Happy Birthday Nathan! December 28th

Nathan turned 3 December 28th! It's hard to believe that it has already been three years since delivering my beautiful Christmas baby. We sure love our little Nank. Not only is he speaking a ton now but his sense of humour is becoming more and more entertaining. He loves to tell knock knock jokes and to try to make people laugh by acting silly like putting things on his head (sound like anyone we know? Although jared doesn't really tell good knock knock jokes:) He loves to wrestle with dad but always tells jared "I'm the bad guy and you are spiderman!" He loves bad guys. Not sure if I should worry about that one yet or not. One of the funniest things he does right now is say "just kidding" if you tell him to stop doing something or to be careful. For example, he starts climbing up the railing of the stairs on the side without the stairs, so I say "Nate, be careful, get down!" and he answers with a huge smile "I'm just kidding mom!" as he climbs down. Or if he hurts Lucy accidently, it's always followed by "just kidding mom!" I think it's actually great. I think I might start doing that when I make a mistake. He loves Lightning McQeen and anything with wheels. He absolutely loves puzzles and can put them together faster than me. In fact, a nursery worker (who happened to be my aunt) was so impressed by his puzzle solving ability that she called him a genius. He loves being chased. He loves building things and trains. He loves playing his new game "Tummy ache" and will play all day. He loves every type of ball and stick. He loves playing on the computer. He is getting so smart, last night while reading a story he asked me what "serious" meant after I read the word in the story. We love our little man!

In this picture: Jared is trying not to burn himselt, Nathan is trying to be patient and Jordan is mad probably because it's Nathan's birthday and not hers.

Blowing out candles is always a group effort at our house.

Nathan is so lucky to have a birthday during the holidays so he can share it with his aunts and uncles who are home for Christmas. We were so happy to have mom and dad, Zach, Jared and Britt over to share in the festivities.
