Nathan is 13 months old!
Today Nathan is 13 months old! He's such a sweet and happy little toddler! He loves to be outside and play in the sand box, or just walk down the sidewalk. I've been taking the kids for walks in the stroller and he really enjoys it. It's nice to finally have some good weather to be outside.
He's obsessed with getting up on the couch and anytime I sit down, he's crying for me to put him up on the couch. When I do set him up there, he gets the biggest grin and runs to the end, where he tries to dive over the arm rest. I catch him by the ankle before he goes over of course! Most of the time I sit on the floor just to avoid that whole scene. I forgot how exhausting a toddler can be! I can't load or unload the dishwasher if he's awake, and I have to keep all the bathroom doors shut at all times! He loves to play in the tupperware/plastics cabinet in the kitchen, so it's always a mess from him getting the stuff out.
Nathan's interest in solid food seems to be waning. I'm getting a little frustrated with him, he won't even try most foods now. He just pushes it away or smears the food on his tray. I hope this is just a phase and maybe related to the extreme teething pain he's dealing with now. He must have the slowest moving teeth ever! He's got three on the top that have broken through the gum but they aren't fully descended yet. One more is about to break through, and then he'll have 6. Still 14 more teeth to go, and I'm not looking forward to the molars or canines.
Nathan received two ride-on toys for his birthday, and he's really loving them. He is getting really good at getting on and off on his own, and he loves to stand on the seat and point and talk to us. He can make the car go backwards by pushing his feet, but he's not yet discovered how to go forward.
Nathan is learning to brush his teeth. He mostly just chews on the brush but I'm trying to get the routine established of brushing before bedtime. We'll add mornings when he has more teeth!
Nathan is such a snuggler and loves to give hugs! He loves to hug Emma and roll around with her on the floor. He's talking more and more, although he doesn't know any real words yet. His comprehension is great, he understands many of the things we tell him. He's sweet, smart and we love him so much!

Nathan's favorite spot to sit

Dancing!
Trying to load this video again.
Today Nathan realized he can push the button on the farm toy on the fridge and make the music play! He did it several times and danced around the kitchen!

Nathan's 12 month checkup
Last Tuesday on 9/27 was Nathan's 12 month checkup. He is 29 inches tall (25th percentile for height), 21 pounds and 15 oz (25th-50th percentile for weight), and his head circumference is 48cm (90th percentile). He did very well with the doctor and she said "he's advanced", which we all knew already!
He is really starting to make more sounds and has started to say "da", and "doe". I love to listen to his babbling and wonder what he's thinking. He loves to get into his little red wagon and stand or sit in it. He loves his football and he's really into stealing the phone or TV remote when he can get them!
I'm trying to get Nathan to drink whole milk from a cup. After his first taste he gave me a look of such betrayal! Since then he's refusing to even sip it, he some how knows if the cup has milk or water. He's still not very interested in eating solid food regularly, although tonight he actually ate broccoli and pasta and really loved both!
