He found them...

Up until now Nathan didn't even care about the stairs. He has rarely ventured over to them, and when has he just turns around and crawls back to the living room. Well not tonight! Today when we got back from shopping I put his bag of clothes on the stairs. A little bit later, Nathan was chasing Boris around and that brought him to- the stairs. I heard him playing with the bag of clothes and I figured that Boris knocked it down when he was running away from Nate. NOPE! Nathan climbed the stairs. He was up on the third stair, just pulling clothes out of the bag. He was pretty proud of himself. When I caught him he turned to me and smiled really big. I guess we have to get a gate for our stairs now.

Nathan's 1st hair cut!

Nathan got his very first hair cut today. His hair was getting to long in the back, we didn't want him to look like he was growing a mullet. I got the clippers out and buzzed his hair while David held him. We cut a 4 on the back and a 6 on the top. After that, daddy got a hair cut too.

Barnsley Gardens

Yesterday we went to a friends wedding at Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville, GA. It was a very beautiful place. It had a bunch of great places to take pictures. Nathan was awesome. He let me take lots of pictures of him and his daddy. I think they turned out really cute.

9 Months old

Nathan had his 9 month check up on Monday. The doctor said that he is doing great. He weighs 20lbs and is 27 3/4 inches tall. She was very impressed with how strong Nate is, we attribute that to his love of jumping. Anyway, here are some pictures from the last few days, so you can see how big he is now.
Nathan is so much like his dad! He loves books. He loves to be read to and he loves to play with the books. Here he is playing with one of his favorite stories.

Just cute with my bright blue eyes.
Grandma & Grandpa Rygmyr got a new puppy. I wasn't sure what to think about it. It was so small and fluffy.

So cute and sleepy after church.

Daddy accidentally dropped a pen when he came home. Nathan found it!

Nathan loves to look at himself in the mirror! He even tried "kissing" himself.


Nathan loves the bath. Boris kind of likes it too. He is also getting good at standing by his self. (not pulling himself up yet though).

Pigs & Peaches Festival!

My grandpa and grandma Rygmyr, aunt Kristen, aunt Caitlin and Caitlin's boyfriend Jeff came over tonight. We went to Kennesaw's annual Pigs & Peaches Festival! There was a LOT of delicious BBQ to taste. We enjoyed the music while we ate. Nathan was having so much fun trying to get the leaves off the trees.
Here is a video of him laughing while mommy told him "no". It was hilarious! On the walk home Nathan was falling asleep in his stroller and he started crying, so mommy picked me up and I fell right asleep.

At the beach!

Last Wednesday we went to Proctor Beach at Lake Allatoona in Acworth (it is the closest thing we have to a beach at least). Nathan had lots of fun playing in the sand, until he tried eating it. Here are a couple of pictures of his first sand experience.

Nathan is laughing

Nate has been on a laughing strike for a few months, but recently he has started laughing more and more. Here is a video of him doing his thing. - David
