Five Months Old!
Well, he is almost six months old, but who's counting...
Nathan is growing so fast we are having trouble keeping up! Scott and I can barely remember the days of him being a little helpless baby. Nowadays he is asserting his independence more and more. The latest is that he wants to hold his own bottle, wants to drink water (from a cup, glass, water bottle, etc.), hold a spoon, take part in every meal, and just overall grow up too fast! He also certainly tells us when we are not doing things the way he prefers. It is entertaining now, but I am sure later on will not be as funny. This weekend Nathan's Uncle David and Aunt Lauren are here visiting and we have enjoyed spending time with them. Today Nathan sat in a highchair for the first time at lunch and LOVED it. He has recently been frustrated not having a place at the table, so he was thrilled to partake in the meal....time to clear the table from little hands! We have to keep an eye on the kid at all times.
Nathan, unfortunately, also has caught his first cold this week. I guess it is a blessing that he has been well for five months, but it is still sad to see the little guy suffer with a stuffy nose and cough. It has interrupted our sleep training (just when I was getting used to more sleep), but I am sure we will resume normal once he feels better. He just needs a little more cuddling right now.
Tomorrow we are starting SOLIDS with Nathan. I can hardly believe it. We are going to try some butternut squash puree to accompany his rice cereal. He has been staring longingly at mealtime, watching us eat and mimicking with his mouth open, that I am hoping he enjoys the experience.
Things are changing quickly around here and I am sure that soon his scooting is going to turn into a real crawl. I don't know how we'll keep up, but I am sure it will continue to be fun. We are really enjoying the ride.

Nathan's first highchair experience...he is thrilled!
