Nate is now 1! He is walking around like a champ, and took his first steps well before his first birthday. He is awfully tall, but still remains a skinny little dude. Now that he is walking, it is obvious that he lacks a butt, and he sags his little pants like a regular ol' gangsta.
We had a fun party at Rec Plex with several of his and Stella's buds. We rented a ball pit and party room, had pizza and a really cool car cake that was hand made by Mommy. I also made buttons and cupcake toppers. He pulled in some great gifts; toys for little dudes- trucks and bulldozers... Lots of fun stuff.
Nate and Stella have been sick a lot lately. Right after the party, Stella had a fever that came on so suddenly that it gave her a seizure. Nate and I rode along with her in the ambulance to the hospital for another family first. I also had febrile seizures as a child, and we are hopeful that this will be the only one. It was terrifying, to be sure, but everyone is happy and healthy again today.
Nate continues to be cuddly and lovey, and he and Stella often snuggle up on the floor. Stella is hilarious, and her memory is astounding. She recalls entire episodes of shows and learns songs after hearing them a couple of times. She turned to me and said, "Cows have no beef with that!" Nate is so giggly and thinks that everything is funny, especially his sister.
Life continues to roll along. We closed on the house, and have been working there on free days (of which there are never enough), and will probably move once school lets out. Both kids will have their own room, there is a large family room and a huge yard. It is going to be great! Stella can't decide on her room color (she asked for purple, red, brown and green thus far) and she will be moving to a big girl bed. Amazingly, she has yet to climb out of the crib... Shh, don't tell her that she has had this capacity for six months...
