Almost All About Nathan


Nathan had his 5 month birthday this week so I thought I should post some pictures of him. They say that your second child (in this case my third) gets a lot less photos of them then their older sibling as a baby. I don't know if that is the way it is with us, I was pretty busy with my first to get too many photo shoots. Nathan is a little more cooperative than his brothers were and for that matter he is more cooperative than they still are. But, just to make sure I am getting some pictures of him here they are.


Nathan is crawling. But it isn't the typical crawling you normally see in an infant. He crawls backwards and sideways mostly, occasionally he will go forward but usually right after he makes that attempt he will go backwards twice as far as he went forward. He also loves to do push ups by getting up on his toes but this often ends in a face plant. He is a very funny boy, and yes that is a long drip of slobber coming from his mouth.He doesn't like to sit normally either, this is his way of sitting, he will "sit" like this for minutes watching his brothers, he loves to watch them. They are quite entertaining and when they are not around he doesn't like it.

We got some pictures of Samuel and Jacob on this sheep skin when they were about this age and we thought it would be fun to do one with Nathan too.
I never really got a good shot of him in his blessing outfit, so I finally put him in it again and took some pictures, I know he looks really old to be in a blessing outfit but he still is cute.

All tuckered outNathan loves his feet, he has "found" them recently and plays with them all the time, sorry about the shadows I am still trying to figure out the settings on this camera.

Ok, so I said this is almost all about Nathan, here is a cute picture of the boys in their footie jammies. Jacob is wearing brown with construction vehicles and Sam is wearing white with Dinosaurs but the boys thought it was awesome that Nathan was wearing brown with dinosaurs it was kind of a mixture of the other two.

Their little feet.

These little boys are growing so fast, I can't believe how fast the time goes. Next year Sammy and Jakie will be in Kindergarten and Nathan is going to have to deal with being the only one home. They sure do love each other.

Halloween Festivities

We started our festivities out with some fun Family Home evening Halloween activities.

Sam and Jacob liked using their tongues
I was the best at this but I think I had the best angle.
We tried bobbing for apples but only Mom and Dad were able to do it.

Daddy took control of the pumpkin carvingFinal result

Sam and Jacob with their Knight costumes
The whole medieval family with our little dragon.
We also made some fun ghost cupcakes.
We had fun trunk or treating at the church and the kids were most excited about getting swords and of course the candy. All in all it was a pretty successful Halloween, but we are glad it only comes once a year.
