We can't believe that Nathan will celebrate his first birthday in just a few weeks. The past 11 months have gone by quickly, so it still surprises us to see him looking like a little boy instead of a baby. He's not quite walking yet, but he crawls everywhere (including up the stairs) and can pull himself up to standing. He's got 5 teeth now, so he's eating lots of finger food. He loves peas, Cheerios, salmon, and the little chicken and apple meatballs that Sarahbeth makes for him.
In the past few weeks, Nathan has had his portraits taken at Sears, went on his first hike in Shenandoah National Park, and went to pick raspberries at a local orchard. As always, here a few recent pictures.
