Did I give birth to a baby boy or a puppy? Judging by the sounds I heard issuing from the baby monitor this morning you might guess puppy! Nathan has learned how to growl and it has quickly become his favorite form of communication. The dogs are not quite sure what to think of it, but don't seem to be too upset by it. Nathan is also quickly learning to grasp and reach for toys (and dogs). The dogs stay mostly out of reach. He loves his activity seat and banging his keys on the table to make lots of noise. He has decided that solid food is much better than his bottle. Yesterday he rejected his bottle and continued to cry until he got his solid food. But as much as he loves his food, whatever the adults have ALWAYS looks better. He watches every bite and sip we take! I can already envision the huge grocery bill we will have once he is a teenager!
Today Nathan met his cousin Aiden, who is about 2 months older. Aiden is my cousin Landra's son. We got together while she and Aiden are in town for a short visit from California. We also took advantage of the fact that Aiden's grandpa (my uncle Phil) was in town from Texas and got him in on the party! Nathan and Aiden had a great time playing on a blanket on the living room floor. Nathan was thrilled to see another baby and spent the whole morning talking and growling at Aiden! They posed for pictures (I will post one later), and shared toys. Nathan was so busy playing that he skipped his nap without even a hint of a melt down. He played so hard that he crashed and took a good nap within minutes of Landra and Aiden leaving.
