*Toddler Status*


Dear Nathan,

Where did my baby go? You and Zach are suddenly looking so much like toddlers! It makes me a little bit sad, knowing you're our last babies. I have tried to savor each milestone with both of you but life is so busy lately, I feel that lately it has sped by without me being able to appreciate a lot of the little things.

  • You are walking! Like a pro, at that. You took your first step (actually several steps in a row) on May 17th and have been going non-stop since then, gaining confidence along the way. 
  • You still enjoy walking behind your push toy, even though you can walk on your own. 
  • You and Zach love playing in the toilet when someone leaves the bathroom door open and the lid up, much to my dismay. I make sure to wash your hands really well when that happens.
  • You and Zach LOVE balls. You love to push them and chase them. 
  • You love watermelon. 
  • You have six teeth now. Teething has been rough.
  • You usually sleep through the night! (Zach usually wakes up once and usually doesn't wake you up when he does, which I am grateful for.)
  • You have lots of smiles to share.
  • You love to babble - "dadadada..mama...nana..."
  • You still wear your helmet but it shouldn't be much longer. 
  • You like to let us know how you feel, which can be good. 
  • We are noticing a little bit of red / auburn / copper in your hair and Zach's as well. My great grandmother (Genevieve Campbell) was a red head so maybe you got her genes.
  • You are loved and adored. 
You and Zach love the splash pad.

Fun at our neighborhood pool. 
Fun family day at Copper Sky, our local recreation center. We love swimming there.

And just like that, you're a toddler! Such a cute boy. 



I couldn't love you more. Love, Mom
