Nathan had a new bruise to show off on our trip. I swear I CANNOT keep him from getting hurt! Even when he's doing the most innocent things, he finds a way to bang some part of his body, and I feel like I'm always having to "explain" his bruises! The latest one that you can kind of see in the following pictures is his first black eye. It doesn't look as bad in these pictures as it did a few days before. Nathan and I were playing on the couch, and he stood up to jump on me, but ended up jumping too far and hit the side of his face on the arm of the couch. It's padded, but I guess not enough. I know he's a boy and that he's going to get hurt, but that doesn't make it any easier on me. It really does hurt me more than it hurts him...he was ready to do the same thing again 5 minutes later. No more jumping on the couch Mr. Nathan!!!
Can you see his shiner? It's under his left eye.

Who's going to get the ball first? You know you both want it!
On Saturday morning, we got ready to head to New Braunfels. Doesn't Nathan look handsome?
Nathan loved showing off and being the greeter at the funeral. He really lightened the mood and made everyone smile. During the service, Nathan and I played outside and explored the different rooms of the church. Oh and we had to make a quick run to Walgreens because I noticed that I didn't have any diapers in my bag! I did pack them, but remembered Nathan pulling a few out right before we left Carrie's house. I thought to myself "I should put those back in my bag right now...I'll just do it in a minute...first I need to fix Nathan a snack..." And of course, I forgot.
After the service, we all went to a reception room for drinks and desserts. Nathan sampled every cookie there was, said hi to everyone he could get to talk to him, showed almost everyone his cute little tummy, danced, and pretty much did anything he could to get attention. He was in the best mood! Then Carrie and I took him outside to run around...and take more pictures.
Nate and Auntie Carrie
"I love your earrings Auntie Carrie. I think Mommy should borrow them :)"
We then headed to Debbie and Fred's house for some family time. While I was getting all of our things organized and fixing Nathan a drink, Carrie said she would take care of Nathan. When I got back, this is what I found! Nathan was soaked but having so much fun!
Luckily I had a change of clothes for Nathan. That's what Aunts are for right? They let you do all of the fun things that Mommies don't!
Nathan's only nap that day was in the morning, on the way to New Braunfels. I was so worried that he would be very grouchy as the day wore on and tried to get him to take a second nap, but he wouldn't. I think he was worried he'd miss out on something fun. We didn't head back to Austin until 9:00 that night! Surprisingly though, Nathan stayed happy the whole time. He did fall asleep as soon as we turned the car on. We really had a wonderful time, and I'm just hoping that I can get my head together and stop forgetting things!

We had such a fun time, didn't we Nate?! I just KNEW mommy would say something about me letting you splash in the pool.....that was fun....and FUNNY to see mommy's face when she realized you were wet. I bet Mama would've done the same thing....right Mama? Nate, give mommy a hug and tell her it's o.k. that she forgets everything....we still love her! :-)
