Nate Can Walk!

Last Sunday, Nate could not walk at all. At best, you could trick him into walking two steps between two people with a little shove in the direction of waiting arms.

The very next day, Nate became a full-fledged walker. He just started and that's the end of that. This video was taken on Tuesday, his second day of walking. Can you believe it? Most kids walk a step, the next week a few more, the next week a few more. Nate went from zip to full-on walking in ONE DAY. I think he had been storing it up for a while.

Here is our little Frankenstein-baby. He walks with both arms held straight out in front of him. We think it might be funny to wrap him in toilet paper and get a video of him walking like a mummy. :o)

Yay, Nate! Congratulations!

Big Red the Kayak

We bought a one-year-old kayak a couple of weekends ago with Matt's parents and we are loving it! We've taken it out quite a few times and it performs great with no leaking. It came with backrests, hatch covers and paddle holders. The only thing it doesn't have is a fishing pole holder. Luckily Father's Day is this weekend and Matt has already chosen out his gift... :o)

I uploaded these pictures out of order and blogger makes it super hard to change the order once you put them up, so you are getting these more or less in reverse. These pictures are from two separate outings that weekend.

This first picture is of when we took Nate out fishing at sunrise one morning and he fell asleep on the kayak! He was leaning on me in the front seat, and I carefully eased myself out from behind him as we came into the beach to get this picture.

Crashed out - so much fun being on the water!

I'm the King of the World!!!

Nate pulling in a huge ulua. Okay, he was actually just holding the pole while we trolled.

I can't express how much Nate loves being in and playing with the water.

Happy fishing baby.

The first time on the kayak. We have him sitting in his high chair seat in the center of the kayak. Worked like a charm!
