Twinkle, twinkle.

If you have spent anytime with Nathan, you'll realize quickly how much he loves to sing. He has quite a few songs under his belt. One of them is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Here's a little snippet of him singing. Once he realized I was taping him, he wanted to watch himself...over and over again! Other favorites include, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Old McDonald, The ABC song, The Wheels on the Bus, and Happy Birthday. It's fun to listen to him sing himself to sleep at night!

Christmas with the Muellers.

Amber, Santa Grandpa, and Katie (dressed up as Snow White, too cute!)
Nathan didn't take too well to Santa

All of the Mueller kids.

After visiting with the Mays' we headed over to my brothers house in Wheaton to spend some time with the Mueller family. Once again there was a lot of food and presents. Nathan got a ton of presents, but his favorite had to be match box cars and trucks. He spent hours pushing match box cars along the kitchen floor. Amber is so good with Nathan! They play games together and she reads him books.

A big Thank to Gma, Gpa Mueller and Matt and Chrissy for watching Nathan while Joel and I went to Indy for a wedding!

Christmas with the Mays

Opening presents.
MORE presents!

Merry Christmas!

Strolling around with Adrienne.

Christmas with the May family was filled with kids, food and presents! As usual, it was too short! Nathan had a great time playing with his cousins. He didn't want to leave the toy room in the basement! Gma and Gpa have more trucks in one room than Nathan has ever seen!

Christmas at home.

Nathan looking in his stocking and hoping to find even more cars.
A Backyardigans DVD!!

Ripping off the paper, small piece by small piece!

I wonder what it could be.

It was so much fun to watch Nathan open his presents. At first, he didn't understand what was going on, but quickly learned that each new present had a new toy inside! I would have to say that his favorite gift had to be a Backyardigans DVD! Soon we're off to Gma and Gpa Mays!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma May!!!

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!

Nathan's not too sure where to sit.

The Family.

The family packed up and headed over to visit Great Grandma May and help her celebrate her 89th birthday! It was a short, but fun trip. We got to spend a lot of time with Great Grandma, Uncle Dave, Aunt Linda and the Galihers. Nathan had a great time playing with all of the toys and eating a lot of birthday cake.

We're off soon on our tour of the Midwest to see both of our families. Merry Christmas everyone!

Nathan loves his cousins!

Kissing cousins.
Moving in for a smooch.

Now that the cold is here to stay, Heidi and I have scheduled a weekly play date. Nathan is learning to share with the twins and the twins are teaching Nathan what it would be like to have a sibling! It has been such a blessing to see the twins every week. They are growing up so fast and have the best personalities! I can't believe that they will be 1 in a few weeks!

Oh Christmas Tree

Our Christmas tree.
I was trying to get Nathan to stand still and smile..not a easy task!

"Helping" take off the decorations!

Here's our 2008 Christmas tree! Joel picked out a great tree and Nathan had a good time taking all the ornaments off the tree. He just got his hair cut and refused to let go of the balloon. We're getting ready for our holiday travels and can't wait to see a lot of our family and friends!

Sick Froggie

Giving Froggie a kiss! (Poor Giraffe and Bear get tossed to the side)

So Nathan has 3 stuffed animals that he sleeps with every night. He hasn't been feeling very well the last couple of days and ended up throwing up on his favorite, Froggie. Poor Froggie never saw it coming. When Nathan woke up he kept asking, "Froggie go? Froggie go?". He was so confused because Froggie wasn't in bed with him in the morning. So he wanted to take Bear, Giraffe and Blanket to find Froggie. Well, Froggie was in the sink getting a much needed sponge bath. Nathan saw Froggie and wanted him right away, however Froggie was all wet. So Nathan grabbed one of his towels for Froggie. So I wrapped up Froggie in the towel and now Froggie is all better - so is Nathan.

ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANDMA MUELLER!
