Vocabulary Explosion

Literally in the past few weeks, Nathan's vocabulary has exploded! I mean, the difference from just last month is incredible! Not only is he learning new words everyday, but he is actually talking in sentences now! His first sentence was "Where it go?" He drags out the "go" part really long and says it in the highest squeakiest voice he can. It is quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever heard. Oh and he always puts both hands up and shrugs his shoulders when he says it, which only adds to the cuteness of it. When he first started it he would just all of a sudden yell "where it go?" and frantically start looking around for something that he apparently wanted in his head. Which was fine until he got frustrated that we couldn't read his mind and help him find whatever it is he wanted. He is getting better now and starting to tell us what he is looking for, like "Where lego go?", or "Where milk go?" Also now, when he finds whatever he is looking for he yells "There it is!"

Some other big sentences right now: "here you go", "Airplane. In the Sky" when he sees/hears an airplane, and "Bless you" when someone sneezes!

In other news, Nathan also peed on the potty for the first time on June 24th!! We were both SOOOO excited. He was so cute and proud of himself. He even flushed and waved bye-bye to his pee pee and then we did our potty song and dance. We still have a LONG way to go with this potty training thing, but he is loving it right now and asks to sit on his potty all the time.

I think that is enough bragging for now! So with that I will leave you with a picture of Nathan from our engagement party.



How cute am I??????

A Celebration of Love

On Saturday, June 26th, Mark and I celebrated our engagement surrounded by all of our friends and family. We both had a blast and ate some delicious homemade food made by my wonderful mom. My sweet mom worked hard to make our engagement party so special. She came up with a sunflower theme and decked the house out in sunflowers and pictures of Mark and I. My mom made all the food and my dad grilled burgers and hot dogs in 100 degree heat. My parents are amazing and I am so thankful for everything they did to make the party so great!
