I started this a long time ago and meant to add more as he got older. Typically me, I forgot. Still, these are pretty funny.
My photography skills are pretty amateur, but I'd still argue that photographing infants is hit or miss. More often than not I forget to save the really hilarious ones and just delete them, but every once and awhile I remembered.
We started with a new family to share Cathy with. We are now getting to know a 2 month old named Jacob. He's tiny and adorable. Nathan's quite taken with him, but it's hard to believe Nathan used to be that small.
Nathan's been imitating more and more, especially in the car for some reason. We will be driving around going back and for with raspberries and babbles until I realize that if anyone overheard me they would think I had lost it. It's one of the best things ever.
He is starting to attach "da-da" more and more to Brian and has once or twice even uttered something that sounded suspiciously like "book" while we were reading. "Up" happens periodically, when he wants to be picked up, and he'll often say "hi" with an inflection that sounds eerily familiar to me. It's cutest when he's talking to his stuffed animals, whom he loves. I don't know why that surprises me, but it does. A particular favorite is a florescent yellow bear I got at my 4th birthday party from Todd Schmeida (how's that for a childhood memory?). If you're wondering, I opened it on the front steps of our house.
Also, in a recent checkup N weighed in at 19lbs. 12 oz, and 30
inches long. He's tall and lean like his dad. It's making clothes a little
tricky. The things that are long enough for his bean pole legs are a
little roomy in the waist.
In the video below, you'll see a few of his new tricks, playing with his voice and kisses!
On Sunday we had an informal birthday dinner for Mom and Dad while Ted was home. I only took a picture or two with my phone - I was having too much fun!
What a great weekend! Brian is still out of town (skiing in Tahoe with friends) so we headed out to Mom and Dad's for the day. We did a photo shoot while we were there.
And Ted is in town! He's interviewing and looking at houses. We love what this means!
Also, I swear I'm not a terrible mom that lets her boy play in the fire. The vent is completely cool (well, at least not hot, just a little warm) to the touch, so he's fine. He's really good at pulling himself along on the wood. He went about 4 feet in 15 seconds.
