24 months and new things with Nate

I can't believe this is my last post on new things with Nate. The past 2 years have been so incredible with him. He is such a loving child. He is the apple of my eye. We celebrated his birthday with Grandparents and Aunts with a "Icky" party. It was a huge success and Mommy and Daddy made his cake from scratch. Turned out pretty cute.

Today we had his 2 year check up. He actually did so well with the shots I am shocked. Hardly cried at all. It was Wes that was having a meltdown at the time we were doing everything. He didn't grow that much since 18 months. The dr said with all his stomach issues he is glad that we haven't decreased our numbers. I knew he has grown a little but not a lot. They didn't give me his % because I think Wes was melting so bad. Here are his stats:

Height: 34 3/4 inches
Weight: 26 pounds
Head: 52 (I think this is what she said)

Here are the 24 new things about Nate:

1) Throwing when angry has begun. Watch out he might have a professional baseball arm like his daddy ;)
2) He is coming up with new words all the time. On his birthday with my dad and stepmom we were talking outside and all of the sudden clear as day Nate says "Hey Everybody"
3). One night I was trying to get a bowl down and they came tumbling down. I yelled out "I got it!". Well this is all that Nate can say now very clearly "I GOT IT MA MA"
4). We started swim lessons and he is the only boy in class. He really doesn't care about kicking and blowing bubbles. He wants to do his own thing. But he is jumping off the side very cautiously.
5). He now has to sleep with his sleepsack backwards during nap time. He knows how to take it off and is almost able to get out of the crib. Mommy is not ready for big boy bed yet since she has to go back to work very soon.
6). His new thing with Wesley is to go up to him and move his arms and sing/talk to him.
7) He likes patting Wesley on the head very gently and say "ok Wesley"
8). Now when we go to get him in the crib he runs back and forth and plays games for us to get him
9). His new phrase to go and catch him is "Going to get you". Funny because he runs away for you to chase him
10). He now knows the threats of time out. He will sit in it until you get him. He will give you a hug and say "orry Mama"
11). One day I was giving Wes a bath and he put foam letters in his bath tub for him. He picked them up and said the correct letters! I was speechless.
12). We put up letters in his room of his name and he constantly spells the letters.
13). He cut both of his top eye teeth in less than 2 weeks. That was sleepless nights.
14). Now when I take him to school he doesn't cry as much but he lays on the ground before going into the classroom
15). When we walk anywhere (store, yard) he will stop and just lay on the ground. Not really good when your in a parking lot and trying to cross the street.
16). Now likes to take his diaper off when you don't have anything over them.
17). He now can point to his knees. His favorite body part is still his toes.
18). He now likes to hide stuff. I found him putting things in the garbage, sticking things between the headboard and mattress and the washing machine. Makes life really interesting.
19). When he has something he isn't suppose to have he will run with it and hide it where he can find his first hiding place. Funny because I am right behind him and can see him.
20). Went to the petting zoo and he saw a sheep and he went "BAAAAAaaaa"
21). Now when he sees people he knows he will say their names: Maw (my mom), Gammy and Papa (brad's parents) and Kristin
22). When he is ready to go he looks at me and says "bye bye"
23). I caught him trying Gabbie's food again. He is such a picky eater but he will eat dog food. He did spit it out ;)
24). He will stand at the door with me when letting out Gabbie and he will say "Go Abbie. NOOOOOOWWW". Learned that from me ;)
