So Nathan is now off the charts for height. He is as long at 4 months as Erin was at 9 months! He is ONLY the 85% for weight so I guess he is proportional?! These 6 photos are when he is 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 2.5 months, 3.5 months, 4.5 months and 5.5 months. Maybe by the next one he will be sitting by himself!
Smith Family Vacation
This was the summer of family! We had the Dies vacation to start the summer and went to Ocean City, MD with the Smith's to finish the summer out. Erin had so much fun with Robbie and Emma - we went to the Baltimore Aquarium, on Pop Pop's boat, and to see the ponies on Assateague island.
Erin's First Days of School
She has done great at her first days of school! She gets a little teary when I leave but then she is mothering the other kids in her class telling them not to cry because "Mommies ALWAYS come back." She, like every other preschooler, has nothing to tell me when I pick her up but she runs to me with the biggest hug and shouts of glee! She goes to school with her best friend, Andrew, but they are not in the same class. They love to giggle together after school.
Erin and Nathan's Bedrooms
I realized that Dennis has put all of this work into their bedrooms and most of you have not seen them! Erin's room is a outdoor garden - with clouds painted on the ceiling and her light is a sun on the wall. Nathan sleeps under water with stingray, an octopus, and a deep sea diver.
Fall Fun!
Like every other red blooded American family we went to the pumpkin patch! Erin liked to feed the goats and Nathan liked to bump around on the hay ride. It did not seem like we should be picking pumpkins because it was 80 (and we were not dressed for such a warm fall day!).
Random Shots
We will leave you with some shots of Erin reading to Nathan (she is reading him The Nutcracker - of course!), Erin dressed as Daddy, and one of Dennis and me in DC (we went for a night to celebrate both of our birthdays!!).
