Our Baby Boy is ONE!!!

Our sweet baby is now 1 year old!  How fast did it take to scroll through those pictures?  That's how fast this year has felt!!!  I can't believe it's been 12 months since our sweet boy came into this world and completed our family!  It has been so much fun watching him grow and learn.  He's a BIG boy--he's been in the 90% on the growth charts since he was 4 months old.  He weighed more at 5 months than Elissa did at a year old.  Currently he's only 6 lbs lighter than she is!  He's been walking since Valentine's Day (10 months 3 weeks old!)--our earliest walker!  His favorite toy is a ball!  That was also one of his first words--after dada and mama of course!!  He loves to yell "baaa" whenever he throws one!  He also loves to push cars and trucks around on the floor.  And he still likes anything that makes noise!  He loves to point at Daddy's deer (yes, the kind that hang on a wall) and say "deee!"  But, don't try to get him too close to it or make him touch it!  He will climb over you to get away from it!  He wants to be wherever his brothers and sister are--to the point that he's already trying to climb the gate at the bottom of the stairs to go upstairs with them.  Thankfully they all seem to be just as crazy about him!  We're all so excited to celebrate Nate's birthday this weekend with family!  Can't wait to share the pictures!  

Happy 1st Birthday to my precious chunky monkey!!  Mini-Nate, we all love you so much!!
