Nate's new things

Wow he is doing so many new things lately. He is now using his walking toys. This all started last week. He only knows to go straight and doesn't know how to move it yet. But he is getting better and better each day. A couple days ago he took 4 steps but hasn't done it since. So I think in June I will have a walker!!! We shall see!!!

Tonight he got on his horse by himself. For days he stands behind it, holds on and jumps in place. Brad and I crack up because it doesn't look very nice from where we are standing. I got a picture of it because it is too darn funny.

Well while we were in NJ he cut both of his teeth beside his top front teeth. And yesterday he started with teething diapers again. I got a chance to look in his mouth and the eye teeth on top are coming in at the same time! He didn't nap good at all today! Ugh just when we get a break through we get more. I heard these are tough but all teeth for him have been tough. What is weird is he only has 2 bottom teeth and I do not see where he is getting more anytime soon. Funny how he will have 6 top and 2 bottom. I guess every child is different.

I have gotten him down to 1 night time bottle. I just haven't broken it away. The other ones were really easy. I am the one that is holding out. I am just going to miss the baby stage. But no worries I will do it by this weekend. I told myself by 13 months they were going to be gone.

Food-UGH Right now with these new teeth coming in he is refusing everything I give him. His favorite pick me up pasta's are not even cutting it. He has now learned to put his hand in his mouth and take the food out or just spit it out. The gagging/vomiting phase is almost gone since he knows how to get it out of his mouth himself. So right now I am struggling and frustrated because all I want him to do is eat on his own. But I am not going to stop until I win this fight! I seriously don't want a picky eater.

We are still working with words. No words yet but I can tell he is really studying what we are repeating to him. So I hope it is soon because I would love for him to start communicating to me.

The 3 things he knows what to do is wave bye bye, blow kiss and put the phone up to his ear when you say hello.

The thing that makes me smile most is when Nate and Daddy play chase in the walker. Brad will run around and Nate will get so worked up with laughter chasing him from the kitchen to the dinning room that he ends up getting hiccups. He loves chasing his daddy.
