15 new things with Nate

OK this is the 3rd time I am trying to post this on my new computer. I keep hitting the mouse pad thing and I keep erasing it! UGH....I was almost done last time.

So I have been a couple days behind posting this. Shoot I am behind on so many things lately. My piles keep getting bigger but I just don't have the energy and haven't been feeling good lately. I have thank you cards since June I haven't done, the house is a wreck, closet's need to be cleaned. But the good thing is Nate is getting well taken care of and is eating every day:). But it is all worth getting behind to bring a new member to our family. Hopefully 2nd trimester is good to me:).

Nate went to the Dr today for his 15 month check up. He is doing very well growing. He also showed me what to look for 18 months because the next one is really important we get the check marks because signs of autism. Thankfully he has 1/2 of them checked already. Makes me feel really good!

Stats from today:

Weight 24.8 lbs (gained over 2 pounds since 12 months old)
Height 32.5 inches (grew 1.5 inches from 12 months old)
Head 50.8 cm (grew a little over an cm form 12 months old)

15 new things about Nate:

1. Spitting is staying on here until I figure out how to get rid of this bad habit. I have solved to stop throwing sippy cup and other things but I am stumped on this one.
2. Walk backwards
3. Climb on the couch, toy box, chairs, and the slide. He loves to climb and would rather do that than play with his toys.
4. Words he knows: duck, cow (love hearing him say it), Thank you, Hello, hi, Daddy, and I am now Na Na
5. takes the toothbrush and tries to brush his teeth
6. Takes the comb and brushes his hair
7. Takes the phone and walks around with it up to his ear and talks and talks and talks
8. Ask him where his head his and he pats his head
9. Sing twinkle twinkle and when I say "out comes the sun" he puts his hands over his head
10. now pushes cars or toys with wheels back and forth on the floor instead of throwing them
11. When Gabbie is digging her ball in her towel he goes over and gets the ball out and runs and laughs. He has so much fun playing with her. Thank goodness Gabbie is so mellow with him. He loves to grab her nose and I know it hurts but she takes it like a champ.
12. Loves to eat dog food again. I thought we were over this one but it has come back. I have fished dog food out of his mouth twice last week.
13. The vacuum he got for his birthday is one of his favorite toys and he now pushes it back and forth like mommy:)
14. Every day he plays with this animal puzzles that make noise and he calls everything a COOOW
15. He now plays with his playground set in the backyard like a big boy. He loves to climb up the slide. Also he loves the fort by going inside of it and close the door and open it.

Now onto Tater tot--

Tater has really not made mommy feel very well lately. Sunday I barly got off the couch. But this afternoon I am feeling like myself agian. I hope it doesn't come back. I hate feeling like that. I would love more energy too. Went to the dr last week and everything looked great. Tater was 7 weeks old. Due date is Mid March. I go Sept 2nd for the 12 week ultrasound for Down's. Then go back to the Dr Sept 11th for a status of the ultrasound. This dr office is really big but I really do like my new dr. I am also excited about delivering very close to home. That way Nate can come see me anytime he wants too without worrying about traffic.

I don't have any pictures to share because I have no energy to take them. I will try to do better with that this week and next and post some new things he is doing.
