What We're Watching For:

• It seems like he hasn't gained anything in the last few months... I know part of it is because he's soo active!!! So I'm figuring out ways to get more protein and fat into his diet!
• He's attempting to climb on everything... somethings just can't be moved
• Nursing less.... (Momma's not ready for this!!)
• Drooling again... more teeth??
• Enjoying his paci
  

Momma's Thoughts

This last month has been such a delight with Nate!! He's such a content little man when his basic needs are met. Sure, he gets into EVERYTHING, but he does it happily:)

Part of this contentment is his age and the other part, we think, is his personality:) He has the sweetest spirit and he's quite the comedian as well.... especially if he knows he has an audience:)

It's just soo much fun to see him changing each day, taking more steps or babbling a few new sounds! He's getting older!!

While Nate is changing, it's also soo much fun to see his siblings adapting to his changes;) We've pulled out more older baby toys for Nate and it's ones the kids remember playing with! So it's been funny watching them play on a whole new level. Just the interaction is precious!!


Onto a new month.... the last month of his 1st year!! Oh, it's gone soo quickly but the end of the year is soo sweet as we have a cute, sweet little boy toddling around making messes and smiles wherever he goes;)
