Birthday Boy

Nate had a great birthday party this past weekend with family and close friends. He was fascinated with the balloons, and loved his monkey cake I made (didn't quite feel too confident doing the alligator). All turned out well. He's enjoying playing with all his new toys.

Today, his actual birthday, we had a playdate with some friends of his at a park, followed by brunch with Nana and Aunt Kristen, went to the mall to Build-A-Bear and got to play with some favorite toys at Barnes and Noble. He had quite the busy day!

Still teething (what else is new,right?) He now faces forward in his car seat. He can probably start drinking cow's milk and eating any kind of solid food he wants to pretty much, but I'm predicting that will be a while yet. Especially when he's teething,all he wants is his formula, he won't even touch baby food. Calorie wise he's probably best to continue what he's doing yet, I'm too afraid he'll lose weight! We have some baby friends and relatives where this is a problem so until I think Nate has developed a strong relationship with "adult food and beverages", he's going to be a baby a while longer yet!

Hope everyone has a nice Valentines Day weekend !
