With the start of the new year I have decided since I am busier than I've ever been before I am relieving some of the expectations I have for actually getting to update my blog. Its midnight on a Friday night and I have been at the bloggidy blog updates for about three hours now. 

I'm tired but I have made a resolution to myself to atleast get my phone pics up once a month. 

Shouldn't be hard but we will see.....

We celebrated the new year, hung out at Piper's, had some crazy dance parties, got another breast ultrasound, went to Nathan's one year checkup, GRAND OPENED PIPERS PLAYGROUND, went for a few runs, had family come into town to visit for a weekend, we went to Pikes Place Market, the capital dome, couples date night, and ate amazing Mexican food, and the kids did some cute stuff along the way....like usual. 

Here is what the new year has looked like so far in January

We sit, we eat from a bowl, and we beg.....hummm..... sounds more like an animal at this point in life but this is one of Nathan's favorite things to do. He sounds like a seagull and points at what he wants and continues until he gets what he wants. Right now cherrios are like candy to this kid. He could eat them everyday, all day long. Isaiah spoiled him and bought some of these apple cinnamon flavor and he was in heaven.

twelve months stats: 

no checkup this months.

 weight seems to be around the same but he seems to be in a growth spurt. 

eating: can you say GROWING! His appetite has really grown this month. He is eating more than Kaylee already. He still has a bottle at naptime and bedtime but we are slowly phasing out the milk and replacing it with water first then getting rid of the bottle all together. 

clothes: 24m-2T

diapers: size 5 still 

 

milestones/factoids:

This Christmas was really special. 

We took the whole family to Boise to celebrate not just Christmas but Nathan's first birthday. 

We headed out for the 9hr car ride and the kiddos did great. 

They are great little travelers.

 Christmas Eve started off with some good ol' birthday celebration

We had some cake, opened some presents, and ate some pasta.
 

 Then it was off to see Holiday Lights at the Botanical Gardens. 

We came home to make Santa some cookies. We followed the Norad Santa Tracker all night and Isaiah took a picture for Kaylee when he stopped in Boise.

 Then it was time to head home......we took our time, left later than usual and beat the huge storm that hit later that day.

It was a great Christmas with a ton of new memories and a year of fun ahead!
