Walk this way!

Nathanael took his first steps last month (early Feb/14 months) and has taken the entire month to perfect them. He is walking about 60-70% of the time as of this week. Its official...he has moved from baby to toddler as he takes these steps!

Aunt Jen Cleans House

Since starting back to work full time, Aunt Jen has instilled a new method of cleaning house and mopping the floors. Just kidding, Jen!

Whoa!

Nathanael started go down the stairs on his own a little over a month ago. He was well-taught by his big brother and Ga. cousins. I remember when my brother, Byron, used to do this. I rarely have to use the gates anymore! Yippee....can you here him say, "whoa!"?

What is Nathanael up to?

This little guy loves to climb! He has a few new tricks this month - going down the stairs (fast), climbing on chairs and crawling over toys. These pictures make me crack up!

Five Parties for the 5 Year Old

Zachariah celebrated his 5th birthday on January 2nd. Actually, he started celebrating a month earlier while in Mississippi with his Grandparents (party #1). Then, he opened presents and had cake with his cousins and Uncle Byron who celebrate a near same birthday (party #2). Mommy and Daddy took him to O'Charlie's, too, where he loves to eat Cheetios. (party #3-not pictured) He also had a party at Preschool (Party #4) and the grand finale, nearly 2 months later was a Chuck E Cheese with friends (party #5). Whew....I hope we do not have to do that again for another year! Happy Birthday Zman!!!!

Christmas 2008

We had a great time celebrating the holidays in our home. Zachariah got up early to see if Santa visited and checked out all the presents before the rest of us woke up! Then we headed to my parents house (Bethany) in Blissfield for a few days.

Visiting Santa

Zachariah & Nathanael put their wish list in with Santa last weekend. We attended a fun craft morning at the Holland Civic Center. Zachariah tends to be a bit shy and Nathanael was pretty curious to check him out.
