Staying Busy on the Weekend...

Our Dad didn't come home the first weekend in March because he was on call.  We haven't had too many weekend when we were on our own since a couple of the weekends he was on call we were able to go out and spend those weekends with him.  We decided to do something fun to help us pass the time.

 
Nathan trying his first apple slice!


He would bite little pieces off and spit them out.  It was really fun to watch him.


 
 
Saturday afternoon was pretty warm and sunny.  The kids enjoyed playing in the cul-de-sac with the little neighbor boy.
 


 

Since it was such nice weather we were outside when Mr. Chris came home.  The kids haven't attacked him for a long time, so they were very excited to resume this tradition!  Bradley and Daniel attacking!


Eliza didn't want to be left out.  Mr. Chris is a good sport and the kids love the attention they get.
(They are related to their Dad.)

 
Nathan just chillin' in his stroller and enjoying the sunshine!
 

The boys haven't played croquet for a while so they go that out as well.  We love nice spring days!


Eliza was suppose to be in her spot in my room sleeping, but she didn't want to be there alone.  She was waiting quietly at the top of the stairs for me to finish up what I was doing down stairs and fell asleep.


She is such a cute girl!  That's why we keep her.  :0)

 
 
 
Nathan has started moving around a little.  I still haven't figured out exactly how he does it.  I put him in the middle of the blanket and left to straighten up the kitchen.  I checked on him about five minutes later and he had moved about three feet and was still on his bottom!  I know he can get around by pivoting on his belly and rolling around, but I haven't figured out the other out yet.
He can scoot better if he is on the bare floor rather than on the carpet.  I set him on the floor so I could help Eliza with something and then next thing I knew he was yelling.  We went back in by the table and this is what we found.
 

He pulled himself under his chair and got stuck!


 
 He is such a cute boy.
He has started trying to pull up next to things.  He can make it up to his knees but not clear to his feet.  He does like to stand next to me while I am sitting on the couch though.  It makes me a little bit sad that my little baby isn't so little any more.  He is growing up too fast!  I guess he just wants to be able to keep up with his brothers and sister.  He thinks they are hysterical!
