Nathan's Update

Nathan just turned 11 months! He is getting really close to walking. If you let him hold onto your finger he can walk the room. He can stand by himself for a good minute. He can say mom! Which he says all the time. He blows kisses all day long! And smiles a lot! He is such a sweet little guy. He loves his brother Robby and tries to be just like him. Here he is trying to draw, which he does all the time.


Another of his favorite activities is to have a matchbox car and drive it on the floor saying, "rmmm." It's too cute!


He's eating more solids from the table! And enjoys it a lot more than he did baby food...but who could blame him!


Two weeks ago we had a busy day running errands, got home late made a quick dinner so Johnny could go to is night class. It was past bedtime and both kids and mom were grumpy! We always sing some songs from the Children's Hymn book and do a little "Scripture Picture" lesson. Well this particular night to speed things along Robby and I just started singing a song that we know. Nathan immediately crawled as fast as he could over to the bookcase and I kid you not, pulled out the Children's Hymn book and opened it! It was a sweet moment for me. My little 10 month old baby knew that I was rushing, doing it wrong! It wasn't just a coincidence because every night this is Nathan's favorite book to sit on and try and destroy while we sing. It was nice to know that even at such a young age he knows the routine. This was a great lesson for me.
