This Thursday Natey turns 6 months and will be having his second pizza party. He had a pizza party when he turned 1 month but he didn’t quite make it to the party, at all, he slept through the entire thing. My mom thought bringing him out to take pictures with the cake was mean and the little newborn should have been left in his crib, doing what he enjoyed best, sleeping. Looking back, I’m glad I took the pictures, he looks so funny and cute.

It seems like just yesterday he was in my tummy, growing, growing and growing. And now he is doing the same thing but we can all see. Natey has done a lot considering the short amount of time he has been around. He started swimming when he was 3 1/2 months old, going under water and diving even though this little one couldn’t even sit without assistance.

We’re learning how to sign so we attend a sign through dance class which he really enjoys. He is in love with his teacher and smiles and giggles at her the entire time we are there. She is quite the catch, she plays several different instruments, including the piano and drums, Natey’s favorites, and lets Nathan play the piano as she serenades him good bye. I guess I would be in love as well.

We celebrate at mommy, Jesus and me every other week, watching kites fly, hundreds of baby’s running around (ok, maybe its more like 30, still it feels like hundreds) while marching to a sister singing praises to the top of her lungs. On a weekly basis we also meet MB moms at a local elementary school, where we eat, play and talk to other mommy’s.

Yes, Natey has quite the schedule, but out of all the things we do, our favorite, hands down, is morning cuddling! We love to cuddle. All the time. Aunt DD gave Natey a book about cute monsters from planet dance, Natey loves it, we dance the entire time we are reading it. Some would say perhaps Natey and I too came from this world but please do not be mistaken, we are definitely from cuddle planet, we cuddle in the mornings as we lazily get out of bed, we cuddle before every nap throughout the day (3), after bath time, before bed time, and sometimes in the middle of the night (ok, ok, I also feed him at this time), but it’s cuddling that we love to do best, especially on the weekend when we get to cuddle with daddy.

I have many things to be grateful for, and a healthy, happy, cuddling baby is definitely at the very top of my list.
  

Happy Monday Everyone 🙂
