Nathan's Crawling Debut

For your viewing pleasure - and the parent's joyful and sad reinforcement that the little fella is growing up too fast.

We will be leaving friday for the mountains of CO, pictures will be posted if we don't forget the camera, or as Sarah says "...if we survive the jeep trails."

New boots and hat, getting ready for hunting season!

Bed hog!

And he is crawling!! A new video will hopefully be posted soon!

Nine Months

Our big boy is getting bigger by the day...The nine month milestone has been reached!! Nathan remains a happy boy, full of smiles and laughs. He is close to crawling, but thankfully has not made it there yet.

22 Days!

Nathan is ready for some OSU football!

Thanks for the hat, Lucas!

Trying out video post

Nathan uses it more than his mom does. (not that she needs it , of course)

New Experiences

Many folks go their whole lives without the chance to meet a Sphynx. Not so for the son of two veterinatians! Nathan got to meet some hairless kittens at the clinic on Tuesday. He LOVED them. He was absolutely facinated with their ears and little smooth bodies.

Working Out and a Recipe

Nathan's new means of beefing up his baby body is to push his gym supports up with his legs.

It is hilarious!

And it has been ages since I posted a recipe, so here is a Paula Deen Squash casserole...A good, old southern treat!*

2 c cooked, mashed squash

2 c Ritz cracker crumbs

1 c evaporated milk

1 c shredded cheese

1 c chopped onion

2 eggs, lightly beater

1 t salt

1 t pepper

Pinch of sugar

6 T butter

Place squash in a large bowl. Add cracker crumbs, milk, cheese, and onion and stir well. Stir in eggs, salt, pepper, sugar, and butter, and pour into a greased 1-qt casserole. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.

Mine was actually nothing like this as I used zucchini because I found a HUGE one hiding from me in the garden, did not have Ritz crackers, and thought 1 c of cheese and 6 T of butter was insane. But it still turned out delicious, so feel free to experiment!

Forbidden Fruit

Nathan is all about electrical cords...He is drawn to them from across the room.
