New Milestones

Since being here in Alaska, Nathan has gone thru a couple of milestones in only 3 weeks. He has learned how to climb the stairs, but can't figure out how to go back down them. Even after countless times of us showing him how. It'll come one of these days. Two more teeth have also broken through. The lateral I tooth on the left and the central I tooth on the right. When they're all the way down, it'll look like he has fangs. The other 2 I teeth are slightly showing through the gums. Shouldn't be too long before we see those break. He's had a rough go at the teething as we think it's waking him at night. Lots of drooling and very red cheeks, you almost want to pinch them! Now, he's learning how to walk. He takes a couple of steps
at a time and then falls. There's the odd time where he may get up to 10 steps or so before falling. Maybe by his 1st birthday he'll be in a sprint, and we'll be on our toes! Plus, Nathan enjoys a good meal.Especially when he feeds himself. The messier the meal, the more he enjoys it, I'msure. He can certainly eat up a stormwhen he wants to. The little angel is trying to be a big help, with dishes, vacuuming, and laundry, but I think he gets sidetracked along the way.

Just having a look out the front window. A new favorite past time. It helps that daddy's guitar case is there as a stool.

2 Countries, 8 Provinces, & 7 States

It was a long journey from Halifax, NS to Anchorage, AK. 24 days on the road and a bunch of miles behind us. We had a great time visiting with friends and family along the way. Our only regret is that we couldn't make time for everyone. We arrived in Anchorage June 30th and moved into our new house July 2nd. It was nice not having to pack up every morning and driving for another 6 hours. We have settled nicely and all boxes are unpacked. Now, it's just a matter of getting organized. Nathan especially loves his new room, as there is lots of room to play and make a mess. Not long after we moved in, did he figure out how to climb the stairs. Still no luck in going back down. Just yesterday he cut another tooth on the top, with 3 others closely behind. Please feel free to browse some of our road trip pictures in the gallery.
