What a month!
In short, we were all sick most of the time, Yuck! Then we had a few fun things happen, Day out with Thomas for Nate and Momma and Dada. Had fun with friends and family and then ended the month with a fun Easter Sunday.Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Milestones - Couch cruising and mobile to the extreme!
Liam - you are way more mobile now! You happily stand up every occasion you get. You use the coffee table, window sill, tv stand, etc... and fall down occasionally. We keep putting ice on your head, either the left or right side of the forehead. You are learning more and more how to let go and sit down! Your sit to stand has been one of your favorite things to walk around with. You are even taking steps while holding our hands. Slow down big boy! You are also eating lots of table food ( Nate calls it people food :)) in fact, you prefer it. There is hardly anything left on the list we haven't tried yet. I'm so proud of my good eater. I love that we can now take you out to eat with us and bring nothing but a bib and spoon.
Playing together - Oh, its happening finally! You and your brother are playing together, of course supervised because it can get a little rough. But its so nice to see!
Check up time!
You went to the doctor for a 9 month checkup last Monday. You are 28-1/2" tall now and 18.1 lbs. So still a little guy, just long and skinny!
Social Butterfly Nate! - Since the weather warmed up a little more (after a few cold snaps last month) we have taken out the stroller more. Nathan, you are doing so much better on your balance bike. The only disadvantage is that you still love to stop all the time to look at nature. While I love how perceptive you are and answer the million questions you have, sometimes I wish we could have a more brisk pace! I guess your momma isn't as good as stopping to smell the roses as she should be. You love saying "hi" to all our neighbors as we pass and then talking their ear off! Sometimes we can understand all the conversation but often times the poor person just says,"well, nice talking with you buddy!" and goes on. I love how sweet and friendly you are. My social butterfly!
Superbug hits- Our family and close friends at church all caught a horrible stomach virus. We kept getting it despite repeatedly cleaning and disinfecting the house. Your poor Dada got it the last time and it was hard! Lots of laundry, pedialyte, and plain toast this past month. I'm so glad everyone is back to normal. We had to miss your cousin's birthday party, church & small group a few times. (Anywhere there could be kids)

We did, however, get some outside help from your Gigi a few times.

Visiting friends - We celebrated Momma's birthday out at a restaurant and both of you were so good! Then later we had a wonderful visit with some awesome friends ( almost like family). Nate you loved running around watching the cats run from you and checking on the fire in the fire pit. Liam, you loved playing with their soft blocks and banging on the empty coffee cans. It was a nice time for all!
Day out with Thomas! It was wonderful just having you, Nate and getting to visit one of your favorite characters on TV, Thomas the Tank Engine. You had so much fun and only were scared once when we tried to get a photo of you next to Sir Topham Hat. You even got your first tattoo! It was of Diesel 10 - your favorite villain! The train ride was your very first and you loved it. We also had a great time eating burgers, just the three of us, afterwards.

Easter was fun but chaotic! Nathan you LOVED running around at church collecting eggs. Then we all had fun playing in the backyard at Gigi and Grandpa's house and looking at our Easter baskets. It was so nice to see family and hang out for a bit.
