Falling into Fall

I can't believe it is November already. Nathan has changed so quickly, even since my last posting. He is now (drumroll please) crawling and pulling up on furniture! Holy moly. I didn't expect this to happen this fast. One day he is pretending to crawl or crawling only for pizza and the next he is officially crawling and pulling up on anything that he thinks will hold him. Wow! The little guy is confident and independent too, like his dad. He thinks it is fun to pull up on something then let go or try to reach for something with one hand while kind of holding on with the other one. Then he is surprised when he falls. It is pretty funny.

So now we have to childproof the apartment and really pay attention to what Nathan is doing at all times. He knows exactly what he is NOT supposed to get into and that is his favorite stuff - the power cords, outlets, stereo equipment, etc. Another thing to add to the "to do" list. Of course, I secretly must admit that I am pretty proud of him. He is a go-getter, this one. Nothing is going to hold him back!

This week we had the opportunity to visit with Ann Hoyt and her boyfriend Scott again. This time we took pictures. It was such fun to spend an evening with them, especially because they do not mind sitting on the floor and playing with Nathan rather than going out. It is great for Scott to connect with family friends and for Nathan to meet Ann. We look forward to more time with them.

Well, it is officially fall and we are preparing for a Thanksgiving trip. And before we know it...Christmas! Lots of pictures to be posted, I am sure! Happy Thanksgiving to all. Nathan on a beautiful fall day in Central Park, with his Daddy
