Lilypie Second Birthday tickers

Monday, August 17, 2009

Last week I headed back to NJ for a few days and packed in a whole lot in my short visit home. I got to see my old buddy Lauren before she left for the Middle East for nine months. My friend Kristin came to visit and I got to hear all about her three week missions trip to South Africa. Nate was visited by Ron, Aunt Mariane, Mary (who leaves for college very soon!), and Hannah. We visited my grandparents (Nate's great grandparents!) and Nate gave them lots of smiles. And we also got to visit my great Auntie Alice who had not yet met Nate. The weather was crummy so we didn't get in any pool time but we did plenty of lounging and talking and eating. I also got to see Jessie who had been away in Europe for a couple weeks.


Kristin worked wonders with Nate. He fell asleep in her arms numerous times.


Nate was a HIT at the nursing home. Auntie Alice covered Nate with kisses.



Jessie and my mom got Nate the "Sassy", a super fun bouncer. He is a little young for it but yesterday Nate had a new little friend come over who is five months old and showed him how it works.

Testing it out in NJ





Lunch at Stoney Creek (Thimble Islands in the background)



Here I am at Stoney Creek 8 days before Nate was born.


All ready for church! (Nate now wears a bib much of the time because he has a constant waterfall of drool coming over his chin. He also likes to put EVERYTHING in his mouth, including bibs)

Here is a series of Nate making goofy faces. I don't know why some pictures are turned the wrong way. Anymore his mouth is wide open as he tries to shove anything and everything in it!
