Emma's new pet!

Just kidding, it's a rubber snake! She's been having fun finding old toys at Granddad's and Grandmom's house!

Nathan is 17 months old!

Today Nathan is 17 months old!  Where have the days gone??  Nathan is saying a few more words.  He says "de-de" for kitty, and can make correct animal sounds for cow, chicken, duck, pig, sheep, horse, dog, cat and even elephant and tiger!  He says "zide" for outside, and "ni-ni" for goodnight.

His10th tooth cut through on Feb. 18, the top left molar.  So we are half way to Nathan having all 20 baby teeth!

Nathan loves to play with his cars and trains and makes the cutest sounds to accompany the vehicles.  He also has several pull toys and he loves these!  He walks backwards so he can see the toy that's following him.  He has a wooden alligator and a circus train.  We also have a pull puppy but he's not really into that one, it doesn't pull along the carpet very well.

A typical day for Nathan begins about 6:20, when he wakes up and climbs all over me to wake me up!  We come downstairs quickly and quietly so we don't wake up Emma.  Nathan plays or watches a show while I try to wake up.  Nathan really is not a breakfast eater.  He might have some Cherrios or other cereal about 8. If it's a school day for Emma we take her at 9am, then usually come home to play.  He'll have a snack about 10am and then he takes his nap about 11:30.  Usually he will sleep for 1.5-2 hours, then he'll eat lunch after his nap.  We have to pick up Emma from school at 1pm, and then we try to play outside if the weather is nice. Nathan loves to be outside.  Sometimes we are outside for 2-4 hours, and we'll still be playing when Tony gets home.  Nathan likes to play with chalk, and still tries to eat it quite a bit.  He also has a little ride on toy outside and Emma's old tricycle.  In the backyard we have the swing set and toddler climber, and the sandbox, so he has fun back there too.  We usually eat supper about 5:30 or 6pm, then bedtime is at 7pm.  Nathan is usually asleep by 7:20.

We just love our little Nathan so much!  He's a joy and makes us all so happy!

17 months old today!!
