Dear Nathan, You are a focused explorer. As soon as the front door opens you are on your way out. Crawling has become a thing of ease and you often surprise us where you pop up. You have started standing up and walking along furniture but you are adamant about not standing on your own…
First Year Letters
Nine Months Old
Dear Nathan, Nine months old! You have switched from army crawling to hands and knees crawling and methodically work your way around the house. You are getting faster very quickly. We had our first top of the stairs scare which had Dad charging from the bottom and me from the top to prevent you from…
Eight Months
Dear Nathan, This month has been full of fun changes. You officially have two teeth! They came in a few days apart and their final entrance made for a few rough nights. You have very quickly figured out a use for them stripping fruit off its peel or gnawing on vegetables. There is still a…
Seven Months Old
Dear Nathan, You are growing and changing so much these days. You are super tall and the clothes that fit you best for length are 12 months, though I’m still putting you in 6 month size onsies and just tucking in the tails the best I can. It looks like you are moments away from…

Five Months Old
Dear Nathan, You are five months old! You have the most wonderful laugh that stops us all in our tracks to see what has you giggling, which so far has just been something Emily is doing. You give the biggest, heart warming smiles when someone looks at you and talking noises that come from the…

Dear Nathan, You have grown up so much this last month; it feels like you jumped from a newborn to a four month old overnight. You have rolled over twice from your tummy to your back! You can lift your head up really high during tummy time (although you still prefer to just leave your…
Three Months Old
Dear Nathan, You have grown up so much in the last few weeks! You had a growth spurt and are now fitting in 6 months clothes by length, no problem. Last Sunday I had to dig through boxes before church just to find something that would fit you. With your incredible growing has come lots…
Two Months Old
Dear Nathan, Last week you had a major growth spurt and jumped from newborn clothes and diapers to 3-6 month clothes and size one diapers. We were at Grandma and Grandpa Moose’s house so we had to make do for a couple of days until we could come home and pull out some bigger outfits….
Newborn Nathan
On Saturday we hit the six week milestone. As of today Nathan weights 12lbs 1oz and is 23in. Honestly I was shocked he had gained four pounds; he feels heavier I guess but I didn’t think he had changed so much. I looked at the pictures I took of him when he was two days…
