New House

"New house" "new house" is Nathan's new favorite phrase. He absolutely loves the new place and is so obsessed with his new playroom in the basement that he cries everytime he has to come upstairs to eat, take a bath etc. He's also sleeping like a champ now that he's back in his own crib and the room darkening shades are resulting in later morning wake ups which make mommy and daddy very happy. The move itself was rather painful thanks to a stomach flu(Nathan, Dave and Pop) and the house was pretty dirty after being unoccupied for over a year, but we finally have it in decent shape. Still lots to do but it's functional for now. We also found a mouse running around the kitchen on the first official day we were living here which was not good, but Dave caught him with a broomstick and bucket.

Ugh!

So, seeing as no one who knows me will be reading this blog anytime soon, I can discuss my morning sickness. Currently, it's pretty bad and it's very difficult running around after an 18 month old when you just want to lay down and sleep or visit the inside of the toilet bowl. We are very excited about this new baby, but he/she is a bit of a surprise for us. According to the babycenter website I'm due June 13th, which seems like a lifetime away. Still haven't made it to the Dr. since we are moving and I have to find a new one.

The Lion

Nathan has 2 halloween costumes. This is the first of them that he wore to Children's Day in Salem on October 14th. He has perfected his "roar" and didn't mind wearing the outfit at all.

We're Moving

Well, we are about to close on our first home and move out of our apartment in Salem. We are very excited and a little nervous as you can imagine given the financial obligations. Nathan has no idea he is moving and hopefully he'll like his new room and house. Dave and I expect him to love it after he gets used to it because he suffers from cabin fever in our small apartment all the time and we know he'll love having his own playroom in the basement. We have watched our friends blog for some time and have loved reading their entries and decided now was as good a time as any to get started. Nathan is almost 18 months old and absolutely hysterical. His favorite activity is reading and he says "shit" whenever he wants to read. He'll walk over to me with a book in his hand and say "shit, shit" and then I "sit" down and he sits on my lap and we read book after book. He has a cold at the moment which is making everyone cranky due to lack of sleep but he'll hopefully be fully recovered for Colin's b-day party in a week and a half. Nathan will be going to Colin's costume b-day party as Jack Jack from the Incredibles. He has an alternative costume which is a lion and he wore it all day Saturday around Salem for the official "Children's Day" in Salem.
