Cat Napping :)

I have a data entry job that I do from my computer at home. I am lucky to have a huge computer desk that is more than big enough to hold Adah's bouncy seat, so she naps there while I work sometimes. For some reason it always seems to be very cold in my office, so one day our cat Sophie was looking for a warm place to nap and apparently Adah looked cozy.

This was super cute to me because this cat will not let Nate near her and never did, even when he was little. When Adah woke up with the cat on top of her she just pet her very softly and Sophie stayed there and let her!! It was crazy to see this cat act like that because she is normally so skittish around kids and babies. They have napped like this several times since this day. Sophie doesn't play with Adah, but they are napping buddies. :)

First Pigtails!

I still cannot believe how much hair our sweet girl has! She is so pretty and that dimple can melt a heart. One Sunday morning I decided to try pigtails for church. When I showed Nate he said "That's Jade's hair." Jade is a friend of his that wears pigtails very often so I guess he thought she had it trademarked of something ;)

Painting projects

Nate did several painting projects over the past 2 months. The first one was a little canvas that he painted for Miss Michaela's (his sitter who he LOVES) birthday. I put these pictures backwards, but he started out with a paint brush and ended up with paint all over his hands.

Our second project was painting wooden picture frames as gifts for his grandparents and great grandparents. When we painted the canvas, I had decided that it would work better if we did one color at a time and let it dry before doing another color. That way the colors would not all mix and make brown. Nate's friend Jade came over and painted with him that day. Every time we gave one of the frames out he told everyone that he painted it with Jade.

The last project we did was wrapping paper. I just bought packing paper and let him paint it. I stole this idea from Jennifer Chang, so don't think I am too awesome. It did turn out pretty cool and I am kicking myself for forgetting to take a picture of the finished product!

Better late than never

I am aware that I am SOOO behind on this! Being that I just posted the Fall post and New Year's Day is 2 days away! Better late than never. I am going to try to get caught up soon so keep reading!
