Trip to Portland

Steven, Nathan, and I went down to Portland to visit our friends and go to their baby shower the last weekend in February. They were celebrating the birth of their son, Isaiah, who was born on January 21st. We decided to make a little vacation out of it and stay the night, so we wouldn't have to do all that driving in one day. Steve got off work early on Friday, and we were able to make it down there by early evening. It was great to see the Timms and to be able to spend a little time with them before the shower on Saturday. It was so much fun to catch up and have dinner with them. Ashley was so cute with her little brother and with Nathan too. She kept asking to hold Nathan, but the funny thing is that even though she is 2 years old and Nathan is only 5 months old, he is just about as big as she is. I thought it would be a better idea if he sat next to her, so I put him on the couch next to Ashley and told her not to let him fall over. She took her job very seriously and this is how she kept him from falling...too cute.

The hotel we were staying at had an indoor pool, so when we got back that night, we decided to take Nathan swimming for the first time. We had a blast, and I'm pretty sure Nathan had a good time too! He seemed to really enjoy the water. He was kicking his legs and moving his arms like he was a pro. This made me want to sign him up for swim lessons as soon as possible.

Rolling Over

I think I have some catching up to do. Nathan has been rolling over for quite a few weeks now, so I thought I should post a little video of him. Now when I put him down on his back, he pretty much instantly rolls onto his tummy. His arms are getting stronger now, so he can use his arms to support himself and really get his head up high. This little guy is going to be on the move in no time at all. I'm sure he'll keep Mommy and Daddy super busy.

This video was taken on Valentine's Day, so almost a month ago already. Nathan and I spent Valentine's Day with my mom and dad while Daddy was off visiting his brother in Spokane. Nathan was our little Valentine. Mom made us a great dinner, and we got to stay the night since Monday was a holiday. We ended up having a nice weekend although we did miss Daddy!
