Nathan is a changin'


Last night, we went out to eat at the Kartoffel Haus, which is a traditional German restaurant. Nathan had his nap right before we left, so he was WIDE awake while we ate. It seems like yesterday when he would sleep though anything we did and was a little quiet mouse....yeah....not so much!

He wanted to jump around on our laps the whole time! :) This all comes after his HUGE growth spurt this week. We got his Jumperoo in the mail on Tuesday and when we put him in it, he just toed the ground. Fast forward to Friday and he is FLAT FOOTED in it, he went up a diaper size (EUR size 4), is wearing 9 month clothes, AND his 6-12 month shoes are fitting much better. Remember, my little guy is only five and half months old! :-P

It makes me really sad, at the same time, because our families are missing these moments. I want his grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-grandparents, etc. to be able to see him hit milestones, but they are missing all of them. Sometimes it makes me want to cry, but I know that it is a sacrifice we have to make. The good thing is that our families are very close and when we get home in the summers, they will get to see him a lot. I can't wait!
