Nate is 8 Months Old!

Our little man is 8 months old today. I honestly can't believe it. He's trying harder than ever to crawl. At this point, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth until his chubby little arms give out on him and he does a face plant into the carpet. He's still as happy as ever -- just a sweet, loving little guy. Sophia is a proud big sis. I told her this morning that it was a big day for Nate and I promptly heard her run to daddy and say "Daddy, Daddy, Nate is 8 months old!!!" She loves her little brother and he absolutely adores her. We returned from an awesome camping trip this past weekend. We camped on the Santiam River. The weather was gorgeous and the water was chilly, but refreshing. Went on lots of hikes, played frisbee and football, splashed in the river and roasted marshmallows. Although Sophia proclaimed at the end of the trip that she doesn't like camping, she appeared to have a wonderful time. Ahhhh...the joys of parenting an almost 3-year-old :-). Pics to follow....
