He is so smart and regularly surprised us with his genius. While we were camping, he and I went on a little scavenger hunt. He was collecting rocks and counted all the way to 15 with his rocks. I couldn't believe my ears as I know I haven't been working with him that much on his numbers! He's just brilliant and we are so proud.

Nash counts
What a crazy weekend this was! We laid some new sod in the front yard, went camping and Nash counted to15 all on his own.

Nash's First Movie
Monster's University came out this weekend and we decided that would be a perfect film for Nash's first movie in the REAL theater.
Uncle Isaiah was in town, Jess had a day pass from the hospital and it was Sunday so Mimi, and Uncle Nic came with us as well.
Some of you may know, I have adopted a new philosophy to life: No Expectations. The more I realized that I was putting expectations on everything in my life, the more frustrated and sad I became that nothing and no one was able to live up to my ideas of how it should go in my mind. Therefore, the new philosophy was born!
As it relates to this story; I had no expectations of how Nash would react to something that Isaac and I enjoy so much: Movies! I figured, there is a chance that he will like it for ten minutes and then want to wander outside the theater or roam around and see how everyone else was enjoying the movie. As luck would have it, he absolutely loved the entire experience! As soon as the film started playing he was completely transfixed on the massive screen. Of course, we had movie popcorn and he delightfully ate a piece of popcorn every few moments throughout the entire movie. (He's his dad's son) He would dig his little fist in the bucket and munch as he smiled and laughed at all the great scenes. I hardly remember any of the movie myself because I was so wrapped up in how much he was enjoying his two year old self. I dare say one of the best things about being a parent is watching your children experience the things that you loved or still love.
All in all it was a great first experience and I can't wait to make it a regular family event.

Painting day
I love Thursdays and Tuesdays because I'm home with Nash. We had so much fun today! Santa had put some paints in Nash's stocking so we decided to try them out today. Boy did he create some masterpieces. He was naming all the colors and going full throttle with two paint brushes. After he had released all the creativity for the day, Nash picked up one of the papers and said "bibbit!" And I asked if it was a frog he painted and he replied "yep." Since it was the best painted frog ever, we displayed it on our wall. Nash was so proud and clapped as we hung it up. Love my little artist.
