Happy Birthday Nathan!

Kara and I were pregnant with Johanna and Nathan at the same time. Even though she was a couple thousand miles away in Pennsylvania it was still so special to share that time with her. I had Johanna then a month later (and one day!) we were greeted with spunky little Nathan.

Yesterday while Grandma was watching the birthday boy the kids and I along with my friend Katie and her daughter met at the park for some fun.

Nathan is so polite and sweet to his cousin. Here he was patiently waiting for Johanna to climb the stairs. He even said excuse me in his little voice that I love, I couldn't help but giggle at his adorable manners.

I wanted to get some pictures for Kara of our little play date but these kids were having so much fun I only seemed to get a bunch of their little rear ends!

JJ was there too :)

 The highlight for both kiddies were the swings.

Weeeeee!

Then we tried to big whopper swing. JJ and Nathan both reminded me of my Dad sitting in his recliner chair, they sure were cozy.

 Sharing the lady bug rocker. Of course by the time I got there to snap a picture they were starting to get back up. But boy were they having fun!

 After a little while I needed to take Johanna to the restroom for a bathroom break so we all started walking toward the rec center. Johanna was lollygagging a little and to our surprise Nathan turned around and ran back toward her to grab her hand. It was the sweetest thing ever!

They walked across the field hand in hand. Nathan was so proud of his chivalry. It was so precious!

 

 After our potty break we sat inside for a bit to eat our banana chips and teddy grahams snacks I'd brought along. We were relaxing right next to a huge window looking into the indoor pool. Nathan kept going over to the glass to look in on the swimmers. He then went up to Grandma and asked "Me go swim-min too?" after Grandma told him we can try and go next time when we bring our bathing suits he proceeded to try me then Katie. Poor little guy really wanted to go swimming! Kara, looks like you may have to take a trip to the indoor pool sometime soon :)

Thanks for sharing your birthday morning with us at the park Nathan! We love you so much!
