Nathan 19.5 months
My little baby isn’t so little anymore! It seems like just the past few weeks he’s really grown and changed. He seems more mature, if that’s possible. He has added many new words to his growing vocabulary. He says balloon, Emmy, Mimi, KK, BooBoo, MaMa, Grampy (says Beeby), Nonna, bo bo for brother, Hi Mommy, Hi Daddy, Night Night Mommy, Night Night Daddy, I love you (not quite clear but I can tell what it is), Bye Bye Nonna, Uncle dud, Mubbs, Mack, Laura, Jamie, Zoe, Lilly, shoe, cheese, popcorn, cupcake, nose, toes, kite, circle, star, moon, hot, up high, ear, hair, and lots of animals names and sounds. When you ask him what a dog or a pig says he wrinkles up his nose and makes a snorting sound. It’s funny! Last night he went into his room and pointed at his crib and said “night night” so I put him in it and he laid down. He also says paci. He uses the paci when he takes a nap or sleeps at night but doesn’t get to use it any other time. He loves shoes. He will go get our shoes out of our closet and bring them to us to put on. I bought him a new pair the other day and I tried them on his feet when we got home and he wouldn’t take them off. He cried when I did and went and got them and brought them back to me to wear again. He’ll eat fruit but not vegetables. I guess I need to start pureeing them and hiding them in his food so he’ll get some of the nutritional stuff he needs! He likes apple juice which he calls something like Appey Ju. He’ll pick up the pretend phone and say “hello?” He has really enjoyed swimming in the pool this summer. He isn’t afraid to get his head or face wet. If he’s in the baby pool and trips and his head goes under water he just stands right back up and doesn’t freak out. He is a little stuntman and likes to climb up things. He also will try to do anything Noah does, which isn’t always a good thing! They are starting to wrestle more and chase each other around the house. If he gets mad at Noah he will pull his hair. We are working on that one. He loves his teachers at school, Ms. Laura and Ms. Jamie, and he has a crush on Audrey. Overall, still easygoing and happy! We couldn’t ask for a sweeter baby!
