This is my sweet little nephew, Nate.Nathanael Judah McFarlin to be exact. He looks just like my brother-in-law, only with my sister's eyes. He is my older sister's first and only baby, although I am trying my best to convince her to have another! He has been the sweetest, easiest baby that I have ever encountered. Shortly after he was born, I felt a love for him as if he were my own. It was weird! But after some processing I realized it was because he is my sister's baby-her first. The family bond is so strong! What a blessing he is to all of us.
I prefer to shorten long names or give people nicknames, so at our house, we call him "Nate the Great" or "PorkChop" (don't ask...).
Last Monday, he turned one! We celebrated with them during a family dinner at DiCicco's-super yummy! I snapped these pictures while babysitting him the other day. I am looking forward to his official birthday shoot coming up soon, but I thought these were too cute not to share! Enjoy...
P.S. He loves to suck those fingers.
P.P.S. I could just eat him with a spoon! Love this little man.
What a great write up, Lori! Almost made me cry. Dave and I got to see him and Holls yesterday in Kingsburg on our way home from Fresno. (Yes, we were in Fresno for a very short and whirlwind of a trip). He was as adorable as ever! He is a huge blessing and joy! Thanks for sharing these pics! They are SO good!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Lori! You amaze me with what you can do with a lens!
