Long Time, No Blog
Yes, yes, I am sorry to all the Nathan (or "N Man") fans out there....his mommy has become incredibly slack and not updated the blog in a long long time. So sorry. Now I have to spend some time catching up on things with him so that later in life he doesn't look back and get mad that I didn't keep track of things. I so admire those moms out there (Grandma Geri especially) who were able to make note of all the milestones in their child's life. Everything happens so quickly that I can hardly remember when each new thing happened...the new teeth just keep coming in, he tries new sounds and new words every day, he is running, mimicking...it is all a blur. My new goal is to update the blog at least once a month with all of the latest Nathan news. Let's see what happens.
SO, anyway, since Nathan's first birthday there has been a lot of activity. Uncle Brian and Aunt Maryanne came to visit and that was a fun time. They were amazed at how much of a little person Nathan has become and I am constantly amazed at what a natural Maryanne is with kids...
Then we headed to Atlanta for Uncle David and Aunt Lauren's wedding shower and bachelor/bachelorette party. It was a whirlwind but we got to see a lot of people, meet Lauren's family, and get some pool time in for Nathan. Nathan's love of the water has been one constant throughout his development. He also got braver and was blowing lots of bubbles and putting his face in the water. Very cute. Then we were back to New York for a couple of weeks until we went back to Birmingham for David and Lauren's wedding (see the separate blog about that).
As for Nathan's development, around 13 months he became newly picky about food and doesn't trust Scott or I when we try to feed him something - he will immediately make a face and shudder, spit it out, look at it, and then either throw it on the floor or eat it. He also loves to throw food on the floor which is driving me absolutely nuts.
Nathan has 8 teeth with all four canines (molars) coming in right now - amazing. While in Atlanta with mommy after David and Lauren's wedding, he slipped in the bathtub and knocked his front teeth against the side so now one of his top front teeth is chipped. Why is it that I am the overly careful one and he chips his tooth with me, but Scott throws him around like a stuffed animal and nothing happens (maybe I should learn something from that). Anyway....Nathan is constantly covered in bruises because he still never stops moving...he runs everywhere and still maintains his curiosity and zest for life. He loves to be outside so we spend most of our time walking around looking at the ducks, throwing rocks in the river, seeing dogs, etc. He is fearless too....will run straight over to dogs and strangers to say hello. Which always makes me nervous that he is going to get bitten by an unfriendly dog (or person, for that matter). We call him the "mayor" of our apartment complex because so many people know who he is even when we don't know who they are! He constantly has a smile on his face for everyone and is a really happy kid. Can't stop saying how blessed we are.
Anyway, for fear of writing too much, I'll cut this one off and start the new blog about my brother's wedding.
Cheers!
