End of summer fun...

Well, we've had a few busy weekends lately but they've been a blast.  This picture makes me laugh because it's the one shot we tried to get of Nate at the state fair.  I wanted to leave but Joe had to see the giant pig...which weighed 1,450 pounds by the way, but Nate was not feeling it when we got there.  He had done great for 4 or 5 hours but he was ready to go.  He had just pinched our friends daughter Jacqueline...not on purpose...but I told him no, and then a complete meltdown happened and this is the shot we have!  I don't know why we didn't think to bring out the camera before that.

We ate lots of good food that's bad for you so that was fun. 
Nate's big enough to fit in some of his cammo gear so Joe is ecstatic.
Our friend Mary just had her baby Finn in August so they came up to pay a visit.
Here's Nate in his chair and Finn relaxing on the floor.
Nate's getting a closer look at Finn
Nate wants to wrestle and roll on top of Finn.
Nate is starting to get shocked and upset he is not the only baby in the world to be paid attention to.

Nate has just realized that Finn is wearing some of his clothes and he has not yet learned to share nicely.
I'm sure soon enough Nate and Finn will become fast friends!  Nate just needs to learn how to share and get along :)
I just think this double eyebrow raise shot is funny.  I like to be out and about doing things but it's weird when people stop you to look at your baby.  Sometimes I'm really not in the mood, especially with the overly touchy folks.  There are worse things in the world though aren't there?  Most people say he looks a lot like Joe but it's always followed with he has my eyes.  It's weird that there is such a consensus out there with the strangers of the world!
Nate has moved on to trying peas and apples.  I'd say of all his foods so far he is the biggest fan of apples and sweet potatoes.
Trisha's cat Henry was more intrigued by the peas than Nate was!
Over the Labor Day weekend, Joe, Nate, Trisha, Andrew and I went to Stillwater.  It's only about half an hour from our house and is on the river and is just a really pretty town.  We went to a wine tasting, walked along the river, and ate dinner along the river.  It was a blast!  Andrew was concerned about having a baby at a winery but there was another couple there with their son so we didn't feel too bad!
This is the lift bridge in Stillwater
Here's a gondola ride.
More shots by the river...
It was a great long weekend, now we're back to the grind!
