silly photos of Nathan. This is on his 16 month "birthday" and he did not like the red light that came on before the flash - so you will see all the squinting that it caused. Also see him doing what he does best - getting into things!












Nobody's watching right? Nathan getting into mischief at the peditrian's office on Sept 3rd.




In honor of my parents' 51st Wedding anniversary - and a beautiful day in Colorado, Saturday, September 5th we had a picnic in the park!

August 22-23 2009 - Heritage Park, Rockies' Game, 16 months, etc!

August 22nd - Jason's company day was held at Heritage Park in Golden, CO. Nathan got to ride his frist amuesement park rides and a pony!





The next day we headed to the Rockies game for Faith Day. It was Nathan's first baseball game followed by his first concert - Mercy Me! We went with Chris & Susan Dennison and some of thier church members. It was super hot so we spent a lot of time keeping Nathan in the shade. I had some blue/white haired old ladies (not knowing I was behind them) saying that I should have stayed home and kept that fair-skinned baby out of the sun. He didn't even get pink that day thanks to sunscreen and shade!






Now a little more comic photo relief from our sweet little monkey!

July 2009-Photos from Shannon's visit, Children's Museum, RM Arsenal hayride, coloring, etc.

I'm a little behind because we got a new camera and I'm not as efficient at downloading photos as I was - but we'll get all caught up!

July 16-18 we had a surprise visit from my old roommate, Shannon Fennell. She was on her way back to SC from CA. We managed to pack in a few outings and lots of time just catching up, or "visiting" if you are from the South!



Then on July 25th we had lunch with Chris & Susan Dennison.




The Mother's Milk bank where Nathan and I donated over 200 ounces of breast milk had thier 25th Anniversary Bash at the Childern's Museum - on July 31st.








Finally some photos from our hayride through the Rocky Mountain Arsenal with Lindsay, Eban and Jackson Tracy - where I lost my brand new camera in the hay!






Now Nathan being silly, hiding, aftermath of coloring with markers, eating Oreos, etc!

15 months old!

Sunday Nathan turned 15 months old. I don't know how the time has gone by so quickly - and I'm also amazed in how much he has changed, grown and learned in the last 15 months!






Saturday, Nathan and I joined Lindsay and her sons Eban (3) and Jackson (almost 2) for a hayride through the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. We saw deer, raccoons, bison, owl, hawk, CO's state bird the Larkspur Bunting and many other animals in their natural habitats. The three boys had a great time in the hay and were very good throughout this 2 hour ride! Then we returned back to our house for a little snack and play time. I temporarily lost my camera in the hay....so when Lindsay shares her photos with me I'll update this blog with some photos! :)

Friday night, Nathan and I attended the Mother's Milk Bank 25th Birthday bash at the Denver Children's Museum. It was for donors & kiddos and recipients & moms. This was the milk bank that I donated to when Nathan was younger. There are only 10 milk banks in the US. This is the 3rd producing (this year) in the US and they just celebrated 25 years. Children who's mommies cannot produce milk for them, are pre-term, multiples or cannot tolerate formula are prescribed donor milk. That's where those with excess come in. I encourage any nursing mother that can - to donate to this worthy cause. It doesn't cost you anything but time.

I guess that's it for this week. Scottish festival and highland games next weekend! :)

8/3/09 STATS UPDATE: 21 pounds and 14 ounces (15-20%) and 31.25 inches tall (50%). He looked great and is hitting all the developmental markers! Four more shots yesterday - sooner or later we will be done with all this immunizations!
