Li'l Snow Bunny

Today is Nate's 16 month birthday. I can hardly even believe that 16 months have passed since this precious little boy entered our lives. I can honestly say that each day is more fun than the last (and I am saying this after he spent two hours barfing on mom and dad in the middle of the night last night). He loves to watch Yo Gabba Gabba and the toddler tunes music channel on TV. He will grab the remote and start dancing to tell us that he wants us to turn the tv on. He loooves playing with baseballs, basketballs and footballs. He shoots on his mini basketball hoop and claps for himself when he makes a basket. He has 9.5 teeth and is quite the eater. He is also very opinionated and will violently shake his head if he doesn't like what's for dinner. He recently started saying no (though mainly reserved for when we take his pacifier away). He also says banana, all gone, mama, dada, school (cool), agua, book, ball, cheese, shoes, basketball, football, baseball and of course, go giants! He quacks whenever he sees a duck, barks whenever he sees a dog and is working on his moooo.

He also signs, I love you, which is my most favoritest thing. He loves to read books with mommy and daddy, especially "I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean" and "Goodnight Moon." He is so happy and sweet and animated.

We were lucky enough to spend last weekend with our friends the Greens (baby on the way, maybe Nate's future girlfriend?!) up in Tahoe.

At first, Nate was a little puzzled by the snow (pronounced no, no, no!)


But then he decided to jump right in and check it out. His boots were too tough to walk in so he reverted to crawling. It was easier to eat the snow that way, too.


Before long, he decided that he loooved playing in the snow.


Sunday morning we woke up to a couple of feet of fresh powder and Nate experienced his first snowfall.


We love going on adventures with our little boy. Happy birthday precious li'l snow bunny!
