Nathan: Winter

January

You had a really rough three days when you were sick with a double ear infection. The cuddles and loves were endless.

I loved finding you in the laundry room using the kleenex one at a time. 

Random hugs to daddy at the kitchen table. You always give the best hugs especially for him.

February

The way you say the word "yeah" just melts my heart every time.

Some words you are saying now. Hi, yeah, more, dada, mama, papa, bubbles, book, up, that, no, baby, bye, uh oh, that, tractor, bike.

You like to tap or hit us and then point to what you want.

Somehow you always know when we have food in our mouth or when we are headed to get some food and you always want some no matter what it is.

Becoming more and more obsessed with your sweet little lamby.

You got your first real haircut from dad.

March

You threw lamby right into the toilet while dad was peeing in it.

You know all of the paw patrol pups names. Paw patrol and little baby bum are your favorite shows.

I love it after dad gets you out of the tub and dries you off you come running out to me naked and so happy.

You like to say "that book" all day because you love having books read to you.

You started crying so much at bed time and nap time. It was some kind of regression that was not fun for anyone. I finally couldn't take it anymore and we did cry it out for two or three nights. I think the first night you cried for about two hours before falling asleep hanging over the side of your crib. After that first awful night it only took another day or two for you to fall back to sleep on your own without fussing at all.

When we read stories together at bedtime you first like to tuck lamby into your blanket so he is comfy.

You are starting to say more words like water and purple and yellow.

You love sticking your tongue out and I think I notice it so much because Everett never did.
