Clapping

Nate is getting so big. He's gotten into clapping - which he seems to have confused clapping with the sign for "more"(which has been helpful at mealtime - until now). But we're working on separating the two. He is babbling alot, making all sorts of new sounds, he says "buh" when we go to read a book. Sometimes as he's looking at books on his own he'll just say the B sound over and over quietly to himself. Its so cute! Here's a pix of him taking a bath at the lake - he loved the bubbles from the jets!

Little Steps

I can't believe how big Nate is getting! At 10 months old now, he's taken a few steps with his walking toy, and he cruises around no problem with us holding his hands. He's gotten tooth number two. He eats anything and everything we put in front of him and some things that we don't. We are very much enjoying his sweet spirit, he's such a happy little guy. We'll be going to the lake soon and if the water's warm enough he'll get his first "swim". If not soon, by the end of the summer at least.
I've had a couple of wedding gigs recently and another one in a few weeks. I'm enjoying doing wedding pictures and each one is more relaxed than the last for me. There is so much pressure with wedding pictures, but I'm feeling more comfortable and confident. Here is a collage from a friend of mine's wedding.
