and today...
My sweet baby nephew Nathan has turned one year old today. Unbelievable. It's amazing how much he has changed! To read about his birth, click here.
He's grown so much and is impressing me every day with his charms, smarts, and abilities!
His favorite phrase is, "What's that?" but it comes out more like, "Dat?" in a high pitched serious question tone, his pointer finger out reached. "What's this? Well, it's a camera, sweet Nathan!"
He can point out facial features on people, but it's so cute when you ask, "Nathan, where's your nose?" and he points to his ears! But he gets Grandpa's nose right every time!
He's the fastest crawler in the West and has a toosh and knees of bubble wrap! Now he is starting his walking legs, which are more like wobbly skier legs, with the help of someone's hands above his ears or with the aid of his Nathan-sized toy train.Tonight we sang "Happy Birthday" to him over macaroni and cheese with sausages, and he decided it's not his favorite meal after all and opted for mashed up sweet potatoes instead. But as we sang in jolly chorus, he first looked confused and then he had a little sheepish smile as he realized that it was all for him, and as we reached the final line of the celebratory song, that smile became a full-on grin. Then we all clapped for him and he clapped back, so we clapped for him again and then he realized he had the power and all of us wrapped around his chubby little finger! When he clapped, we clapped. He giggled and it was just adorable-- there's no other word for it!
He's so lovable and such a joy. I'm so proud to be his Auntie and I love to watch him grow!
Happy Birthday,
Auntie Dawn
