The different ways we hear things...

Tyler - "Mom I want you to eat breakfast with me."
Me - "Sorry buddy, I need to finish getting ready for work.  Brooke can eat breakfast with you that what big sisters are there for."
Brooke - "But mom I am 5 not 4!"
Me - "I know you are 5, when did I say you are 4?"....

Oh....

Just like his big bro

Tyler watched one of the neighbor boys ride around the block holding the handle with only one hand.  He decided to try this as well.  Some how he managed to tip his tricycle over on top of himself.  He is totally our son.  Then of course Nathan began picking up his hand and holding on with only one hand. (I missed the picture of this.) 

Nathan found this little bike in our garage, and was so excited.  You should have seen the way his face lighted up.  We had picked up the little bike when Brooke was around 2, but she never got the hang of it by the time she out grew it.  However, Nathan is all boy, and I can tell will be getting good use out of this throughout the summer!

In My Abundance of Free Time

Since I don't have time to do laundry, update the blog, or keep the house clean.  I have decided to increase my time working on sewing projects.  (Yeah, exactly don't ask why...maybe engineering isn't really my calling in life, but I know this wouldn't pay the bills!)

I have started having a great time making pillow cases.  Not only are the super fun to make, they are super easy!  Just Google "Burrito Pillow Case" or "Rolled Pillow Case".  Its really easy and a lot of fun to make.  

Note: I am aware (or was informed) Spiderman and Batman are not allowed to hang out together... well I guess they will need to learn a new path, since Tyler really wanted these. :)

Then since I did so good at the pillow cases I decided to start another more complicated project.  Above is the first picture with most (1 is missing) fabric cut out.  Now for a reason to come back to checking the blog again to see what I am making....I am sure to be doing a lot more Google YouTube searches to try to understand all the stiches they call out in the directions! 

Nate, Nate 15 months Old

I think I have been afraid of the blog, as I haven't been able to catch up.  Either way, I am going to forget about catching up, and just do random posts when I can. 

Nathan spent his 15 month birthday at the family cottage this year.  He is a sleeping "rock star".  It's going to be a sad day when we decide to break him of his binky at night, as he is by far winning the award in the house on sleeping.  Normally about 12 hours at night very rarely waking and taking a 2-3 hour nap depending on how long you will let him sleep.  I think he just enjoys his quiet time in his bed, as you will check on him, and he is just lying there playing with his two (or 5) binkies.  Probably also needs his sleep to re-charge him as he is growing so fast.

There is also no stopping him on climbing, running, etc.  He has decided if his brother or sister can do something so can he. 

However, he still needs to work on increasing his vocabulary.  He has found he can get his message or point across by pointing, and saying "uh oh".  We also think we have heard him say "Hi Daddy".  Either way, he loves waving at strangers, and seeing their smiling surprise faces.

We will be getting his offical status in a few weeks from the doctor, but based on a recent visit to the office (Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease...boo) he is up to 28 lbs.  Also, he fits perfectly in Tyler's summer clothes from last year (2T). 

Well that's all for now!! Back to work.
