Nate, One year old

My how the time does fly. Between the needs of two kids and Walter, trying to keep the house clean, and all the other things going on right now that I can't talk about, I haven't really found the time to get too reflective on the last year, other than the painfully obvious, 1) that was quick & 2) He seems so big now.

Nate's been a wholly different animal than his sister was, from appetite to sleep paterns. He's shown a real penchant for climbing anything with a handhold, and will fearlessly fling himself headfirst off any precipice. Our house is too small to put him in his own room, and until he sleeps better, I don't see how we can put him and Mia together. Certainly we look forward to the idea of sleeping more than a few hours at a stretch, but every now and then it's nice to just fall asleep with the boy in my arms. He'll be half gone, reach high with one tiny fist and offer a tiny gentle punch to my cheek, smile, then start snoring.

But I digress. You're here for the video and pictures. So without further ado..

And should you not have sound, or the video breaks down...
