Nathan Birthday Videos - Part 1

As promised...



Here are the boys cruising in Nathan's new ride.



hmm, video quality seems to be getting killed. May have to drop these in FB.

Nathan's First Year

Here is the slideshow from Nathan's birthday party.

The Return of the Carrot

Nathan tried solid food for the first time yesterday, well semi solid, maybe more like a mush. We picked up some organic carrots at Harvest Handfuls this week and Laura prepared them for Nathan on Saturday afternoon. A little rosemary, a little garlic, grilled for about 12 minutes with applewood chips for some smoky flavor. If anyone wants the recipe, hit us up in the comments.

Here is the happy baby, excited and eager for his next experience. His facial expressions were priceless.

Part II - The Return of the Carrots

So I guess he didn't really care for the flavor and he decided to return the carrots. I can't wait to see how he reacts to the next one.

Jurassic Teenies

Here's a little video of our teeny tiny guy practicing crawling.

Now that he is mobile he is keeping us on our toes. He keeps escaping our mini play area and removing our temporary speed bumps that are supposed to contain him. I think we have a little explorer on our hands.

And He's Off...

Look out world, Nathan is on the loose. At 5 months, 3 weeks, he has now learned how to crawl. Of course he is still a bit shaky so he will need some more practice (which he seems to enjoy doing in the middle of the night - seriously, he will wake up at 1am and start rocking on his hands and knees, eyes closed, crying; even though we're tired, it's still kind of cute), but once he has it mastered there's no stopping him. I guess it's time we finally baby proofed the house.

Just this morning he decided to chase the vacuum cleaner around the house. And he's getting faster...

Daddy Day Care - Week 2

I was able to spend more time with the little guy this week now that Laura has started back up at ASU. I am working from home Monday afternoons and shifted hours on Tuesday to get home an hour earlier. I am so excited about this extra time with Nathan and I love that my company is so accomidating. And the fact that I live so close to work. Anyway, here's a video of the little teenies holding his bottle and feeding himself.

Nathan rocking out.

You Make Me Smile

Here's a slideshow of little Nathan's life:

Roll Over, Good Boy

Here is a clip of Nathan learning to roll over. I muted all of my baby babbling and daddy delight to make it suitable for public consumption, but don't worry I added some audio for your entertainment. Nothing too professional and I don't forsee a career in directing or film editing, but hey, Spielberg had to start somewhere too, right.

I think he was a bit camera shy at first because just before I started he was rolling like crazy. Of course, maybe he was just tired and needed to recoup, because he seemed to enjoy following the camera around.
