Hiking at Torrey Pines with Grandma

The beginning of our hike started by walking along the beach. It was a beautiful day!

On our way towards the mountain (hill, or whatever it was).

After the hike, we headed back down to the water so Bubs could feel the sand and water on his toes.

He was more interested in the Sea Gulls

"Hey Grandma, look at me!"

The water came to get us!

We had a very fun time. We hiked Torrey Pines the following day with Daddy too. It was a really nice hike...very popular. My sister and her boyfriend hike there often and also run it occasionally...they are crazy! After, we stopped at this fantastic Mexican place called "Alberto's" for carne asada burritos...yum yum!

Christmas

Nathan was very spoiled at Christmas. I took video of him opening presents at Moo's, but I am having trouble loading it...I will try again later. So, for now, I just have pictures from Grandma and Papa's and then Avo's house.

Nathan, Mommy, and Titi

Tired boy...not too interested yet.

Grandma and Papa got Nathan a cool school bus that sings, "The Wheels on The Bus."

Titi bought him this sweatshirt from Baby Gap. It was so soft he snuggled with it!

It was a little small though, so we went to return it but they did not have anymore...so sad.

Isn't he cute?!!

Titi and Nathan

So these two have the same birthday. This is my cousin, Justin...we call them "birthday brothers"!

Nathan and Papa!

Time to Catch Up: Playing with Grandma at Work

My Mom watches a little boy that is one day younger than Nathan. His name is Darren. I took Nathan to visit Grandma at work and to have some play time with Darren. The two of them did really well together. They did not "play" together but they did not hit each other either! Nathan also had dinner with Darren. His mom made rice, chicken and vegetables that were tossed in an Indian sauce that had a bit of curry in it. Nathan LOVED it. Our boy likes spice!

Time To Catch Up: Disneyland

On Thursday, December 16, Lisa (Jeff's Mom) took us to Disneyland! What a treat that was! Nathan did remarkably well. He even napped and slept through the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. We played in Toon Town for a while, and Nathan was able to run around and through all the character houses. We took Nathan on It's a Small World. That was really neat. There was so much to look at, poor Bubs did not know where to focus. He seemed to enjoy it though. Towards the end of the ride, he was clapping along with the music.

Too bad I had to take the picture far away. There are just so many people there!

Nathan and Mommy on his first carousel ride! He had a good time. He was petting his horse, and he had fun looking for Daddy every time we passed by.

(Horrible picture of Mommy) Nathan was scared of Pluto!

Nathan had fun playing at the houses in Toon Town

It is funny the areas we spend most of our time when we have kids! Toon Town it was!!

Yikes!

On our way home. Moo bought Nathan this lemur. Nathan thought it was a monkey so he kept making monkey sounds to it. We showed him a whole bunch of other stuffed animals, and this one was his favorite.
