Momma's Thoughts
This is such a fun (with some challenges) stage!! He's just soo curious, but can now usually point or lead us to what he wants. He tries to keep up with his siblings so he can usually be found with one of them... although he still wanders off!!
It's great that he's already learning how to be a little independent by showing us what he wants, but he still enjoys some snuggling when he first wakes up!!
As I respond and spend time with Nate each day, I am reminded how important it is to start "training"!! While he's opinionated.... on things around that he is NOT to touch, I can see his little mind making decisions about whether to obey or not!! Sometimes he'll give a fuss or proceed to touch it anyway... yikes... other times he backs down! But I noticed that when I quickly correct him I usually don't have to go it again.
It shows me the importance of staying on top of training and disciplining Nate now while it's "easier" and he's learning what is right and wrong!!
And we all know training is a LONG season.... LOL!! I type that as one of my older ones is doing their own "fussing".... totally not cute when they are older :( Yep, definitely making it a priority NOW!!

Hahaha.... I laughed out loud at the picture of him caught red-handed. He has this look of "What?! You caught me??" haha. So cute.
He is entirely too cute for his own good! Espically with the zhu zhu pets, that face is priceless!
So cute.
Glad to hear Owen isnt the only one who hates his teeth to be brushed. HE FIGHTS US. But its getting better, slowly...
Your video says private btw ;-) so I cant view it.
Those curls are gorgeous!
He looks like such a little monkey up on that dresser. Too funny!
Oh and I heard "ball" also!
So cute. Growing up too fast.
