Nate is gradually starting to say more and more words. I think he is saying more that we understand, because he often talks in sentences, as if he is having a conversation. It is just that we can’t seem to understand what he is saying. He now says hi fairly frequently. Just yesterday [...]
So as you can tell. As time goes by its becoming harder and harder to maintain updates relative to Nathan. Its so hard for me to believe that its almost been a year already since he’s come into our lives.
In a nutshell, we went down to Florida last week to hang out with Angie’s brothers [...]
It is hard to believe that Nate is already 9 months old plus a few days. As Scott mentioned in the previous blog, Nate had his nine month doctor check up. This was the appt. where he did not have to get any vaccinations, but, he did need to have his finger pricked so [...]
So the last few days have been … well it depends on who you talk to. Nate would say, “AWESOME!! I’ve been crawling around and getting into all kinds of things and laughing constantly though it all. So much that I make mommy and daddy laugh with me too! But daddy makes funny faces sometimes, [...]
So Angie and I had a conversation the other day about the wisdom of posting personal information about ‘the boy’ online. As much as we’d like to share everything that happens with Nathan (if only to serve as a record of where were were and where we are), the age we live in suggests that [...]
Angie asked me to write up a few hints on things to do with Nathan when a friend watches him tonite. Granted, I went overboard and wrote up a whole howto on the subject. But now we have something to point people to in the future. …..
…hmmmm…maybe I should do something like this for the [...]
The last few nights the boy has just been freaky active. We’ll strip him down to his diapers and he’ll be happy as a clam for an hour or more. Just (happy) screaming and gurgles. Its great! And so much fun to interact with him during those times too. Tomorrow Angie claims she has some [...]
So Nathan was excellent as usual this past weekend. We took him on his first visit to Goshen College where Angie and I met and got our respective undergraduate degrees. We had a lot of fun wandering around the campus and seeing things we had heard changed. The updates they’ve made to the dorms are [...]
I felt it past due for a Nate update. He is getting so big. He has grown out of the 0-3 month clothes and is quickly growing out of the 3-6 month clothes. The actual size of the clothes really vary.
Some of the things that Nathan can do:
He grabs things and puts [...]
This past Monday Nathan seemed a little extra fussy. In the afternoon we even tried to go to a social gathering and he just couldn’t stop fussing. The fussing continued into the evening. During the night Nathan spent alot of time squirming in his sleep. During the squirms Nathan would let out [...]
