Catching up...

Nathan continues to make progress towards becoming a big boy. He still only has his two bottom teeth, but he is making other progress. He got a walker for Christmas, and he has finally figured out walking with it. Now, he can't make any turns on his own and so runs into walls and furniture and gives up unless you're there to redirect him, but it's still more than he could do two weeks ago. Here he is cruising the front room (I love that he figured out how to bring his puppy along for the ride).

Nathan's other current favorite game is to empty out his toy bin (which I have, of course, just filled with his previously-strewn toys) and climb in to play. I'm not quite sure why I even bother cleaning up since he's just going to make a mess of everything in fifteen minutes.


Nathan also continues to idolize his daddy. All day long, he asks, "Dada? Dada?" As in, where is daddy? When is he coming home? He found Chad's fleece the other day, and he would not be pacified until I'd put it on him so he could be just like Dada.

Nathan also feels that we should live in a pants-optional world. He hates to wear pants, and if he can figure out how to do so, takes his pants off at any given opportunity. It's a good thing we live in the South.
