Stop And Smell The Flowers

Nathan has learned to "smell". He is very good at it. He even makes the "smell" noise with his nose.

Just A Boy With His Shoe

Proof positive that the boy walks around with his shoe on his hand.

The Thing With The Shoe

A few weeks ago, I proudly commented to a friend that Nathan does not have a "lovey" (for those of you that don't know that term...a lovey is a stuffed animal, blanket, or toy that a lot of kids fall in love with and HAVE to carry it everywhere. They just cannot live without it, and it is the end of the world if it gets lost, left or breaks.). Well, I should have said "Nathan does not have a lovey...yet." because in the last few days he has really taken to a couple of things. The first thing that has major potential to being his lovey is this little bear/blanket that "Auntie Val" bought him when he was born. Its half bear, half blanket and it has his name and birthday on it. I have put this bear/blanket ON his bed out of his reach to keep it nice, as a keepsake. Well, he has begun to take it down and sleep with it. We are now to the point where he HAS to have it when he takes a nap and goes to bed...and he has started wanting to take it out of his bed and bring it with him downstairs. It is VERY cute by the way! He just hugs on it and loves on it.

The second "potential" lovey is his....shoe. Yes, one of his little crocs. Yesterday, he started carrying one shoe around wherever he went...and he wouldn't just carry it, he would put it on his hand and "carry" it on his hand. I desperately need to get a picture of this, as it appears this is going to be a keeper (he woke up this morning looking for his shoe and immediately put it on his hand while eating breakfast etc...).

Tickle Me...

SO, Nathan's "Auntie Val" sent him a Tickle Me Elmo TMX for his birthday...at first Nathan didn't really want anything to do with him, but he is warming up to him and starting to giggl when Elmo does his thing.

For the record, I find Elmo hilarious!!

And He's Off...

Its official. Nate Dawg is walking...

Sprouting Out of Nowhere

I was changing Nathan's diaper this morning, and he was laughing at something...and something in his mouth caught my eye. Hmmm...I wondered, what the heck is that???? I looked closer and realized that HE HAS HIS TOP MOLARS (or however you spell the back teeth in your mouth). Uh, yeah...they are through the gums and well on their way. Right now, they look like fangs back there...

BUT when the heck did that happen? This child is sprouting teeth all over the place. In the last 3 weeks or so, he has gotten 4 more teeth in the front (two on top and two on bottom), and apparently two in the way way back.

I give him 6 months and he will have a full mouth.

He certainly isnt a baby anymore, folks.
