a few of the reasons why we love baby nate, happy 1st birthday my sweet baby!

we love.......
1. his cute curly mullet
2. his cute fatty legs with chub hanging over his knees
3. his silly sideways walk with his hands and arms swinging and flapping
4. his adorable big smile with the cutest dimples
5. that his waist that is almost as big as jack's, might be bigger maybe i'll go measure
6. his chubby arms reaching out for me when wants to be held
7. when he buries his head in my shoulder when he being shy or tired
8. that he doesn't nurse to sleep, he likes to play with faces or lips as he drifts off
9. that he can out eat jack
10. when he gets so excited to see jack wake up from his nap or when daddy gets home from work
11. when he sees jack going after something and he starts running to try to beat him (nate's fast, but not that fast yet, he'll be able to keep up with his big brother soon enough)
12. when he knows hes going somewhere he shouldn't (like the bathroom) he runs and laughs with a big smile on his face and then stands there waiting for someone to come running after him before he actually gets into anything!
13. his sweet laugh when we are doing something silly
14. his cute little dance anytime he hears music, he just starts bouncing from the belly up
15. when he says oh, oh, oh like he's making an important contribution to our conversation
16. his dark chocolate brown eyes
17. when he empties out the tupperware cupboards chucking everything directly behind him, an almost daily occurrence
18. that he is an expert at the stairs
19. that he got all front 8 teeth at once, they are so cute when he smiles (plus we got a nice break from teething for 4 months, now the molars are coming)
20. that he is GREAT in the car!
