Big Little Nate

Nate is growing so fast these days. With his vocabulary soaring, he now sometimes uses two word sentences. Dave and I counted last night that he knows and uses regularly, on his own 62+ words! Some of his favorites are: cookie, milt (milk), bye, momma, daddy, Ollie, no, snow, eat, more, outside, cheese, and ice. His first sentence was "Ollie outside" and yesterday he said "Snow outside." He has become quite polite by almost always asking for things with "please?" We just adore him.

Today, I took him to the gym with me so I could workout. It has a fun area for kids to play, and Nate did not even cry when I dropped him off. This is a big improvement since the first day of preschool. :) He is such a big boy! Speaking of big, he is now tipping the scales at 28.2lbs which is the 75% for weight. He sits at the 50% for height and his head is still off the charts big.

It is common for him to walk around the house talking on either a play phone, the real phone, or some object he is pretending to be a phone. He talks mostly to momma, daddy, and yayayaya (I think this is Yia Yia--his grandma). He also still looks and calls for Ollie. Ollie is his uncle Adam's dog (and Aunt Blake's too). He sure does love dogs and now "woofs" repeatedly when he sees one. Lucky for Nate, we will get to see Ollie this weekend at the lake.

Nate is getting some new teeth too. His canines are popping through, and he has kept a toy in the mouth for the past week to help alleviate the pain. Why does teething have to be so painful?

Well, I think this is good for an update for now.
