Nathan the fish

Nathan went on his first swimming adventure this week with Oma, auntie Suzanne and Alexis. The pool we went to had these great floating seats for the babies to sit in, but Nathan was more content to sit in my lap, and play with a ball. We were having a great time until I decided to dunk his head under water - he wasn't a huge fan of that move! I'll have him swimming laps in no time.

Here's my new favourite picture! Nathan wearing uncle Steve's fireman's hat - notice how it matches the fire truck on his sweater. Maybe we can submit this picture for the next fireman's hottie calendar - I think the chicks would go for this cutie.
Last week it was Paul's birthday - I even dressed Nathan in a special shirt for the day which says "my daddy loves me!". I bet Paul never thought he'd be getting the Jungle Book DVD for his birthday - Nathan picked out that present.

There's a whole story behind this shot - in the evenings we have a regular bedtime routine: when Nathan starts getting crabby we take him upstairs for a bath, and afterwards he sits with Paul at the computer and listens to some music and watches the abstract screen saver. Nathan currently has a crush on Christine Aguilera - whenever she's singing he is absolutely mesmerized - try as we might, he will not look away from the screen!
