Nate through the years

I spent this week in Switzerland attending standards meetings.  While I was there, I started to look through the old pictures stored on my laptop.  I found so many pictures that I had almost forgotten existed. 

Since I started this blog after Nile was born, I have never shared many of the pictures of when Nate was little. 

Nate turns 7 this weekend, and so I thought it was an appropriate time to look back at how he's grown and changed.  My baby isn't such a baby any more. Here are a few of the pictures I found.

Novak at Six Months!

Becky and I took Novak to get his pictures taken on Sunday.  Here are a few of my favorites.

You can't see it well in these two shots, but this is a little one piece summer outfit with a letter "n" on the front.  It's really cute - and he's almost too big for it!  I was glad I pulled it out for pictures because we may not be able to wear it much this summer...

Novak is one of the happiest babies I know.  Reminds me of Nate.

Had to get at least one shot of him in nothing but a cloth diaper.

I love this diaper!

Why Nile hasn't been seen much on the blog lately...

I thought that last post deserved some explanation.

This is his typical response to a camera.

Instagram

I found a new photo app for the iPhone that changes regular pictures into cool, vintage-y shots. Here are a few of my "experiments."

Photos by Nile

A view from Nile's perspective

Last night at the wedding Nile wanted to use my camera phone to take
pictures. Little did I know he would take 86 pictures! But they are
easily deleted. I thought I'd share a sampling with you all.
