Five Month Pictures

So some of these aren't the best shots. The lighting needed some work. But we had just gotten over being sick, and we were exhausted, and I did these by myself while Nathaniel was at school, because otherwise it wouldn't get done. But goodness, they sure are cute.

Nathaniel reading to his class

Such a pleasant surprise this week -  I got a picture from Nathaniel's teacher. He had read a book to the class! She said the whole class enjoyed it. Will and I were so proud. We are happy he loves to read!

The Backhoe

One of Will's coworkers and friend let Nathaniel come over to see her backhoe. She had rented it for the day to do some work. He had a great time, as you can see. So did Will.

Rolling Over and Hiking

This week Seth rolled from his back to his tummy. We're on the move!

The February weather has been fabulous, so Nathaniel and Daddy got to do some hiking.

February Fun

I am throwing a lot of pictures from my phone up here before I get too far behind. A couple of weeks ago Nathaniel got a stomach bug. I caught him asleep on the couch and Annie snuggled up with him.

My friend Mary Kay takes Nathaniel to the library every Friday. They check out books and do puzzles or whatever activity is out. He always has a great time with her.

A tank he built with tinker toys.

The paper bag monsters he made from a kit he got for his birthday.

They are both smiling at me.

Seth

Last one is Seth - fell asleep on the playmat while playing. I think that was an older shot, from January.

Valentine's Day

How blessed I am this year to have 4 sweet boys! Happy Valentine's Day. I wish I had a picture of all of us, but as usual we are hectic and crazy and it just didn't happen. I got Nathaniel a special treat - his favorite color is yellow, and I found him a couple of yellow heart cookies.

Aunt Hill sent him a fun card with a bracelet.

He chose to put this on his worksheet at church. So proud of how he loves them!

At Play

Still trying to catch up on some pictures. This first set is from mid-January. The little boys love the play yard. They like to play together. Sometimes they rub each other's head. They touch hands. They look at each other. It is really sweet. (Joel in brown).

These are at the end of January. Seth in green.

These are taken on the day they turned 4 months old.
