Creepin' and Crawlin'

It is official...the Nate Dawg is crawling!
Okay, he still rolls/creeps/skoots the majority of the time, but yesterday, he actually CRAWLED many times in the process! Of course, its still not fast enough for his liking so now he is also trying to get on his feet...but, doesnt quite understand that he can't use his hands, so he ends up on his hands and feet, and a bridge type position. Then frustration occurs because he cant move in that position (as seen above).

OH, and another update...he has another tooth! It is his upper left tooth, and it isnt quite in yet, but you can sure see it coming! No wonder he has been a drooling fool the last week or so! :)

Oh and while I am at it, I might as well just update a few other things that I hadnt gotten the chance to yet...let's see...

Books
Nathan LOVES books. Well, he no longer likes to just eat books (except the Baby Einstein book that Grand Mom Gerwing gave him. He LOVES to eat that book so we have banned it indefinately. Although, half of it is gone anyhow.), he now really enjoys being read a book. His favorite thing to do is sit in my lap while I read him a book. Its not just any old book either, he doesnt much like the books with actual stories, he prefers the simple books that just have pictures of animlas or other kids, or letters and colors. He is a simple kind of guy...;)

Cats
Nathan started noticing the cats a few months ago, but now he REALLY notices them and giggles when they come around. Lucky for us, and for the cats, they dont get too close...except Kitty. Kitty is so attention starved that she is brave enough to let Nathan "pet" her. She rubs up against him and WANTs attention from him, however Nathan normally grabs and yanks her, which isnt good. Kitty is a VERY good cat though, as she has never been agressive to him. She just sits there and takes it like a champ. This morning, he was testing out his new crawling skills and started crawling after her...she was a little uneasy about that, but I think she liked the attention.

YEAH!!!
Nathan has learned to clap his hands whenever we say "Yeah!". Or when he sees someone else clapping. The other morning, while getting ready for the gym, Regis and Kelly was on and Nathan was playing on the floor...when they introduced Regis and Kelly he saw everyone clapping, so he started clapping too! It was quite entertaining and one of those moments that the video camera should have been charged and ready to go!

Copy Cat
Nathan is such a copy cat. He will click his tongue if you do it first, or stick out is tongue after you do it. It is entertaining. He as started wrinkling his nose when he smiles or laughs, I think because I make that face to him a lot. Its fun to see what kinds of faces and noises he can make.

Thats all I can muster up right now...per normal I am sure I am forgetting something important...
