April Showers and March for Babies

During the month of April Nathan and I spent a little bit more time outside since it was a getting warmer. Since Nathan was walking a lot more on his own and get around a lot easier he liked to go to the playground and climb up the stairs and go down the slides. And he really liked to swing.
I did not take to many pictures during this month, I think I often forgot that he camera was in my purse, but I have tried to get better. Nathan also started to say more words, not too clearly but he says them, he started saying ma ma and da da more but he also started saying duck, kittie, fish, and he began to wave and say bye bye, though it sounds more like da da, :)

Pretty soon it was the March for Babies! On April 20th at 12:00 PM we went to Centennial Park to do the March. Our team's name was Nathan's Navigators and we ended up raising $705 for the March of Dimes. I also made T-shirts for our teams which was myself, Mike, My mom and Dad and of course Nathan, here are what the T-shirt looked like.

It was really a nice day, it was bright and sunny and not to hot but it was really really bright. We all had a really great time going to all the booths and talking to other parents of preemies. Nathan had a fun time running around the park and hugging various mascots. We all had a really great time doing the walk and we are planning to do it again next year. So if anyone is interested in doing the walk with us either here in Nashville or in your own city, it is a wonderful thing to do.












A few days later I held a playdate at my house, Nathan had a good time playing with his visitors and I enjoyed showing off our apartment. Overall it was a lot of fun and I plan to do it again sometime.
