A week ago yesterday....

Our little boy turned one!

There is so much to say about our year with him. It's interesting to us that although we of course loved him dearly since the day he was born (well truthfully conceived!), he felt a little bit like a stranger to us. In the past year his personality has started to reveal itself. Nate Bean is clearly a little person with his own place in our family. He is curious, busy, funny, and just so musical. He loves his yo-baby yogurt but detests spinach and potatoes. Sometimes before he falls asleep, Nate gets super silly and can end up in a fit of giggles. Favorite toys include butterfly, dad's nose, the big white spoon and of course the mirror. He's a talker too --- Dadadadada and some new monkey noises too!

We can't imagine our days without our sweet Bean.
We love you Nate!
