9 Months

This month has been all about teething and being sick.  Whoa, what a month!  You just finished round 3 of antibiotics for a list of infections including 3 ear infections in the last 2 months.  Next step, tubes-just like sister had.  You have not been sleeping for anything!  I finally saw your first tooth coming in last night-finally!

You are incredibly active, climbing and crawling on and in everything.  You are learning to stand on your own.  You are so proud of yourself once you realize what you are doing.  You are sooo happy all the time.  You love to be tickled and daddy knows right where to get you!  You still adore your sister and watch her every move.  She is so sweet to you most of the time:)

I love the way you light up a room.  You are far from quiet, so everyone knows where you are at all times!

You love to rock, which I am grateful for. When you are super tired, you will let me rock you right to sleep.  Getting you dressed is still a task we are perfecting!  You can't be still for a second and it drives me crazy!

You've had some special time with daddy this month watching football and playing.  He loves the fact that when he holds you, you sit still and chill.  What's up with that buddy?

Sister gave you your first french fry this month, and of course you loved it.  Other than that, you still only eat baby food and Puffs which you could eat a whole can of if I let you!

I am really enjoying the holidays with a little one again.  Something about a baby and Christmas just seems right ;)  You love our Christmas tree a little too much so we've had to really watch you.  Thanksgiving was lots of fun with all the family at the farm.  We also had a chance to visit with Mimi and Granpa and Paw Paw.  You had a fun time with your cousins and enjoyed being outside in the leaves!

I do love everyday with you Nathan.  You are such a well adjusted child and love people.  You make waking up in the mornings such a joy.  I love you much.

I have tons of pictures to post but this will have to do for now. My little baby girl turned 3 this month and it is killing me!

8 Months

It has been tough to keep up with this but I only have a few months left until my little man turns one so why stop now?

Little Nathan,

Daddy's babies

Just a few weeks ago, we left you and sister with Aunt Phyl and Aunt Peggy while mommy and daddy went on a beautiful (much needed) vacation to Wyoming.  I was super nervous but you did great while we were gone.  Only one trip to the doctor :(  Looks like you had a double ear infection and needed lots of TLC from mommy when we got home.

You are surely getting more mobile if that is possible.  I put you down and turn around and you are no where in sight!  You eat about 2 jars of food each meal and still drink 4-5 bottles a day.

Making new friends with Lexa

You still wear 6-9 months but I can see you are about to need 9-12 any day now.  You love to play and love your MDO teachers, Ms. Faye and Ms. Suzie.  I love watching you grow and learn new things. You are so smart. It's so fun to watch you figure out how toys work.  You've had a few falls recently. The start of many, I am sure.

Getting Daddy's food

You have the craziest hair so I just go with it.

I love that you still let me rock and sing to you when you are sleepy.

Your sister is still you best friend, but I am not sure she knows that.

Did not want to cooperate for pictures this time

I looking forward to the holidays with you and watching you with all your cousins.  I love you little man, like nothing else!
